Hound

Water flows down he rockface and into the pool below, where it carves a bowl of clean stone, then speeds away down the valley behind me. I watch the fish jump from rockpool to rockpool, making their way downward, and twist my hands together in repeating patterns.

I saw the shape of the great dog rise on the horizon and screamed in my mind for overloading images that fill me surround me and flow down with the fish towards me as the paws pad closer and closer and closer and clo-

I open my eyes to those of a curious fish and it speaks to me. I cannot understand it, I never did bother to learn and so it rolls a glassy eye and swims away down the stream. Then down comes the paw into the pool and suddenly I am soaking and the fish is flying and the water is gone and everything is the sound of growling.

I feel an overpowering rush of air and the smell the stench of rotting meat. I resign myself to fate and look up at the open jaws that leave the tongue lolling closer each and every second.
