Day 12: Sheep

The Prompt: Write from one of David's sheep's POV.

I didn't have much time on the computer today, so this is rather short.  This is probably the worst one I've posted so far.

It's kind of cold out today.  I'm glad I have my wool coat.  Ooo, that tuft of grass looks tasty.  *Munch munch.  Who's that coming over here?  Oh it's David.  He's such a kind master.  I remember when he saved me from a hole in the ground.  I didn't know it was there.  It was hidden in the underbrush.  But David knew where it was.  He goaded me away from it.  I could have broken a leg.  Even his hand feels kind on my back.  It feels strong, yet warm.  He's knows just where to itch me.

Now he's going over to his favorite tree to sit and watch us.  Master normally talks to God or writes down something on his scroll.  See?  I hear him talking to his God now.  He sounds troubled.  He's pacing around too.  I wonder what is bothering him.  Who is Goliath?  I've never heard Master mention that name before.  Now he's walking over to the river.  Getting a drink perhaps?  What's in the water that has caught his attention.  It's...small...stones.  He's pulling them out.  One, two, three, four, five stones.  What could Master want to do with those?

  1. Well that's an interesting prompt. I imagine it would be hard to write for. I mean, what do sheep even think about? I guess they would be pretty simple-minded.
    I don't think you did a bad job.

    1. I had intended to go more in depth with the ideas but didn't have the time. Yeah, I would think they would be simple or absent-minded too, kind of like Dory from Finding Nemo.
