Bounty

At least a dozen rugs were laid out as families picnicked a cross the park.

The late afternoon sun was still warm and the scene was idyllic. This, he thought, was a typical event during the summer. Apart from kids running around, kicking balls and playing chase, picnic blankets were covered with food and drink. There seemed to be so much food; pieces of cold chicken, cheese, ham, sandwiches… it just went on. Plastic containers were opened and flasks of hot drinks were poured into cups. He looked on, enjoying the view with no intention of joining in. It was his place to no more than watch the activities. After all this was his place of residence and all these others were visitors.

Finally, the day began to fade. He kept watch as, one by one, the visitors packed up and moved off. He noticed with interest where blankets were shaken.

He too would enjoy the bounty.

He would soon swoop down and enjoy the pickings.
