Dogs of the Night

    by: Zoo Duck
Around midnight, the neighborhood was still and quiet and a quick breeze was rustling the white plastic trash bags that Bill had stored his grass clippings in. The bags sat together rather unimportantly and without event until a group of neighborhood dogs came down the street, wandering from side to side, checking out the trash cans in front of each house until they came to Bill's house. They stopped and nosed the bags, sniffing and snorting, sometimes even sneezing. They continued, slowly at first, then with more enthusiasm they began whining and pawing at the bags until they had split them open, one by one.

Throughout the night, the wind picked up Bill's clippings and scattered them around the street, into his own yard and his neighbors yards, and into the gutters and culverts. By the time the sun peeked over the tops of the trees the next morning, the wind had dispersed Bill's grass clippings throughout the entire neighborhood and beyond.
