entered, munching a blueberry bagel. It was like telepathy. He stared at me through the caked blood paint and I looked back. We remained like that for a good couple of minutes then

My pet dingo was hunting squirrels and brought me one for dinner. I cooked it and shared it with Dingo under the eucalyptus tree in the bush. Veruca Salt was vegetarian, so she
liberally seasoned her potatoes and roasted them over the open fire. The scent of eucalyptus mingled with smoke, making us feel heady. Dingo, Veruca, and I curled up

We crept out of the hut as the Dingo slept. Dawn was just beginning to break. The light was golden on her face, and suddenly I knew that she would no longer be a stranger to me.
