At this rate we could win tomorrow.

Unlikely, but I like my enthusiasm.

The pack traveled more footsteps, though friend-@blybrook PE was gone and left behind.  The two-leg walkers became odd the deeper they went into the cold, hard wall, cave.  Numbers of others!not pack increased, and yet, became smaller at the same time, huddling together against an unseen enemy.  The words "PPE'' and "weiser" became more prevalent as the search for forage continued. The world seemed to have but a single smell: disinfectant mixed with despair.

@Roarbark was worried.  There were traitors amongst them and, though one had been dealt with, there still remained others.  Woe betide those who attempted further harm to their companions! Though they had but four limbs, and none for grasping the cart, @Roarbark helped as well as they could.  A loaf of bread, gently grasped between sharp teeth. A growl of warning against the nefarious ‘Karens’ who lingered too long in front of the precious spices that made them sneeze.  They abide friend-@SaltySteve wrapping a strange smelling, crinkly cloth around their muzzle, though it dulled their senses, and gently tugged on friend-@LyceeFruit PE when they wandered too close to the dangerous, clean smelling, metal that caused hurts.

But...something seemed wrong.  Though the pack was moving, one lingered on the outskirts.  @Roarbark’s nose wrinkled at the fear!red!hot smell coming from friend-@MEtoEE, tail tucking slightly when they made eye contact by mistake.  Friend-@MEtoEE was slowing the pack down, but didn’t smell sick? Were they tricking? Were they slowing the pack because danger was ahead?

Because @Roarbark was thinking this thought very hard, trying to expand their senses to find a potential no!bad!danger!, they heard the hiss of !bad!nogood!

Without thinking, they spun, fangs bared, lunging at not!friend-@MEtoEE, who had pulled shiny!metal from somewhere!  The crinkly paper across their muzzle ripped easily when their teeth met soft, soft, flesh, canines digging deep into top-leg of not!friend-@MEtoEE!  There was screaming, excitement, @Roarbark closed their eyes to prevent damage when the other top-leg began to bang against their head. When a paw entered their mouth, trying to hook into their cheek to stop, @Roarbark bit deeper.  Do not stop, do not stop, crunch until hot blood covers the tongue, coating their insides, stealing strength from !enemy, bite until not!friend-@MEtoEE stops walking, until not!friend-@MEtoEE stops moving, until the shiny!metal is gone-gone-gone.

A few moments later, when @Roarbark has shaken the now limp not!friend-@MEtoEE to make sure the neck has snapped, shiny!metal sliding across the floor to land at the foot of pack, they pause when friend!@SaltySteve comes closer.  “Bork, bork-bork, bork?” They say, pure nonsense, but @Roarbark has become used to their strange pack.  

Their hackles remain raised for a moment, only relaxing when other friend-@SaltySteve gives them a sausage (they enjoy sausage).  “Bork, bork bork”, they said, gesturing to shiny!metal, “Bork! Bork bork bork!” They flap their strange paw and make a hissing noise from their clenched blunt teeth.

When the rest of pack walks a wide circle around no longer not!friend-@MEtoEE, @Roarbark relaxes.  Something was wrong with no longer not!friend-@MEtoEE and @Roarbark has helped defend the pack.  They are good at being the pack leader.  Their tail untucks because they have killed not!friend and saved pack!

Friend-@LyceeFruit PE places a circle of grass on their head.  Without the crinkle cloth on their face, they smell pretty.

Bravo, that was an awesome read @JayKay PE!

Get em' @Roarbark

The plant did sigh as 'twere left behind, but non-essential were thee.

As fear did span across the land, all within increased anomie!

Our travelers, still, went deeper, 'til, their numbers fell by one;

Alack! this day would start again with the rising of the sun!

Dwindling stores and spanning lines, did cover the Wal of Mart!

Rising rage and twisted mask, weakened the soul and the heart.

All of this the plant did see, upon its abandoned place;

So solely it, did see the deed, when done, completed in this space.

@tj_PE cried, don't hurt me, please! please, don't hurt me, please!

I wish to leave this place again, to once again feel the breeze!

But nothing could stop the thud of fist, encased in steel and pain.

And thus, the body fell, limply stiff, their body split in twain.

Sigh!  The plant echo'd now, for sigh was all it could do!

Dear @tj_PE, stricken there on the ground, to them they bid eheu!

They stretched their leaves to the killer, there!, wishing to help in some way,

But plants do not move, except to sway, so the travelers ignored their display.

@JayKay PE wow, you are good!

[JayKay PE]

@JayKay PE wow, you are good!

HA.  Highly doubtful.  But I wanted to try a poem for dear friend @tj_PE, who tries to tell me my ears are not my only redeeming feature.

 

[DoctorWho-PE]

That was great. I got halfway through before I realized it was the perspective of a wolf with all people. So then I read it again and it was greater.

I'm glad to hear I was not the only one.  Haha!  At first I was like, WTH has @JayKay PE been drinking...and I want some.  Then I realized was just animal thinking.  Excellent write-up!

I'm pretty sure I remember a picture somewhere. You have a lot of lovely features.

Tonight will be a shit-show in meetups.  I only have pineapple cider and cherry moscato.  And I so badly want to celebrate getting through this week of modding.

I am so tired.

WHY IS STAYING HOME SO FECKING EXHAUSTING?

I mean really, I sleep later, have way less time getting ready, get my work done, and do nothing.

Maybe I need to just get off my ass.  (Not having sub 40 degree temps and snow would certainly help with that.)

Lol, I'm not staying home and I'm exhausted, but I think we're made for moving more than staying at home allowed.

I was walking after work for around an hour, just to stretch my legs/listen to my podcast, but crappy weather does make it hard to move.  And I hate working out at home since I'm on the top level right above my landlords.  T_T

Hmm, what can Cheby drink at the call tonight...

Most fermented thing I have is my sourdough starter. Maybe...?
