About this ebook
Everyone keeps talking about holy cows, but nobody wants to discuss the evil, unholy cows. They creep through nighttime pastures, looking for the next opportunity to make the world a worse place to live.
Opal’s parents think Halloween is evil and that candy is bad for little children. They have never let her go trick or treating. Opal sits at home with her emo bunny and longs to dress up and ask strangers for candy.
Runyx the Unholy Cow is about to change that. Together with Stryk the Scarecrow and Able the Raven, they spend a night looking for the best houses to get candy bars. There is always mischief to be had along the way.
Unholy Cow is a short story.
John H. Carroll
John H. Carroll was the youngest of seven children and was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1970 where he was kept in a dresser drawer with the clean socks. Luckily, he wasn't kept with the dirty socks or else he might have grown up to become slightly warped. As a child, John spent most of his time wandering through the Mojave Desert in an attempt to avoid people. He would stare at the sky, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. One of his favorite memories is watching his dad build the fuselage of Evel Kneivel's skycycle in their garage. One of his least favorite moments was watching that skycycle fall into the Snake River. (Not his dad's fault and he has documentation to prove it, so nyah) As a teenager, John spent most of his time driving wherever he could in an attempt to avoid people. He would stare at the road, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. He was the captain of the chess team, lettered in golf and band while in high school, and wasn't beaten up anywhere near as much as one might imagine. As an adult, John spends most of his time staring at a computer screen in an attempt to avoid people. He stares at the monitor for hours, imagining what it would be like to explore different worlds. Occasionally, he looks around to see what's happening on planet Earth. Quite frankly, it frightens him. He's just going to do his best to write as many books as he can before aliens disintegrate humanity for being so irritating. Emo bunny minions surround John at most times. He is their imaginary friend and they look to him for guidance. At one point, they took over the world. No one noticed because they left everything exactly as it was. They gave the world back after a week because it was depressing. The Ryallon Series is his most popular endeavor into the field of writing. His Stories for Demented Children have lightened the hearts of many strange children and adults. He writes in the evenings and weekends whenever possible.

I dedicate this story to brooms that have the misfortune to be ridden by ugly old witches.
This story is not for good children. It promotes disobedience, sneaking off with strangers, eating lots of candy bars, lying to parents, and mentions teenage drinking. This story is for kids who believe crappily ever after
is much more likely than happily ever after

I hope they throw out some delicious leftovers,
Abel the raven cawed eagerly from a nearby branch. He was staring hopefully at the headlights of a car coming up the dark country road.
Littering is one of my least favorite sins . . . at least it would be if I had a least favorite sin. I really like them all,
Runyx replied in her wicked, rhythmic voice before going back to grazing on luscious green grass. She wasn’t in a normal field, but in the carefully tended yard of a farmer’s house.
Runyx was a beautiful, midnight black cow who loved long walks in the moonlight. She didn’t behave like the other cows, preferring to go off on her own. She had the ability to walk through fences and could even talk to people,
