Ahh, fantastic little piece of magic realism! Love the realisation that he can understand the dogs and then raising the stakes, ominous, end-of-the-world vibes. Just missing that Lab image in the post!

Thanks Alexander. Yeah, I’ll try and get him added but with my grasp of these things ...😁

This is why I don't have pets.

Really enjoyed that, Dan! Especially appreciated the lack of explanation.

Thanks Simon

There is something really deep going on here. That intuitive nature animals have. That connection to nature. Telling us of our world and its happenings if we would only pay attention. Well done!

[Daniel O’Donnell]

Thanks Derek

[Michael S. Atkinson]

This was awesome! The buildup and the payoff at the end: very nicely done. Man's best friend, indeed!

[Daniel O’Donnell]

Thanks very much Michael

[James Don BlueWolf]

Original, and a perfect length! Well done. Thanks for posting. :)

[Daniel O’Donnell]

Thanks very much James

[Meg Oolders]

This was fantastic, Daniel.

Great tension. Truly scary. And I loved the role the dogs played in revealing what the humans couldn't sense. Very, very cool stuff!

[Daniel O’Donnell]

Thanks very much Meg

[C. Elyse]

Another great one! I especially liked this paragraph:

That’s when his scrambling mind realised the horror. The land was being consumed. Trees uprooted, torn to splinters and thrown into the air as lightning flashed down through churning, blackened skies. The earth itself torn asunder, houses ripped apart into whirlwinds of shattered stone and scattered to the void. It was coming closer. A wave of devastation creeping towards him. All in complete silence.

Thanks very much Jim. I appreciate that 👍🏼
