It had killed once you could see it in its eyes when it lived, grey eyes, devoid of emotion, and when it cried you just knew they were crocodile tears.

It stalked the night time restless, not at peace, though it was slightly better than the day.

At sun it was full of rage and all battled it because you stand, stand against things of that nature, as it should be.

It's Rage would simmer bubbling to the surface at any given moment.

It hated things, the wind, the sun, rain, the cold, and it hated you most of all in its darkest of hearts.

So it died in the night and honestly it was a relief after all these long long years.

RIP

November 2024 Drabble Challenge: Tell me about your favorite pet

I lost the best dog I've ever had this year on Dios De Los Muertos. I'd like to think there's a cool symmetry in that, and maybe a few stories in my future, but right now, I'm pretty well just mourning the fuck out of my loss. She was awesome. She'd sit next to me in my recliner, upright like a little person, and watch movies with me. So tell me about your favorite pet in a drabble, how bout it? Winner gets a prize. Rules: exactly 100 words using standard grammar, spelling, and punctuation, prose only please. Don't tag me, I'll read all the entries and pick a winner in early December.

Little Jim

Red Heeler Jack Russell Cross the finest little white red specked dog in the Hills, the quickest snake killer his name going down in legend to take a black snake bite and survive to go for hours days missing and ending up on the front page of the local paper leading some protest come parade, taking on a German Shepherd three times his size to come back torn and bloody it's not the size of the dog in the fight but the size of the fight in the dog, a legend, a scrapper, a king of dogs to be remembered.

God

The names of God...

Mattered not

What you believed

Was a glimmer

Of the truth

And you love

As you hate

And you kill

Then you give

As you laugh

You cried

Your deceit

An open heart

Only lies

Forever truth

Blood flowed

While water flowed

I'm sorry

I love you

Coveted money

Sloth

Avarice

Greed

Sin

Forgive them Father

Yes you spoke the words

But did you believe

Yahweh

Jehovah

Alpha and Omega

Michael

Raphael

Jesus

For my name is legion

And we are many

Our Father in heaven

Plum Tree

The bats, flying foxes, with leather wings a foot across, flying in complete darkness against the night, for miles in the pitch black sky, across fields, rivers, human things of brick and wood, how do they find a single plum tree with all this?

Ask a question.

Space

I know space is void right? Planets, suns, black holes, quasar's, satellites, solar systems, asteroids, comets, space stations, zero gravity, cold so cold things freezing, moons, but what holds these things in place in void?.
