August 2022 Fiction Contest: The pup in my front lawn
August 28, 2022
The door to my house crept open. The moonlight, shone bright, on the pond on our front lawn. I moved forward with a groan of my shoes. My brown boots, the screeching of leather on wood.
A tiny young pup had jumped off the street. Sat in the middle of the concrete slab, right in front of my eyes. My face stared ahead, as the pup licked and nuzzled its nose. Fearless, around me, like I was his home. I stretched out my hand and pet his nose. He moaned with delight as if it was what he was here for.
