Some Questions about the Justice System

30 Days of Fiction: Day 29

December 27, 2018 by Joe Gray in 30 Days of Fiction, Fiction, Short Stories

Taratumba was the smallest cheetah cub.

His brother and sister were much larger and would never let Taratumba win any of the games.
His mother would watch as they wrestled and raced.
Even though Taratumba was always overpowered and last in the races he never stopped trying.
