The Vengeance

The Vengeance There is no war it is all happening on TV, for our entertainment, I look out of the window and see no dead bodies, no blood or bombed buildings, or soldiers prancing about, except Pedro coming back after hunting rabbits. He hates rabbits since one chased him and bit his bum, he was twelve at the time but the indignity made him malicious. He hunts rabbits in the morning, they hear him come and hide in burrows, except for the unwise that think they can make play hide and seek with him. Pedro is a crack shot and at times bag one, which is good for us, had he always missed his hatred may have grown to include us and the war would move from the TV screen on to our street.
