That's All I Have to Say for Now: A Book of Snippets [Random Updates]

98. It's Natural!

A walk through the park isn't a walk through the park.

There, along the cracks of the path is an ant. A warrior sworn to protect its queen till its last breath or an escapee from the local mad scientist's mutation lab.

And there, perched on the bare branch is a small bird. Alone in the tree, despondent about missing the departure of its flock for the winter, never part of the group. Or perhaps it ditched the flock as soon as it could, for freedom was its ultimate goal.

What about over there? That stray cat slinking into the bush. Could it be a rebel shape-shifter, hiding, waiting for the right time to pounce in front of me and reveal a world of magic?

Or could the ant be a tracker and the bird a spy, both working under the employ of an immortal trapped for eons in the body of a cat?

A walk through the park is hardly ever just a walk through the park for this here writer.
