A Stranger Occurrence, I have yet to have.

Tweet

My brow creased in fear and yet a state of being perplexed. I wasn't quite sure what I was staring at, even as I knew exactly what it was that lay before my eyes. Two grey and scrawny creatures with pointy ears like those of a dogs, and expressions of curiosity and hunger etched across their face. If it weren't for the cocking of their heads, I'd be more afraid. The fact remains that I should have been more afraid, and yet I was as curious of these creatures as they were of me. They sat in obedience even as their front paws itched at the ground, ready to strike. A better contradictory pose, I could not think of. I looked up from where I stood, my hand upon the door. The skies outside were nearly as grey as these creatures pelts, but with a streak of blue that denoted a brighter sky was to come. I looked back down at these creatures, and that is when I heard it. "Let them in." She said. I couldn't though, and wouldn't. These creatures weren't to be trusted, even if the hunger I saw in their eyes moved me. "I can't, Mom." I replied. "Don't you see these are coyotes?" "They are harmless, nonethelesss." She atoned. It was with these words the beasts made to strike. Almost as if their alleged tameness was an affront against them. I barely closed the door in time. Even so my back lay against it, my breath heavy in my chest as I leaned with my hands splayed on the cool surface of the door. "No, Mom. I won't be letting these creatures in." She harumphed. **This is my own work of fiction, though based heavily on a dream I had last night. I gave it a bit of a flair, and left out some of the more scintilating details of the dream.**
