Stupid Prizes

Early morning, dark, everything just crawling out of its filth. This asshole, out of nowhere, takes a cheap shot at Dog, just some half-wit kicking at anything that breathes. Dog jumps back, knowing better than to get tangled with human garbage.

The guy, though, puts all his weight into it like he is trying to punish the world for his miserable existence, misses Dog, loses his footing, and the idiot goes down hard, head bouncing off the sidewalk like a cracked egg. Blood oozing out slowly.

And Dog? It barely gives a fuck, sniffs him the asshole, thinking, “You ain’t worth the piss,” and trots off. No rush, no care. Dog is the smartest one in the whole mess.

Me? I just watched this useless meat sack of bones leak onto the pavement. I drove on as I did not feel like wasting my time on a waste of skin.

Sometimes, you fuck with life–it’ll fuck you right back, leaving you bleeding out on the street while the world moves on without you.
