Talking With Dog

This is DOG:

...he may not be what you expected, but, hopefully, not much in the book is either -- Talking With Dog is an adaptation of a screenplay so it reads somewhat different...like a high speed car chase I suppose.

Here's Dog's introduction :





My name is Dog.
I am a simple creature: I eat from a simple carcass. I ask for no more or less. I am good.
I fly your sky. From a height I witnessed the beginning of the end.
In my simplicity I do not profess to know your sciences, your mathematics, your nucleus, atoms and fission.
 From aloft, riding a thermal, I experience the detonation.
My wings are buffeted by the shock waves that precede the wrath.
My body is pummelled.
I close my eyes to the whiteness of the light before I begin to spiral away.
Toward what and where, I do not know.

Only time will tell.
