To foster and encourage growth, you had to first begin with a seed — a start of a new life, the beginnings of a story. It was similar to how you met your husband if only a little unorthodox, but who were you to question a newfound tradition?

The morning was crisp, and the sun was bright, the beginnings of a new, hopeful day – one that you were excited to see the outcome. It was a Sunday, and the Farmer’s Market was in full swing of being set up. Even Bucky had elected to come and help on this occasion instead of working on the farm.

“Where do you want this?” Bucky asked, large crate in hand, this one full to the brim of your famous peaches. 

You pointed to the end of your table. “Over there, please,” you replied. Bucky nodded and placed the crate down with a huff. “Thank you.”

“It’s lookin’ good, sweetheart,” Bucky said abruptly, right over your shoulder. You gasped quietly in surprise and turned to stare at him. “What?”

“Stop scaring the shit outta me,” you sniped, slapping his arm. “We’ve got shit to do now, c’mon.”

Bucky sighed and continued lugging crates from the bed of the truck to the stand, all while people started flooding the square, milling about the stands of produce and haggling for bargains. 

An older woman, the greying strands of hair at her temples bright under the morning sun, stopped at your stall just as you finished setting up the jars of jam. “Hey there,” you greeted, beaming at her. “What can I get for you today?”

“Just some jam, love,” she said. You nodded and collected a couple of jars just as Bucky dropped the last crate with a groan. The older woman smiled at him as he stood behind you.

“All loaded, baby,” Bucky breathed, kissing you on the cheek. You nodded and pointed to a chair, indicating he should sit for a minute (if only to get him out of the way). “Damn right ‘m gonna sit after the hard work you made me do.”

“Ignore my husband,” you breathed, shaking your head.

The older woman laughed. “How did you two meet? I’ve seen you in these parts before, and everyone loves you both.”

Bucky laughed. “It’s my damn horse’s fault, ma’am,” he said, “the bastard was gone on her from the very first second.”

You rolled your eyes as the memory flashed through your mind.  

The old truck you had borrowed from a friend rumbled down the road, gravel, and stone kicking up in its wake – the bitumen long overdue for a patch job. 

It did add to the charm of your small town, though. Your family had spent generations farming the land and supporting the local economy by running endless farmer’s markets – a tourist hotspot, if you did say so yourself, especially going by the recent uptick in new arrivals. 

The recent overtake of Parker’s Provisions by the newcomers , May and Peter Parker, had been a successful move – both having been welcomed and adored in equal measure by the townsfolk, Peter especially. That firecracker of a young man always made your day, rain or shine, and you were looking forward to your weekly supply run for the animals back home. 

Though, the sight of a horse hitched at the front of the sprawling lot of buildings that made up the Parker’s Production lot was a shock. It wasn’t often that the ranchers and farmers on the outskirt properties actually rode into town. Instead, they always elected to bring their trucks and trailers. 

Your truck came to a shuddering stop when you parked, and you killed the engine, taking just a moment to marvel at the horse hitched. It was a stallion, his face soft and kind, but his body was a whole other story. Muscles rippled and twitched as he stood while waiting for his rider – the build of a Quarter Horse very much evident in the stance of the creature. A barrel or cattle mount, you couldn’t quite tell. 

His coat was a chocolate brown, with splashes of white over his flanks and legs, and a thick, pretty stripe adorned his face. 

You couldn’t help but feel that while he looked at you, he was staring straight into you – deep into your being to reveal secrets and mysteries you kept hidden from the world.

It was unnerving, though assuring in the way that being seen was. 

The driver’s door opened with a squeak, and you slid out of the truck and into the hot summer air outside. People milled about with bags and baskets, each one waving a small hello, and you smiled back at everyone politely. A loud voice inside the closest shed told you Peter was on site today, and you smiled. 

“Hey, Pete!” you called, and a brunette mop of hair peeked around the doorway. 

“Hey! Just a sec, I’ll be out with you soon,” Peter yelled back, disappearing again.

You chuckled and made to step towards the stallion, hand outstretched. “Hey, handsome–aren’t you a sight, huh?” The horse snorted, twitched his ears, and stared at you. “I know it’s hot out, but you look like your rider takes good care of you.”

Slowly, the stallion stretched his head out and sniffed the air around your hand, and once he made contact, the soft skin of his muzzle tickled your palm. “You’re just gorgeous,” you breathed, scratching his chin gently. 

“Well, well, well–ain’t every day he finds a Peach he likes,” a voice drawled behind you, and you startled, spinning around on the spot. “Easy, love,” the man said, hands outstretched. “No harm done.”

“I’m sorry, I just- He’s gorgeous,” you rushed, hand over your heart. The man smiled and shook his head, the movement freeing his long hair from behind his ears. Taking a second, you took in the stranger. He was wearing a white tank top that was far too tight, a plaid jacket, and a pair of light jeans with boots – his hair was half up in a bun while the other half hung around his face, sticking to his skin from the sweat of a hot day. 

“He is. A good horse, too,” the man said, still smiling. He walked closer, dug into his saddle bag, and pulled out his wallet. “Aren’t you, Colton? Lettin’ a pretty Peach love on you like that, huh?”

Colton snorted and nudged your shoulder, evidently displeased you stopped paying him attention. You chuckled and pet his neck, feeling the strong muscles under his skin. “A very good horse, indeed.”

The man grinned and shoved his wallet into his back pocket, then he offered you his hand to shake. “I’m Bucky, by the way–too distracted by the fact that my asshole of a horse actually lettin’ someone near ‘im that’s not me.”

