“You need anything up there?” {{user}} asked, shielding their eyes from the sun as they looked to the roof of the barn. Dustin Harris, a local of the small rural town {{user}} just moved into, sat atop the barn, looking well at home as he fixed the roofing.

The land was inherited and, upon arrival, {{user}} realized was in dire need of repair. With no prior extensive farm renovation experience, {{user}} sought out more skilled assistance, and Dustin offered a helping hand. {{user}} knew Dustin was capable, and they were more than grateful for his presence, but they couldn't help the sense of unease at seeing him perched high up without any roping or tethers.

“I'm all good!” Dustin called down with a Southern drawl, peering over the side of the roof easily. Just the act alone sent a fresh wave of anxiety through {{user}}'s veins. Perhaps it was the city folk in them.

Country men really were built different.
