"Do their faces look like wolves or like us?" It was my turn to jump in and say something. "Are we talking werewolf style face... or bigfoot humanesque face?"
We all exchanged glances.
"Everything is hearsay. No one has gotten close enough to tell for sure." Samantha took a bite of her sandwich, clearly still thinking.
AnARROOOOOOsounded somewhere outside, and our heads whipped toward the window facing the sound. It was clearly one of the aforementioned creatures, and it seemed closer than ever. Uproarious laughter sounded throughout the mess hall as heads swiveled toward our table, all eyes on me.
"Hey dog toy, go fetch!" someone yelled out.
Being laughed at?That'salways tons of fun.
I sighed and stared off in the direction of the noise. I braced myself and stood, straightening my clothes and picking up my tray.
"Well, lunch was passably edible, and it was very nice meeting you all. It seems I may have an appointment I was previously unaware of." We all glanced towards the window facing the section of housing I lived in.
"You should wait for Dayzee. We don't know enough about these beings," Samantha voiced her concern.
"Do you want us to go with? We can walk you back to your bungalow. Safety in numbers." Regina stood and reached for her tray, looking determined.
I shook my head. "I don't think this can wait any more. It sounds like they are nearby. I don't want anything to happen to you guys either. Do me a favor and check on me later? If anything happens to me, please let Dayzee know A.S.A.P." They all nodded.
Another shorter series of yipping howls sounded from the area of my bungalow.
"Sounds like the werewolf Avon lady has a delivery for you!" Some guy stood and pretended to hump his friend while howling at the ceiling. All his buddies laughed. Yes, because that was justsofunny. Ha. Ha ha.
"I'll make sure and save a lipstick sample for you." I made kissy lips at him.
Sarcasm was my superpower, but I tried not to use it too often. Big mouths can cause big problems and I was mouthy by nature.
A sampling of throaty barks in varying tones sounded outside as I dropped off my tray and moved toward the door. Were they calling out to someone? Were they communicating to each other? What the hell was really going on outside and how was everyone so oblivious?
I stood up straight, flung the door open, and headed towards the sounds.
No matter what, this was about to get interesting.
Chapter 6
Gr’ruuf
She did not return yet. Her scent leads to the large closed place with many smells. I think this is where they have foods. It smells like it could be food, but I am unsure.
I did not see any other container beings nearby, so I examined the gift that was left for her. I sniffed it. It was not dead or alive. But it was contained in a half-shell and left for her. Was this food? I think this is their food. This must be what the container people eat.
Why were they trying to feed my mate? Did they think I could not provide for her?!
I was outraged.
I called out for her, using different tones, hoping she would hear me and come quickly. I was very upset!
I was sure she heard me and will come to me soon.
I sniffed the container again. Their food does not seem appealing the way ours is. I can show her I can do better than them. I still have time!

One of these pricks left dog food at my door. I came home to a goddamn bowl of Kibbles and Bits.
