DOG-BITE 1

By

CK

The first thing I feel is the hot breath on my left calf. That's when and how I know that something bad is about to happen.You see the dog didn't bark, it rushed at (me first) and that soft grass silenced the sound of it's paws. The next thing I felt was the teeth.

They didn't cut into my flesh on the first bite, the tore into my pants and I panicked. Jacob swung the flashlight down and we saw the fur glistening. At first I couldn't figure out what it was. I all I saw was this dark brown hairy mass getting it's footing and twisting itself to come in for that next bite.

I thought about every kind of biting mammal, AIDS, rabies, death, limb-loss, blood-loss, in that first micro-second.

Jacob was screaming.

"Holy Fuck! What the fuck! Oh shit!"

Oh these panicky Americans. The next bite cut into my calf and I was screaming too. Funny how you forget all your other problems when a large dog is tearing you apart.
