Scribner writes somewhat surreal dreamlike Kafkaish short stories. This tale is a free captivating amazon kindle book. James is mourning the death of his wife and two children killed as they left his house. He feels that he should have gone with them or, better yet, stopped them from going. He drowns his pain in alcohol. Although he is a clinical psychologist, his training doesn't help him. He falls asleep and awakes in a grassy knoll surrounded by an electric fence next to a prison inmate who had stolen a truck and killed four people while trying to evade the police. Four unusual cows with fangs hiss at the two of them, obviously intending to eat them. But the cows are afraid of the electric fence. There is a large hour glass hanging from the fence with time running out. Readers will be entranced finding out what happens to the two men.