This time you laughed, shaking Bucky’s hand and offering your name in return. “It’s nice seeing a fellow rancher out and about with his prize; makes me miss having my own,” you commented, slightly wistful. It had been years since you had owned a horse. 

“I honestly jus’ couldn’t be bothered goin’ back home to get my truck, and Colton needed the exercise anyway, so.” Bucky shrugged. “Best be gettin’ back inside. Stuff won’t pay for itself.”

“Okay,” you said, “I best be going in there too. I have to pick up my order.”

“Oh!” Bucky exclaimed. Then, to your absolute and utter shock, he offered you his arm. “Together then?”

“Well, alright,” you laughed, placing your arm through his. “Why not.”

It was an hour later that you strode back through the doors to your truck, arms full with bags of feed while Bucky and Peter trailed behind you with their own arms full of bags – having had offered to help you carry, and you couldn’t resist the sight of seeing Bucky’s arms bulge under the strain. 

And Lord above, he did not disappoint. 

“Alright, that’s it, miss,” Peter huffed, heaving a bag into the truck’s bed. “See you next week, yeah?”

“Absolutely, Pete, thanks,” you called, waving to the young man’s retreating back. You turned to Bucky, smiling. “Well, it was good to meet you, Bucky.”

Bucky grinned. “Likewise, sugar. You should come and have coffee sometime.” He turned to Colton. “I know that bastard would love it if you came and fed him some peaches or somethin’–greedy sonofabitch,” he laughed, shaking his head at the hilariously deadpan expression on his stallion’s face. 

“I would love to.” The words tumbled from your mouth before you could stop them, and you inwardly sighed. So much for subtlety. “It would be great. How about tomorrow? We can have lunch.”

“Sounds perfect to me, Peach,” Bucky said happily, saluting. “You get home safe now, I’ll come pick you up tomorrow–where do you live?”

You recited your address and smiled nervously, watching as Bucky mounted Colton and turned him around. “I expect all the stops pulled out, mister,” you joked, pointing at him. 

“Can’t disappoint ya, honey–promise,” Bucky joked, “see you tomorrow!”

Colton snorted and started a slow trot away, Bucky’s hand loosely holding the reins as the stallion moved away and turned a corner, out of sight.  

“He’s a decent boy,” a voice said behind you, and you jumped. May was smirking at you from the office. “Always kind and sweet–should give it a go, honey, can’t hurt.”

“You’re right,” you conceded a soft smile on your lips. “Can’t hurt. He ain’t bad to look at, either.”

May laughed and waved goodbye, and you jumped back into your truck, already thinking of all the ways tomorrow could go – or how it would end.

Please Enjoy the Movie (BTAA!Scarecrow x Reader)

Warnings: NSFW (18+ only), some light descriptions of gore, public sex (more like masturbation)

Jonathan's tugging your hand so hard it almost hurts, making you sigh irritably. You could understand his excitement, partially- tickets to his favorite theater to see the latest gory horror film on the market. It made for a nice surprise for a date night and Jon was desperate to get you there.

"If you don't hurry up, I'm ready to throw you over my shoulder to get us in that theater." Jonathan threatened, his face split wide in a grin as you rolled your eyes and kept walking with him. "Alright, alright, I'm coming." You sigh, your own smile giving away your lack of irritation.

Soon you're comfy in the theater, sat in the far back (so Jonathan can observe all the fearful reactions of the audience, he explained). The trailers come and go, you and Jon making idle chat together- and then the movie starts.

It's roughly thirty minutes into the movie when you notice Jonathan's not quite acting right. You hear his breath hitch a few times, noting a small tremble to his shoulders. At first you naively think it's the impossible, that Master of Fear himself was afraid. But then you see him shift in his seat once, twice, too many times to keep track, and his hand is-

Oh.

You don't say anything, you don't turn your head to give away that you're watching him. You glance between Jonathan and the screen, and notice a pattern. The terrified screams from the protagonist make Jonathan twitch and press his palm further against his slacks, the sound of flesh being cut and blood being splattered makes him let out a shaky, breathless hum that could pass for a whine. One particularly horrific moment has Jonathan's other hand moving to cover his mouth, barely muffling the mewl he lets out as he squeezes himself tight. You finally feel your own self-control waver as you move your own hand to help cover his mouth.

"Shh... we don't want everyone else in the theater to hear, do we?"

HUEHUETOCA, Mexico (AP) — A Mexican railway operator announced Tuesday it is temporarily suspending train runs in the northern part of the country because so many migrants are climbing aboard freight cars and getting hurt in the process.

Ferromex said it has temporarily ordered a halt to 60 trains carrying cargo that would fill 1,800 tractor trailers. It said some international trade would be affected by the stoppage.

In recent days, there have been about a "half-dozen regrettable cases of injuries or deaths” among migrants hopping freight cars, the company said in a statement.

The company, owned by conglomerate Grupo Mexico, said some migrants even hopped on moving freight cars “despite the grave danger that represents.”

“There has been a significant increase in the number of migrants in recent days,” Ferromex said in the statement, adding that it was stopping the trains “to protect the physical safety of the migrants,” while it awaited action by authorities to solve the problem.

But the word had yet to trickle down to the migrants themselves, hundreds of whom waited on the tracks and alongside them at a railway yard in Huehuetoca, on the northern outskirts of Mexico City.

Pavel Aguilar Flores, a migrant from Venezuela, was hoping to hop a freight train to Matamoros, a dangerous Mexican border city across from Brownsville, Texas.

