Oh, my, my, you're oh so sly. ___ Mel and her Gabriel. Let's leave unsaid what's left unspoken. ___ As the day slowly began to fade away, colours in the sky changing and dimming, much of the day was only beginning for Hybrid. He had slept his way through the day, lazily retiring to his den in the afternoon to enjoy a rabbit he had caught only moments prior. One thing led to another, and before he knew it, he was fast asleep. He had awoken just as the sun's rays penetrated the opening in his den, exposing him to the last breath of light. Surprised at the time of day, Hybrid had stretched, moving more like a feline than canine, and headed out to the water's edge. He spent a good ten minutes sitting on the sand as the waves lapped at his paws, unmoving, unblinking. He did not contemplate anything, did not think at all, but simply watched the sky. It did not sound intellectually stimulating, but being able to clear his mind for that period of time had somehow made him feel much better. It was almost as good as killing a wolf, or better yet, a few wolves. ___ Hybrid remained there until finally deciding to move, standing up and shaking his fur to rid it of the sand that still clung to him. He took a few steps towards the ocean, wetting his paws, and then part of his front legs. He dipped his head in the water, giving it a jerk to rid his fur of the blood from the rabbit. He resurfaced, shaking his fur again. He moved slowly, walking through the water, watching as he disturbed the sand, creating clouds of smoke in the water. He shook his head again, leaving the water and trotting onto drier land. He sat down again, this time sitting with his back to the ocean. Again, he remained there, motionless and silent. Like he were waiting for something that would never arrive. |
