People Mill

A flash fiction piece I wrote for an online publication.

 

She walks down the sodden aisle, wrinkling her muzzle at the smell.

To butch: “Such a shame they are treated like this.”

He grunts and continues writing on his notepad, “no worse than what they did to them.” He points and looks down at the canine trotting beside him, which looks like a small four legged version of himself..

“Do you suppose they know what will happen to them?”

Butch looks at the humans in the cramped little cages, “I hope they do.”

The man in the cage looks at the bi-pedal, dog-like alien, and wonders if he gets out of this, would he ever be able to look at another dog again?

Next: EUTHANASIA

Author's Note

The flash fiction pieces had to be 110 words or less and tell a story.