“We haven't heard any news,” Aguilar Flores said. “We are going to continue on our journey, and in fact we're waiting for a train.”

“I have heard there have been accidents, but not so many as people say,” he said. “You have to be careful and get on the train when it's stopped, not when it's moving.”

In fact, trains were still running through the railyard at Huehuetoca Tuesday evening, but they weren't heading where the migrants wanted to go.

According to Ferromex, the worst problems appeared to be further north.

The company said there were about 1,500 people gathered at a rail yard in the city of Torreon, in the northern border state of Coahuila. The company also reported about 800 migrants waiting at the freight yards in Irapuato, in the north-central state of Guanajuato.

About 1,000 people were reported to be riding freight cars on the train line that connects the city of Chihuahua and the northern border city of Ciudad Juarez.

Ferromex is Mexico's largest concessionary rail operator and the impact of the train stoppage will be “very important,” said Ana Bertha Gutiérrez, the international trade coordinator for the Mexican Institute for Competitiveness. She noted the measure could hit industrial states like Nuevo Leon, Baja California and Chihuahua hard, given their links to the U.S. market.

Migrants have long used the trains, known collectively as “The Beast," to hitch rides from as far south as Oaxaca state to the U.S. border. About a decade ago, the Mexican government briefly staged raids on the trains to discourage the practice, but later largely abandoned the effort.

The announcement comes as migrants are increasingly desperate to reach the U.S. border.

On Monday, migrants mostly from Haiti burst into an asylum office in southern Mexico city of Tapachula.

Throngs of migrants knocked over metal barricades and pushed past National Guard officers and police stationed at the office. Some of the migrants were trampled by their colleagues in the rush.

Authorities later convinced many to leave, and no injuries were reported.

Crowds of frustrated migrants, including many from Cuba and Honduras, say they have had to wait for weeks in some cases for an appointment at the office in Tapachula, near the border with Guatemala.

At the office, run by the Mexican Commission for Refugee Aid, migrants can file claims for asylum in Mexico. Most, however, intend to use the papers to travel more safely and easily to the U.S. border.

Mexico is on track to receive more asylum applications this year than ever before as the flow of migrants threatens to overwhelm governments of several Latin American countries along the migratory route.

Andrés Ramírez Silva, the director of Mexico’s refugee agency, said last week that the number of asylum applications his agency receives this year could reach 150,000, well above the 129,000 record set in 2021.

My new car arrived to the dealership Friday so we went to check it out. Because it just arrived, none of the after market ad ons were on it yet so I’ll add updated photos after I pick it up Thursday. I’m so excited! They need to tint the front windows, trailer hitch, black out badges, black rims, black exhaust tip. It’s going to look so good!

Steve notices a man approaching his stall with a sly grin on his face. "Well, well, well," he says, eyeing Steve up and down. "What do we have here?”

Steve feels his face flush as he looks up at the stranger. He scans the bustling market, realizing he hasn't seen this man before. His striking features are something Steve would never forget.

"Hi," Steve says, trying to keep his voice steady. "Can I help you?"

The man leans in closer, his hand splayed over the now empty table. "I was hoping you could help me with something," he says, his voice low and husky.

Steve's heart races as he watches the man's fingers trace invisible shapes on the table. He's never been this close to someone so handsome before, and he couldn't deny feeling flustered at the proximity.

"What can I do for you?" Steve asks, trying to keep his voice level.

The man leans in even closer, leaving only a few inches between them. "I was hoping you could help me find something," he whispers. "Something...satisfying."

Steve feels his breath hitch, but he blinks and reminds himself to be professional; this is a customer. He's never been this attracted to someone before, and he's not sure how to handle it.

"I, uh, I have some fresh produce," Steve stammers, gesturing to the now dwindling crate of fruits and vegetables behind his table. "It's all locally grown."

He smirks, his eyes flicking down, and Steve shames himself for feeling like a pervert when he mistakes the man's gaze for landing on Steve's crotch. "I was thinking something a little more...meaty," he says, his voice dripping with something warm.

Steve's face flushed even hotter as the innocent words ring a little dirty in his mind.

"I, uh, I don't think I have anything like that," Steve says, trying to keep his voice steady. "But I think down the way, there's a food truck. If you hurry now, I'm sure you can catch them before they leave."

The man's dark brows furrow and then smooth out again as he smiles. "Not exactly hungry. Looking for something a bit more fulfilling and could really get me workin' up a sweat."

"Oh. Oh! Of course. Are you interested in the position?" Steve smiles as he asks the newcomer. Sparkling blue eyes that remind him of the lake on the edge of his property look him over from head to toe.

The man smirks and cocks his hip out, making Steve's eyes drop and widen at all the golden skin on display. "Oh, I am very interested."

"Great! Let me get you some more info. If you want to meet me at my truck, it's the blue one on the edge of the field. I'll be right over as soon as I close my stand." He smiles, reaching out to shake the man's hand, but the touch makes him shiver.

Hay There

Or; Shayne and Charlie’s Halloween 2022 - Event 1 / 2

Thank you Rowan @emetogirl for the request and inspiration for this fic!! Haunted hay rides are not a culture I was familiar with but I’m now obsessed with them and am not sure why they’re not a thing in my country. I imagined a bunch of local brands taking advantage of the crowds and the autumnal theme; not sure if that’s also a thing.

Also, I’m not sure about the little outsider POV snippet in the middle but I really wanted to insert something sweet and magical and supernatural. It also kind of ties into Charlie’s future relationship with his niece.

