I Saw Your Ad in the Paper - Flash Fiction

The Seeds That Are Sown:  3

I saw your ad in the paper, you know, the one about your missing dog. You'd just gotten him the other day. What a shame. He looked to be a big brute; certainly not safe around your children. Besides, you left him tied up outside, and that's no way to treat a dog. Or a person. I'll bet you wouldn't like that, would you, to be tied up in a confined space with a choke collar around that slim white neck of yours.

Maybe your nice doggie is in a better place right now.

And if the kiddies miss him, well maybe it's best they learn now that the things which we love have a nasty habit of disappearing into thin air.

  1. Dogs are family members and should get to stay in the house. That's my opinion anyway. Nice piece!

  5. I love animals and hate to see them mistreated,
    There is a lady who lives in the downstairs apartment from me sh has a cat,.....I know cats can look after themselves but she goes away for days on end leaving him out in all wonds and weathers, no food is left out or water, I think it's cruel.

  6. And finally; this part made me check my bullets and go bring my dogs in. No I do not chain them up. This is a great twist on fiction writing Li.

    Hope you have a great weekend. :)

  7. This person gives me the chills. I hope I never mistreat anyone enough to make them want to stalk me like this.

    WoW! You're good!

    The dog tied up outside...shame on the owner.
