Queequeg was alert scanning the hallway for any signs of threats to the mother and her newborn foals that lay just beyond the door behind him
Every creak of the floor, every bump in the night was cause for concern
Daddy had told you a monster human was going around doing bad things to mamma and baby fluffies during dark times
A very long time passes without anything happening
Suddenly the tumbling of a lock breaks through the silence
Followed by the turning of a doorknob
The door opened so slowly that the
creaking was barely audible
Then the door was closed just as slowly
Then once again deafening silence
Time seemed to stand still
Then without warning time once again started flowing as slow methodical footsteps rippled through the darkness
Every step could be heard more clearly than the last
Figure turns the corner
A soft feminine voice barely above whisper cascades down the hallway
“Giggle”
The figure takes slow steps towards the door
Her stride almost whimsical in nature
The figure stops realizing something is blocking the door
They tilt their head confused as to what they are seeing
A light from their phone illuminating
The ringed pupils of a Doberman sized cannibal fluffy
Less than 4 feet away from her
“OH! FU…”
“Bite them bite them harder than you’ve ever bitten anything before and don’t let go!”
Those were daddies instructions
And even though you didn’t like intentionally hurting others
You would not let anything hurt sugar bell or her babies
You lunge knocking the figure over pinning them to the ground
Your jaw locks in a vice like grip around their shoulder with a chunky CRUNCH!
“SOMEONE!
ANYONE!
HELP ME!
PLEASE I DON’T WANNA DIE!”