CW: food mention, Shayne’s taking-up-space anxiety, anxiety symptoms, Halloween attraction, supernatural / body horror imagery, “little kids being sensitive to the supernatural” trope, emeto.

___

Shayne sighed as he settled down next to Charlie. He was fairly sure he’d never sat on hay – or was this straw? – before, despite Charlie’s belief that anybody who didn’t grow up in the city must have lived in a barn for at least one summer of their childhood.

The sun had gone down less than fifteen minutes ago, casting everything in a cool, vaguely navy haze. Glowing lanterns had been set up throughout the trees and around the market stalls, and Shayne already felt less anxious than he had when he’d arrived. The darkness was like a weighted blanket between him and reality.

“You want some of this?” Charlie asked in a low voice. He had his body turned towards Shayne to shelter the remains of his pumpkin seed muffin from view. The tickets had stated that no food or drink was allowed on the trailer, so he was trying to finish it before anyone noticed.

“No.”

“God damn it,” Charlie mumbled, breaking off piece after piece of the muffin and shoving them frantically into his mouth.

“You did this to yourself,” Shayne pointed out. 

Charlie had gone a little crazy at the market stalls. They had eaten dinner at home before coming, but there had been too many snacks and drinks that Charlie had wanted to try. Maybe one day, Shayne could be the kind of boyfriend who could split everything with him, but this was not that day. 

“Alright, folks, sit down, quickly now, please!” A woman in a luminous vest stood at the back of the trailer, eyeing everybody who’d climbed on as though they had all come specifically to cause her trouble.  

Charlie’s eyes widened. He folded the muffin wrapper and put it in his jacket pocket. He kept his head lower and tucked towards Shayne as he chewed. His cheeks were pushed out slightly, like a cartoon chipmunk.  

Shayne raised his eyebrows in mild amusement. “Y’okay?”

Charlie glared at him and attempted to swallow multiple times.  

The majority of the group were either a bit younger than Charlie and Shayne, or significantly older. About twelve people could fit in the trailer at a time. And Shayne was one of them. 

He wondered if any of these passengers had another friend or child or partner who hadn’t been able to get on the trailer with them because Shayne was here.

You take up so much –

“Alrighty, folks!” the woman in the luminous vest called out, and Shayne jumped. He wondered if she was a part of the show herself, but that seemed unlikely. “We just have a couple of safety announcements to go over...”

Shayne looked at Charlie; once he’d finished choking down his muffin, he’d twisted around on his bale so that he could look over the side of the trailer. He seemed to be peering down at where it was hitched to the back of the little ride-on tractor.  

Shayne tapped him lightly on the shoulder. “Quick question. Why do you hate me?”

Charlie’s blue eyes glinted in the low light as he turned his head. “I don’t hate you. I love you.”

“Shut up.”

“No! I love you, and I want to do fun things with you.”

“You’re so sure this is going to be fun,” Shayne whispered, making sure he wasn’t about to get himself yelled at for talking over the woman going over the safety precautions – he'd had enough of being publicly scolded in his school days, thank you very much.  

“Alright, it might not be fun. It might be the worst thing ever. But at least we’ll suffer together.” Charlie rested his hand on Shayne’s knee, just for a few seconds. “You know, I enjoy your company so much. Even when you’re being grumpy.”

Shayne felt heat rush to his face, and a gentle flutter in his stomach. He had no more snarky remarks.

Charlie’s gaze fell upon something just to the side of Shayne’s head. He reached out and plucked a piece of straw that had somehow gotten caught in Shayne’s hair. 

“Oh!” Charlie twirled the yellow stem between his fingers, right in front of Shayne’s face. “Hay there, beautiful.”

Shayne’s stomach fluttered again. 

“I hate you,” he said fondly. 

He took the piece of straw out of Charlie’s hand.

They started to chug forward through the designated trail, tires crunching through dried mud. The woman in the vest was now crouched in the back of the trailer, still calling out instructions.

“... hands, feet, children, personal belongings... inside the trailer – okay, no, she can’t sit on your lap. She has to sit beside you, please.”  

The man sitting to Shayne’s right had a five- or six-year-old girl perched sideways across his thighs; he clicked his tongue loudly as he was addressed.

“Sorry, can I just –?” her father asked, turning towards Shayne.

“Yeah, sorry, sorry,” Shayne blurted out. He moved a little closer to Charlie, who also tucked himself a bit more neatly against the wood at the top of the trailer.  

The little girl was placed next to Shayne, and she immediately turned around to sit up on her knees and face outwards. She was dressed as a fairy, or an angel, or something; one of her little nylon wings brushed against the side of Shayne’s arm. He glanced down nervously, saw that she was staring right up at him, and looked away again.

He shifted his weight on the hay – straw? He felt like he should really know the difference – and tucked his arms tightly around his waist.  

The person across from him had their legs stretched out, and pulled one foot back a bit when they almost kicked the side of Shayne’s boot. Shayne also found himself sitting up a little straighter and pulling his own feet closer to the bale, too.

So much, so much –

“I told you you’d be cold.” Charlie reached up to adjust his blue-and-grey tartan scarf, to which Shayne instantly rolled his eyes. As they’d been walking out to the car earlier, Charlie had been very smug about the fact that he was wearing a scarf.  

“I’m not cold,” Shayne said.

“You’re not?”

Shayne shook his head. He reckoned it wouldn’t be the most productive or festive thing to try to explain to Charlie that he was sitting with his arms locked around himself because he felt so... unnecessary? Was that even the word? He didn’t even really want to be here, so why did he deserve to take up all this space –?

