Watch out
Step back a bit
If you would
Take minute
Understood
Before you bleed
Fall where you stood
Stain the grass
Understood
Keep away
The gun's out
Pointed at you
What's this all about?
Depends on what you do
Step away
Back up
Give me salute
I need respect
So back away or I'll shoot
The soft scraping of claw against rocky dirt stopped and there was an awkward pause. The wind howled passed the deep, sloping hole in the ground, whistling against the steep edges and playing with the grass around it. The trees and vines that made the Jungle rattled together, as if shivering, seeking shelter from the powerful winds...
Other than that... Silence...
Then a crumbling sort of sound, claws clicking and a watery wet sort of squish... and the silence continued.
Deep down in his den, the creature stared blindly toward his scratched up wall. No, not scratched. each scratch made a character, characters made words, the words made stories. Hundreds of them littered the walls, written in a beast language no human could possibly comprehend...
And the most recent seemed to be giving the Scrunt some trouble...
Growling to himself he shook his head, laying his chin up against the wall and glaring toward the ceiling in deep frustrated thought. He couldn't say understood twice, it made no sense. But what else rhymed with Understood? Snorting, the wolf-like creature went through his mental list of words...
Hood... stood... could... should... would!
Grinning brightly, he went back to the area where he'd erased and re-mudded the wall, scratching at it again with one claw.
Watch out
Step back a bit
If you would
Take minute
Understood
Before you bleed
Fall where you stood
Stain the grass
Understood
Like darkness would
Keep away
The gun's out
Pointed at you
What's this all about?
Depends on what you do
Step away
Back up
Give me salute
I need respect
So back away or I'll shoot
