Short Story COLLAB. TRAM HUYNH

On a lazy autumn evening, the animals came back from a long day of work. The humans gave each animal an ounce of food to consume. It's been a month since sanity has settled at Manor Farm. Rebellion has been taboo to speak of by the animals; except one.

Napolean has had some bitter thoughts about the surrender to be equal to the humans. That night he snuck out through the hole in the fence. He walked passed a lot of shrieking trees afraid he ran and ran until he hit a sign post. One read Manor Farm and another read Atlantic Farm.   

Napolean did not know what Atlantic was but he knew what farm was. He had a glimpse of the future with Atlantic Farm as his new home.

    “One I find hid Atlantic farm, it will be mine, oink! oink! oink!” said Napolean. By dawn the road came to an end and a small barn came to view. The barn was in a open valley. Napolean ran towards the barn and made it to the fence.
    On the other side of the fence Snowball slammed open the fenced door and knocked Napolean out. When Napolean woke up all hazy he looked around and saw a lot of farm animals. A face stuck out most, an old horse.

“Molly? Where am I?” he asked her. Silents fell in the crowd and in front of him the crowded slowly separated into two groups and a stubby little pig walked down.

“My home, comrade” smiles Snowball.

    Surprise by Snowballs appearance he was wide eyed. “Your home?!” asked confusedly.
    “Yes, I been in charge since I was vanished by you.” He nods and walks away.
    Molly walks up to Napolean, “Hi Napolean. It is a fair farm here” smiles and walks off.
    That afternoon there was a meeting at the apple tree by the sty. Everyone had a say on everything and Napolean was intrigue by their new found system. Animals were able to vote for what they wanted and the society a liberal way to live but Napolean disagreed with this system. “I will make things go my way” he talks to himself.
    Slowly, Napolean gained trust over the other farm animals. Snowball was cautious but did not care much about what Napolean had to say or do. He believe that the farm animals were loyal to him. But day, by day Napolean gained control and influence over most the animals in the farm. That is when Napolean begins to manipulate the system to his will.
    Molly fed Snowball her observation about Napolean. To calm his nerves Snowball gather a town meeting in the barn. Snowball begins to speak and from the back of the crowd Napolean screams, “Lets us have change.” All the animals vote for Napolean as there new leader, Snowball was kicked out the farm. That was the last anyone had heard of him.
    It has been 2 months that Napolean have been in charge and the farm has turn into a dictatorship. History has repeat itself again with Atlantic farm.