So much, so much space.

Charlie put up his hand to draw Shayne’s face around to look at him. His palm was so warm and familiar against his cheek that Shayne just wanted to burrow into him, to stop existing on the physical plane and just live in Charlie’s warmth forever –

“Hey. You’re okay,” Charlie smiled.  

“It’s a lot of people,” Shayne admitted, even as guilt clawed at his throat. He shook his head again, both at himself and at the situation. It was too late for either of them to get off the ride now, so all he’d done was give Charlie the chance to feel bad for bringing him here.

Charlie nodded, the calm smile never fully leaving his face. “Okay. Um, let’s swap seats? That way you’ll be on the end, and you won’t have any strangers beside you –”

He started to get up as he was relaying his plan, and the motion prompted an immediate yell from the instructor who sat at the back of the trailer.

“No standing while we’re moving, please!”

Even though he wasn’t the one being singled out, goosebumps broke out across the back of Shayne's neck and all along his arms.

Charlie froze where he was, knees bent, hovering just above the bale. “We were just –”

“Shut up, Charlie,” Shayne hissed. He couldn’t raise his voice any louder, despite the fact that almost everybody else in the trailer had gone back to chatting amongst themselves as they trundled along. He put a hand on Charlie’s waist and pulled him back down onto the hay. “It’s okay. Thank you, though.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, now shut up and enjoy yourself.”

One wheel of the trailer seemed to hit a slightly raised rock, which jolted Charlie into gripping the edge of the wood. He looked out ahead of them, tilting his head as they passed beneath an archway of bare, spindly trees that reached up on either side of the trail to meet in the centre. His eyes darted back and forth, like he was following the direction of the branches. His mouth was set in an easy smile.

Shayne blinked, remembering that he was supposed to be looking at his surroundings, not at Charlie.

The trees were all harshly lit from underneath, casting deep shadows up through their branches. Up ahead, the trees had been strewn with fake spiderwebs that seemed as though they would almost brush the heads of the taller people in the trailer. A huge, fake spider hung down amidst the shadows.

Shayne realised he was instinctively on the lookout for anything that might use those shadows to enter from another realm. The farmland had a strange, pulsating energy, similar to the Mulberry forest, but for the most part, it was empty. No matter how spooked the kids taking this hay bale ride might get, they were safe, and that made Shayne feel a little better about the entire thing.

That was until Charlie jumped and screamed.  

A woman sitting across from him shrieked in response to Charlie’s outburst, and a few of the other passengers cackled to themselves.

“What the f–” Shayne quickly stopped himself from swearing, casting a glance towards the little girl and her father. The pause let him calm down and think a bit more clearly. “What happened?”

“The spider,” Charlie lamented.

Shayne quickly glanced back the way they’d come, to where the model spider had been dangling down through the tree branches. “The spider – the spider didn’t do anything, love.”

“No, but I thought it was going to drop down on me.”

Shayne grimaced. “So, you jump-scared yourself?”

“Hey, shut up,” Charlie broke into a nervous grin as the trailer began to slow down and the trees began to taper off into open, grassy space.

Charlie gasped and whimpered as an actor in a pale white mask leaned over the side of the trailer, cackled next to his face, and scampered away again. He was left with one hand pressed to his mouth, and the other to his chest.

“Are you for real?” Ugh. Shayne heard himself say it a second later. He sounded so mean.

But he was genuinely curious; he kept thinking about how silly and dramatic Charlie acced around Belle and their younger cousins. He couldn’t help but wonder if the jumping and yelping was for the sake of the girl sitting next to them.

Charlie pulled his scarf up a little higher, so that his mouth and nose were hidden. He sank a little lower on his bale.

“I’m sorry,” he laughed in a low, breathy voice. His eyes twinkled with that genuine tint of shyness that he got whenever he was embarrassed or flustered – Shayne knew it all too well.  

“Come on.” Shayne slipped an arm around Charlie’s shoulders. “You’re half demon. You’re a hundred times scarier than any of these fu–”  

Shit, no, don’t say ‘fuckers’ in case that little kid is listening. He probably shouldn’t have said anything about Charlie being a half-demon either.

“Funny people,” he said instead.

He glanced to his other side, to see that the girl was, indeed, still looking – no, staring – at him again. Maybe it was because Shayne had his arm around Charlie? Could she tell what that meant? It was possible that she’d never seen two people being this physically close in public before, not to mention two guys.

“Funny people...” Charlie shook his head incredulously as he mumbled behind his scarf. His voice was shaking a little and it made Shayne’s insides melt.  

He scoffed and pulled Charlie a little bit closer. It was almost too dark for anyone to notice. And if anybody had a problem regardless, then... honestly, they could fuck right off. “I’ve got you, idiot. I’ll eat any bad guys that try to get you.”

“Aw. Thank you, lovely.” Charlie freed his mouth from its scarf-prison long enough to lean over and give Shayne a kiss.  

___

The kiss would only last a couple of seconds, but it would be long enough for her to see them as they truly were.

The dark-haired one, his skin ashen, his eyes wide and dark and gaping when they fluttered open, his mouth hinging all the way back at his jaw. 

The blonde one, his veins grey and spiralling and pressing too closely to the skin, his left temple producing a curled horn. 

She would blink, and they would be two regular people again. Still gay, of course, but perfectly human-esque. Indistinguishable to the thousands of other people she would meet in her lifetime.

