Duty And Thoughts Of Alisen
A sweep of peach graced the western sky...maybe. Sleep deprived, he couldn’t really be sure. Vision might be compromised, eyes too bloodshot to discern the ambiguous purity of grey dragging the downpour along the horizon.
And the windows were filthy.
Sunday eyed him from the corner, placid gaze sharpening as her head rose from his Nike, quasi-spaghetti dangling from open maw.
He identified with the drool-laden laces.
“Curious passion,” he said, observing the dog...but thinking of Alisen.
Sunday growled, mouthing the trainer, front paws tensed and backside hoisted by her wagging tail. Play and a walk.
Duty called.
