Fresh snow crunched beneath Luke’s boots on his unsteady circuit around the yard. Suddenly, the ground gave way, and he tumbled forward plunging his hands into the powder. Cold shot through his arms, and as he struggled to stand tears welled up.

“No more lies, I swear, we went to Jimmy’s, got bored playing poker and went to the pub for a drink. What’s the big deal?”

Tommy held the lifeless creature in his hands. His eyes lit up as he bit off its head. It’s always fun to remove the appendages first then devour the body. He took a swig of milk to wash it down.
