As the unaware cattle grazed in the long grass, dust started to rise from behind the hill. Qr4s7c was standing a short distance away from the gate. The source of the rising dust became known as the long truck rose over the hill. When it reached the gate, Qr4s7c stepped back towards the other cattle. This dreadful intruder has a presence. A bad presence.
When two tall figures emerged from the front of the truck, a shattering 'crack' rippled through the air. Qr4s7c and the other cattle ran back, away from the noise, but then another huge 'crack' sounded from behind them and they had no choice but to move forward again, towards the massive invader. This continued until all the cattle, including Qr4s7c were in the back of the vehicle. For what seemed like forever, the truck bumped along the road. There wasn't a moment when Qr4s7c wasn't being trampled by the other cows.
The truck stopped bumping, the back opened and another 'crack' sounded.

In a dark, cold shed, the farmers tied the next cow's legs together, hung it upside down,slit it's throat. one of the farmers checked the cows ear and placed a tick in the box next to Qr4s7c.

As the uncaring, greedy human, 10000 miles away, clicked "ADD TO CART" next to the picture of the luxurious leather lounge...
OMG this is the worst story in history! It's about a cow! God dammit, somebody has coloured in the letters on my keyboard.
ReplyDeleteis this part of the reason your a vegetarian? Or is that a bit of an obvious question. Good story, short and to the point.
ReplyDeleteI like this, at first I thought it was about aliens but then I realised it was a cow. I like this a lot.

I think that you did beat me in the story-writing battle.
I feel so sorry for Buttercup the cow.
And I feel guitly for using eBay... to buy lounges... :)
I too like this story very much. At first I thought it was about a group of kids and the injustice was that the kids' parents gave him an awful name. But I understand now and I'm so jealous that I can't think up such a good appropriate story.