And she would not remember what she had seen. She would remember having a fun night with her dad. She would remember the sensation of experiencing abject, otherworldly beauty, but it would be intertwined with the series of mild jump scares, the smell of pumpkins and Halloween sweets, and the flickering of Jack O-Lanterns in the dark.  

And she’d remember it as one of the most magical nights of her life.

___

"Ah.” Charlie made a face. “Your lips are so cold.”

“Yours taste like apple juice,” Shayne mumbled. It sounded like a bit like a metaphor, like he just meant that Charlie’s kisses were comforting and sweet, but Charlie had actually purchased a bottle of artisanal apple juice at the market when they’d arrived, and then a second one just before their hay bale ride. 

In fact, he had downed the second bottle on their way to the trailer.  

Charlie continued to clutch Shayne’s hand as the ride went on, jumping and yelping occasionally. Actors crept out of the dark in costumes. Shayne felt a shudder run down his spine as somebody ran at the side of the trailer with a – presumably fake? – chainsaw and started yelling next to Shayne’s head. He wished the actors weren’t allowed to get so close.  

Certain objects actually did fall from the trees and dangled precariously over their heads. Sound effects accompanied surprise appearances of props and tricks of the light. As they went through a low stone tunnel, lights spun around them like they’d entered a portal; Shayne had to shut his eyes to avoid getting dizzy.

But mostly, he spent his time reacting to Charlie’s jumps, Charlie’s whispers, Charlie’s hand-squeezing.

The little girl dressed as a fairy seemed to have nerves of steel, and simply laughed and clutched her father’s arm during most of the scares. Her giggling was so infectious than Shayne had to smile at one point, at which point he felt the urge to squeeze Charlie's hand – not out of fright, but out of some fluffy emotion he couldn’t explain.

___

Even after the scares were over, and they circled back to the market area, Shayne could still feel Charlie crushing the life out of his hand. Shayne tried to catch his eye, but he kept glancing off to the side, as though he was looking for something out in the darkness.

Charlie was on his feet as soon as the trailer stopped, though he still had to wait for the passengers near the back to get off first. Shayne remained seated until he was sure he wouldn’t be in anybody’s way. He followed Charlie as he headed towards the car park.

Shayne realised how quickly he was having to walk, just to keep up with Charlie. They had to cut through the little market on the way, and Charlie was not even glancing at the stalls he was passing. They’d already visited most of them earlier, but it still wasn’t like Charlie not to even glance.  

He’d been in such a good mood when they’d gotten here, and now...

The anxiety crept back into Shayne’s stomach as he racked his brain. Had some part of the ride really gotten to Charlie? Was he upset about how many times Shayne had complained about coming here, or how much he’d teased him for being jumpy?

Asshole. Fix it.

“Charlie,” Shayne said as softly as he could, hoping to pry his boyfriend back from whatever state had taken hold of him. They were passing by the stand that Charlie had bought two bottles of apple juice from earlier. “Did – did you wanna buy some more of that juice you liked? To take home?”

Charlie smiled stiffly and shook his head. “I’m fine if you are.”

“Yeah? I’m good...”

“It’s okay if we go home then?”

“Of course.” That had been all Shayne had wanted since they’d arrived, but now that it was happening, he felt disgustingly hollow.  

Even if he wasn’t the reason Charlie’s mood had dropped, he wanted to know what it was. He wanted to understand. Feeling detached from what was going on in Charlie’s head was scarier than anything they’d seen on the hay bale ride.

The lights from the marketplace started to disappear behind them as they entered the field that the farm owner had assigned as parking space. When Shayne tried to take Charlie’s hand, he flinched suddenly, his face ashen as he glanced over his shoulder.

“Charlie, what’s going on?” Shayne felt a nervous laugh vibrate in his chest. “Hey – come on, we’re off the ride now. Nobody’s going to jump out at you anymore.”

“No, no, it’s not that, it’s –” Charlie’s hand slipped out of Shayne’s. He stumbled a couple of steps away on the dark grass, leaning over and retching loudly.

Shayne grimaced and glanced apologetically at a family that were trying to get past them on the way to their car. The mother pulled her son’s hand to keep him close to her as he gawked at Charlie.  

Shayne laid a hand on Charlie’s back. His spine convulsed and stiffened as thick, pale vomit poured out of his mouth and mingled with the grass.  

About a minute later, Charlie looked up at him with a shaky smile and finished his previous sentence. “It’s my tummy.”

“I – yeah, I kind of figured.”  

Shayne reached for the front of Charlie’s scarf, which was dangling dangerously close to the path that his stomach contents would take if he retched again. Thankfully it was still clean. 

He’d never hear the end of it if that scarf got ruined. 

He tugged the slightly scratchy tartan fabric over Charlie’s shoulder and smoothed both ends of it down over the back of his jacket. His fingers brushed against a piece of hay that’d gotten stuck to the fibres. 

He pulled it off and held it out next to Charlie’s shoulder.

“Hay,” he said softly. “You okay?”

“Ugh.” Charlie’s expression was drawn as he squinted upwards from his crouched position. “Did you just say oak-hay?”

Shayne grimaced and flicked the piece of hay away. “Seriously, how are you feeling?”

“A little better.” Charlie belched and turned his head towards the ground again. “I’m just a bit motion sick from the trailer, maybe.”

“Mmhmm. Or maybe it was the two bottles of apple juice that you chugged before –”  

That prompted another strangled groan from Charlie’s throat. He pressed his hands against his thighs and locked his elbows. “Please don’t juice-shame me right now.”

