Shepherd Boy

Author's Comment: This was originally done in 2007 for a Christmas story writing competition a local newspaper was holding. The requirements were: 500 words or less, had to be Christmas theme, and there was a due date. Please note that it is from 2007, that is from when I was in eight grade. My writing has improved sense them... hopefully. (this story is 490 words, fyi)
