What a mess said the first shepherd.
You're right said the second, I think that was the last wolf pack in the land.
Really.
Yes.
Mmm.
Our environmentally friendly status is gone for certain.
Maybe.
Will you replace the red and blue flocks with your insurance payout?
No, I never liked either. I'm thinking of that new purple hybrid of the two. And you?
I think I'll go back to hunting people. There are more of them and the pay is better. I can't decide between South America and Africa. Maybe Africa, this time with those new oilfields opening up.
I hear wolves are good eating. Let's not waste these, the last in the land.
They roasted the largest over an open campfire that night.
They both agreed it beat eating red or blue sheep. The meat was tougher, not at all juicy, with a sinewy texture. Its wildness seemed to give new resolve to the two men. They saw their future more clearly. It would be wild, uncluttered, dangerous, uncertain and new.