“Sorry.” Shayne flinched. He rubbed slow, wide circles into Charlie’s back as the poor boy coughed and spit into the grass. “When did you start feeling sick?”

Charlie carefully straightened his back, smoothing a hand over his belly. Shayne had a strong urge to reach out and do that for him, but there was a steady trickle of people coming and going through the car park. He wasn’t sure Charlie would appreciate the gesture in a public setting, especially when he was feeling like crap.

“Somewhere around the tunnel with all the spinning lights.” Charlie made a nauseated face and drew a circle in the air with his finger. “I think that part messed me up.”

Shayne had to agree, seeing as he’d shut his eyes for most of the tunnel. He gave a sympathetic grunt and put an arm out, so that Charlie could lean into his chest and shoulder if he wanted to.  

He apparently did. His jaw burrowed into Shayne’s collarbone.

“Did you have fun up until that part, at least?”

“I did,” Charlie sighed. His eyes anxiously met Shayne’s in the dark. There was a shadow developing below his eye sockets, and a glazed shine to his blue eyes. Vomiting always took it right out of him.  “Thank - ugh. Thank you for coming with me.”

“You’re welcome.” Shayne frowned and brushed Charlie’s hair back from his eyes. He kept an arm around Charlie’s shoulders and started to guide him the rest of the way to the car. “You gonna be okay to drive us home?”

“Uh-huh. I’m good.” Charlie’s breath hitched and he gulped so hard that Shayne heard it. He looked a little less certain. “M-might have to pull over on the way.”

Shayne idly brushed another few pieces of hay from the sleeve of Charlie’s jacket. “You mean, ‘on the hay’?”

“Shayne.” Charlie sighed as they parted ways, so that he could head for the drivers’ side door. He still had a hand resting against his stomach, and he couldn’t quite straighten his shoulders, but the ghost of a smile crossed his face. 

Shayne pretended to wince. “You’re gonna make me walk home, aren’t you?”

“Yeah, that was the last straw.”

Shayne half-smiled to himself. He slipped a hand into his jacket pocket and felt for that first piece of straw that Charlie had taken out of his hair earlier. He thought about pulling it out and saying that, actually, no, this was the last straw, but he decided to keep that one to himself.

Understanding Dump Trailers

What is a Dump Trailer?

A dump trailer is a versatile piece of equipment designed to transport and unload large quantities of materials such as soil, gravel, construction debris, and more.

Dump trailers come in various types, each suited for different tasks and requirements. Here are the main types:

Side Dump Trailers: These trailers dump materials from the side. They are ideal for projects that require precise dumping or when space is limited.

End Dump Trailers: These trailers tilt backward to dump materials. They are perfect for transporting and unloading large volumes of material quickly.

Bottom Dump Trailers: Also known as belly dump trailers, these dump materials from the bottom. They are commonly used in road construction and other large-scale projects.

Gooseneck Dump Trailers: These trailers have a gooseneck hitch, providing better stability and weight distribution. They are often used for heavy-duty hauling.

Bumper Pull Dump Trailers: These are attached to the towing vehicle with a bumper hitch. They are more maneuverable and easier to hook up than gooseneck trailers.

Key Features of Dhaul Dump Trailers

1. Payload Capacity

The payload capacity of a dump trailer is the maximum weight it can carry. Dhaul offers trailers with varying payload capacities to suit different requirements. When selecting a trailer, consider the weight of the materials you typically transport and choose a model that can handle your heaviest loads.

2. Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is the heart of a dump trailer, powering the lifting mechanism. Dhaul trailers are equipped with robust hydraulic systems that ensure smooth and reliable operation. Look for trailers with high-quality hydraulic components to avoid breakdowns and ensure efficient dumping.

3. Construction Material

The material used in constructing the trailer’s frame and body is a critical factor in its durability and performance. Dhaul trailers are made from high-strength steel, providing excellent resistance to wear and tear. Additionally, consider trailers with corrosion-resistant coatings for added longevity.

4. Axles and Tires

The number and type of axles, as well as the quality of the tires, significantly impact a trailer’s performance. Dhaul trailers come with heavy-duty axles and high-quality tires designed for stability and durability. Ensure the trailer you choose can handle the terrain and loads you will encounter.

5. Dump Angle and Height

The dump angle and height determine how easily and efficiently materials are unloaded. Dhaul trailers are designed with optimal dump angles and heights to ensure complete unloading of materials, reducing the need for manual intervention.

6. Safety Features

Safety should always be a priority when selecting a dump trailer. Dhaul trailers are equipped with various safety features such as breakaway systems, safety chains, and reflective tape to enhance visibility. These features help prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.

How to Choose the Right Dhaul Dump Trailer

Selecting the right dump trailer involves considering several factors to ensure it meets your specific needs. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you choose the perfect Dhaul Dump Trailer:

1. Assess Your Needs

Begin by evaluating your requirements. Consider the type of materials you will be hauling, the volume, and the frequency of use. For example, if you need a trailer for occasional use in landscaping projects, a smaller model might suffice. However, if you’re in construction and need to transport heavy loads daily, you’ll require a more robust trailer.

2. Determine the Payload Capacity

Based on your needs assessment, determine the payload capacity you require. It’s essential to choose a trailer that can handle your heaviest loads to avoid overloading, which can lead to breakdowns and safety hazards.

3. Choose the Right Type

Select the type of dump trailer that best suits your needs. Consider factors such as maneuverability, stability, and ease of use. For example, if you need to transport materials on rough terrain, a gooseneck trailer might be more suitable due to its stability.

