damn felines

Lucky walks down the street, looking left and right, left and right, watching for food, cars, and feet, all of which are common on a sunny Sunday afternoon. He spots a cat, sitting on a wall, staring back at him with those yellow eyes, swishing its tail back an forth, back and forth. Lucky barks, like he should, (he is a dog of course) and the cat hisses at him and scampers across the wall and disappears into a window on the apartments. Satisfied, Lucky walks down the street, running through puddles from the open fire hydrant that the kids play in, shaking off the water after he is far enough away. He walks down to the park, and sits next to his owner's grave, and sleeps in the afternoon sun.

  1. ...As Ezekiel headed to the carnival, he saw the town mutt. Lucky was surprisingly well fed considering that he had no real owner. He wasn't a fat dog, but he wasn't about to starve. Ezekiel often wondered if he could make Lucky into an article of clothing - perhaps a hat or a purse. Although he had never worked with dogs, they couldn't be too different from leopards. But Ezekiel was quick to cast this thought out of his mind, as he no longer got his income that way.
