Drabble 5
Utopia
Gunshots, screams, and an ever present stench of burning coal and smoke. This is what Crabfang was used to. He stayed at his post, right outside the housing complex that served as the base for the House of the Rising Sun.
Spark and Tawny carried a stretcher with a corpse on it into one of the houses, and Crabfang stayed his post.
A motor carriage loaded up with creatures pulled in and fired with their weapons upon the complex, and Crabfang left his post.
More gunshots rang out,
And he returned to his post. The feral cat lit a cigarette with shaking paws as the snow beat down around him, and the gunshots and screams continued.
After a week in the elements, his watch was done. Tawny brought him a flask of steaming liquid, and the Crabfang guzzled it down like it was the last water in all the lands.
Two years later, Tawny was shot twice, and thrown out of the complex with an axe crossing his bright blue then did crabfang collect a stretcher, his friend's corpse, and set off to Fort Skull, leaving that post behind.