4. Consider the Size

Dump trailers come in various sizes, and choosing the right size is crucial for efficiency. A trailer that is too small will require multiple trips, while one that is too large may be cumbersome to maneuver. Consider the size of your towing vehicle and the space you’ll be operating in when selecting the trailer size.

5. Evaluate the Hydraulic System

Ensure the hydraulic system is robust and reliable. A high-quality hydraulic system will ensure smooth operation and reduce the risk of breakdowns. Check for features such as hydraulic lifts with remote controls for ease of use.

6. Check the Construction Quality

Inspect the construction quality of the trailer. Look for trailers made from high-strength steel with corrosion-resistant coatings. A well-constructed trailer will last longer and require less maintenance.

7. Look for Safety Features

Safety should be a top priority. Ensure the trailer has essential safety features such as breakaway systems, safety chains, and reflective tape. These features will help prevent accidents and ensure safe operation.

8. Consider Customization Options

If your project has unique requirements, consider trailers that offer customization options. Dhaul provides various customization options, allowing you to tailor your trailer to your specific needs.

It is no wonder why I feel horribly sick today! I even had to take a day off from being the local Republican politician’s foot stool. He has only made me bankrupt 2 of my businesses selling rusty shit that I found at a flea market. That stuff is the real gold. My diagnosis is that I just learned the first iPhone was released today in 2007. It explains everything. I didn't even need WebMD to know that I will die today. Doctors don’t know shit anymore, just to mention. Bleach has been doing great with treating my health issues. My savior Donald Trump taught me that. I get why the emos drink it now. I should had listened to them about that one thing before they died. Mental health ain’t real. They should had went into the military instead. I didn't to dodge the draft. I ain’t know how to fight anyways. I shoot first, and then go do their wife to cheat on my wife again. She is my adopted sister from Asia. I learned about the iPhone using the Yahoo search engine on my favorite browser, Internet Explorer. I should had never touched that white girl witch butt, and in so got curious about Apple products! I just got bored where she was reading this book about Greek gods. I don’t like reading. I cheated through high school and college through paying my way through it. I have an MBA and know everything. My rich dad really paid for it all and allowed for me to claim that it was because I was good at football. Before everything, I was finishing up some food her grandma thought was too spicy. They all don’t like using salt. I should make one last post on Twitter to make all my friends aware I will be dying. I don’t really get why most of them are called bigots and racists on there. Well, I will see you all in Heaven! Speaking of, I hope the Lord forgives me for cussing once. It was 21 years, 5 months, 2 days, 4 hours, 1 minute, and 10 seconds ago. I was stopped at a Walmart by this old guy asking for my receipt, and all because I was wearing my rebel flag shirt and had a barbwire tattoo on my arm. I asked for the manager of course with my beautiful homemade pixie cut. Don’t forget to bury my piece of shit raised truck with its set of balls on the hitch with me. I want something with balls on top of me when I go. My wife had them cut off at birth before adopted. I never got those trans people. They going to hell! It is a shame it won’t be my 2nd cousin in the coffin instead. We came from a long line of royal families in England. It is a royal family thing. None of you would know. I’d rather be all American but I have a little Cherokee in me. We white folk sure do like genocide. You better serve bud light and venti white chocolate mochas at the funeral. Leave my man bun up. It’ll be okay to make duck faces and push out your flat butt when taking a picture with me in the casket. Hashtag: lastinstagramphoto. You just can’t do no gay shit with me. I better go do some trailer park coke and eat some well done steak with ketchup as my last meal. I don’t eat no vegetables. They make the frogs gay. I’ll share only one bite with my German Shepard and then beat the shit out of him like how his previous owners do to all but white people. They just shouldn’t resist. He is a retired police dog. I better head on out while the good Lord lets me in these last few hours. Oops. Almost forgot my mayonnaise. That some good pudding. Thanks Steve Jobs! Damn liberals!

Here’s the surprising truth: Over 40% of owner-operators with refrigerated trailers nationwide reported lower profit margins than expected in a 2023 study by the American Trucking Associations (ATA).

And guess what? You’re not alone in this struggle. This challenge hits especially hard for trucking businesses in the Central and Midwest regions. In these regions, studies by ATA suggest reefer utilization rates can fall below 70%, compared to the national average of closer to 80%.

This blog is for you!

Whether you’re a seasoned trucker or just starting out, we’ll break down everything reefer trailers: renting vs. leasing, when renting makes sense, where to find the best deals, and the big debate — climate-controlled rentals vs. leasing.

What are Reefer Trailers?

“A short answer for new business owners.”

Why Renting a Reefer Trailer Might Not Be Paying Off

Mismatched Needs and Services: Not every rental service meets your requirements. Ensure the provider you choose has the right type of trailer, whether single-temperature or multi-temperature units.

Not Utilizing the Latest Technology: Advancements in reefer technology mean better efficiency and savings. Rentals that offer up-to-date technology can help in improving your ROI.

Failure to Calculate Total Costs: Beyond the rental price, consider additional expenses such as fuel and repair. These can impact the overall cost-effectiveness of renting a reefer trailer.

Short-Term Thinking: While short-term rentals offer flexibility, compare the cost benefits of renting versus leasing for long-term needs.

Choosing the right rental service, considering the type of goods you’re transporting, and weighing the benefits of various agreements can drastically improve your ROI when renting reefer trailers.

Always aim for services that align with your financial and operational needs, and don’t hesitate to explore newer technologies that could offer better efficiency and savings.

Which Option is Best: Climate Controlled Trailer Rentals or Leasing?
