Ch.1: Silhouette of a tragedy
In the outskirts of a town called Nowhere Kansas, there was a small house; there lived a dog family, a mother, a father, and a small pink puppy.
The puppy and his father were playing with a beach ball, when the puppy was hit with the ball, he began to cry.
"Honey you have catch the ball." His mother said, she tossed him the ball and when he caught it he began to laugh. After a few tosses between the puppy and his father, the phone started to ring.
"Oh, I'll get it." The puppy's father rushed inside and his mother followed, the beach ball dropped and instantly struck the poor puppy into the metal fence surrounding his house, he tried desperately to free himself, but he was not strong enough to pull himself out, then he cried out in fear for his parents.
They rushed out when they herd the crying, scared for their son's safety, they tried to pull him out, but it was no use.
"What are we going to do?"
"We'll have to take him to the vet, they'll know what to do."
When they finally made it to the vet, the veterinarian used a nail filler to saw off the fence, a few minutes was all it took for the fence to finally come off.
"There you go, you be more careful now."
The puppy ran around and was happy to be free, but then the veterinarian stared at the puppy's parents.
"Can I speak with you two…alone?"
Dr. Teenytodd gave the puppy a big lollypop; with joy he took it and began licking it without second thought.
"Right this way."
They walked out the door and down a long dark hallway.
"Soon, the world will remember my brilliant work!" The mad doctor said in his head.
As the puppy was licking his lollypop, he herd cries for help, the curious puppy rushed by the door to see what was going on, to his horror he saw the doctor walk away, with his parents in a net, the little puppy screamed in terror and ran after him.
"Stop, let us go!" The puppy's father yelled.
"Silence, I'm only doing my job, besides you'll be much happier breeding in space."
He was stunned "S-space?
They entered a laboratory-like room with a huge rocket in the middle.
"Wa-what are you going to do?" The puppy's mother stammered.
"Just do as I say, this is for your own good." He shoved them in the rocket.
The young puppy made it to the room, and shrieked in pure fear.
"Huh, oh, I almost forgot you little one."
Dr. Teenytodd set the launch to 60 sec, then he began to chase the puppy down, they ran around the rocket, with every passing the puppy tried to set his parents free but the doctor prevented him, to finally escape, the puppy jumped down the garbage chute and ended up in the outside ally.
Then the puppy herd the raging sound of an explosion, he looked up to see that the rocket had taken off…with his parents in it. Tears formed in his eyes as he waved good-bye forever, then he broke down and cried, not in fear but in pain, a deep pain.
"Oh dear, what are you doing here all alone, what courage you have." A woman came and picked him up, and then he felt safe, salvation.
"Would you like to come home with me?" The puppy wiped away a tear and smiled. "My names Muriel, we'll have a swell time."
They walked toward an old junk looking truck, with a gruff looking man inside, but before they could get near, total darkness surrounded him, he looked franticly but could not find the woman anywhere, moments later he herd a gunshot and the only thing he could remember was the sound of his own screams.
Courage woke from his dream.
He looked and was relieved to see that Muriel was alright, the thought of loosing her always haunted him, she was the only person he had left and he could not bear the thought of it, but he always knew nothing would happen to her, nothing would take her away from him.
