Even an offer of popcorn could not mitigate the great distress at the privation that was inflicted upon him.

While clearing the table, I finished his last bite of lunch —
a small spoonful of rice and veggies.

A pteradactyl swooped down from the sky.
The terrifying dinosaur was befuddled.
Its head was stuck in an ice cream cone.

An Auspicious Beginning,
A turbulent End.
