The Arrogant
“This is the place…no one will know….let’s dig here and bury it.” said Taby.
Beny didn’t answer … he was busy with his boat.
“Come here…..we don’t have all the time…”
“You are a fool…why did you pelt a rock…killing the ….”
“Not another word,” shrieked Taby; he was already regretting his folly.
Beny smiled; the boat was finally afloat.
Taby furiously dug a small pit and, with trembling hand, buried the
dead.
“I wish I had missed the mark.”
“You are arrogant…..always pelting rocks at little birds. This time I
will tell mama……”
Next moment Beny was in the water…… screeching like hell.

You can push a killer too far
ReplyDeleteThanks
DeleteI had to read this several times because I wasn't sure who was speaking at times. But then I worked it out. A killer is possibly more likely to have a short fuse and a fatal breaking point than most and it seems Taby has. Jilly, Sugar on the Bee.
ReplyDeletewell, i thought of a story of two little naughty brothers;the elder one liked pelting stones at the birds. one day he actually killed a little bird.
Deletethanks for reading the story.
I think Taby might be heading for worse in the future... unless he face up to his arrogance.
ReplyDeleteWell, it sounds like he's learned his lesson and that's the last time he will throw a stone at a bird. Good take on the photo prompt. :)
ReplyDeleteDear Arora,
ReplyDeleteWhat goes around comes around, they say. Hopefully Beny has learned his lesson.
Shalom,
Rochelle
