JT Pearson
JT Pearson is possibly more myth than reality. It is widely believed that he has been around for thousands of years. Archeological digs have uncovered Grecian artwork that suggests that they prayed to him to cure ailments of the feet. Irish legend insists that JT Pearson is that movement in shadow that you’re not certain that you actually saw, or that image at the edge of your peripheral vision that vanishes when you turn toward it. In the upper Midwest of the United States people had claimed that they had several images of JT Pearson captured on film but they were all poor quality and eventually proven to be hoaxes. It is only recently that an artist rendering was discovered in the attic of an old convent that is believed to be authentic. President Richard Nixon had claimed before his death that JT Pearson was the specter that haunted his boyhood home, and quite possibly the reason that his mother left his father for a short time. Nestled among all of these legends and hearsay is the accusation that he is the author of this sight and responsible for the drivel that has been filling your head. Lawyers for JT Pearson advise that if you read his work you do so at your own peril and no form of compensation either monetary or otherwise will be offered for any injuries permanent or short term which are incurred within the pages of his stories. If you’d like to communicate with JT Pearson either burn a photograph of yourself and sprinkle the ashes into the wind at dusk or you may take the more conventional route at thehungryrobot2005@gmail.com P.S. look for novels coming in the near future. For now, please enjoy the many short stories that he has provided for you to read for free. Feedback is much appreciated.

Stealing Sunday

copyright 2013 Joseph Pearson
Smashwords edition
John and Kim, a married couple in their late twenties pulled up to the monstrous estate owned by John’s father, Bud Newton, a former Texas All American football star and current owner of the largest car dealership in Dallas. Cars were parked at all angles and in positions so tight to other cars that it was a mystery that anyone had been able to open the doors and exit the vehicles. John studied both the driveway and the road that ran past the house before throwing up his hands.
I told you that we should’ve come earlier,
Kim said, with a sigh.
This was to be expected on Sundays when the Cowboys played. Suddenly there was a knock on John’s window, startling him. He rolled the window down after recovering with a polite smile. His younger brother Danny reached through the window and tucked a football into his stomach with the dexterity of a former quarterback, which he was. Two year starter for the Texas Longhorns. John’s other brother Roger also had played quarterback, a backup at Texas A & M. John wasn’t nearly as big as his brothers who took after their father Bud, standing around six two, give or take a quarter of an inch. John took after his mother Maria who was only five four. He stood five foot eight and had been a kicker in high school. Never able to play in college. All three of the Newtons worked as salesmen for Bud at his dealership where the slogan was, Newton’s: where prices must come down.
Gonna have to run this one around the outside I’m afraid, John,
Danny said. He waved his arm at all of the cars. You’re just going to have to get here earlier.
I told him that this morning,
said Kim.
All of the spots on the west side of the house already taken too?
asked John.
Fraid so.
Danny leaned into the window. He moved a lock of blond hair that had fallen in front of his eyes. Afternoon, Kim.
He was working a blade of grass over between his teeth, a replacement for the cigarettes that had recently held that position. That Aikman jersey looks awful nice on ya, Kim.
He winked at his brother. She looks good enough to tackle.
Danny had the same kind of charm that his brother Roger
