The Beast

Snow Patrol-Chasing Cars

I gave him some water. He looked at me, howled and started to mount and licked my hand. "Easy boy, easy...", I told him. I pushed the water container towards him but he kept on mounting me. I rubbed his head and stroked his neck to calm him down. He obeyed. I left him there but he followed me from behind. I told him to stay. From my lawn, I saw him drinking from the container. I smiled.

He's been there for three days. Skinny and exhausted. I think he's lost. Or the owner left him there. He still has collar around his neck.

When I got back from a night out with some friends, he's no longer there.
