Three Dog Night

Three Dog Night

A Chapter by Cherrie
"

fast food is never simple

The forest terrain quickly changed to rolling hills of grass. Being here felt wrong. They both missed the red canyon layered with scrub-brush, sage, and pines. Ella and Jack rested on a shady hillside. The skin under Ella’s neck was injured, Jack nestled up close to give her comfort, as they recovered from their battle with Brutus. The two young wolves were now and forever imprint. A bond that will last a lifetime. 


Soon an unfamiliar sound woke them from their rest. They continued to the hilltop and studied a strange group of baaing fluff. The smell of the little herd made them lick their chops. Keen ears stood straight, and the pinpoint eyes of killers searched for a weak link. The little lambs bedded down for the night, unaware of the danger.


Sly predators quietly watched downwind, creeping ever closer. The smorgasbord of white was one leap away when three large Pyrenees dogs lifted their heads.

Rough, loud barks filled the air. Then the old shepherd sleeping among the sheep rose and fired off a shot. The bullet landed between them kicking up a patch of dirt, it’s hot-peppery smell would forever be linked with the sight of man, and they began to run.


“Kill’em!” the old man howled, firing another shot. Baaing sheep loudly cried, and the dogs were barking with each advancing stride. 


The two retreated for higher ground. Thru the woods, to the canyon, where they met, they would run. The three angry dogs hot on their steps. A trumpeting horn rang out and just like that the dogs broke-off the chase and Ella and Jack began the search for something else to eat.

I have loved reading this co-write . . . did you say daughter or granddaughter? I was wondering how old she is? How do you co-write together? Will you be continuing this? Just curious! Your stories truly transport me to the dynamic scenes you describe! (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

She's 11. I make her pick the location for each chapter. The mood, the goal, and the outcome.
