Yo,ho haul together, hoist the colours high
There he sat, or stood, whichever it was he did. They were all the same and required little to no effort-ah, the life. He had set out to do something, but he foudn he was enjoying not doing anything at all. Yes, it was nice to not have his Mother lurking over him, a constant shadow to everything he did. She meant well, he knew she did, but this was a nice break.
So he was there of course, swatting at flies and little buzzing insects. Most he didn't know the names of, nor had he bothered to learn them. They always seemed to be drawn to his hind end and he hated to think of why that was, nasty little creatures. To survive, to enjoy living off the feces of others..disgusting. They were especially relentless this year, they should have started dying off, but they seemed to be multiplying. He was sure of it. Had they had an especial amount of rain this year, or lack there of? There was sure to be a reason for the over abundance of the little buggers. Anker sighed, chewing his food, unsure of exactly which meal this was for the day. Usually they all ran together with no start or finish, just the way he liked it.
It was then, while he stood deep in thought about his eating habits, that another happened to walk right by. Yes, walked right by him he did, and it took him quite long enough to notice him. Hadn't it? Sure he was still a growing boy, but he wasn't exactly that small either. That wasn't the worst part of the whole ordeal, half being ignored, no there was worse. The splashed man had..had.."Oi, I say..lookit...there you go, gone and smashed it." He looked rather put out, his eyes frantically looking from the smashed thing to the man himself. This man had smashed the perfectly good dandelion that Anker was about to eat. Oh, and he was still so hungry too. He soon stopped his back and forth stares, finally settling again on the flower, or weed. His mouth hung agape, completely at loss of what to do or say now.
