What sort of untapped potential does our livestock possess? Kentucky-born playwright and former Atlantan Johnny Drago has an idea.
In this edition of the ”Storytellers” series, Drago narrates “What Have I Done to You That You Beat Me These Three Times?” – his story of a ne’er-do-well who happens upon a very talented donkey.
“How do we know it ain’t no trick if you’re the one what asks all the questions?” The crowd fell silent, awaiting Barker’s response.
“Alright, fine then!” Barker threw his hands up. “But I warn you—” He felt his bottom lip begin to quiver. “—a donkey can only know so much math!”
This story originally appeared as the first place winner in Creative Loafing’s 2012 Fiction Contest.
