I am Gideon: Chapter #23

Grayson was a striking individual.  He was very tall, which made him intimidating. He had a close-cropped beard and shoulder-length brown hair.  His eyes were a sooty black and he moved with a fluid grace like nobody I’d ever seen.  The horses loved him and I swear he could talk to them.  He spoke very little after that first night, and seemed to be carrying grief on his shoulders.  I soon learned that, like me, he didn’t particularly enjoy spending time with the others in the bunkhouse.  He walked in the woods, I guess, and spent time with the horses in their stalls.
