It's a wiley creature, almost always traveling in pairs and working in seamless harmony. Strangely, it is also for some reason usually attached to a larger beast, tagging along like some apparently harmless parasite, there for the ride and occasionally actually contributing something useful.
On selected days, they are hunted. Yesterday was one such day.
The hunt began innocuously, the hunter creeping cautiously around the corner, exploring every hidden nook and cranny in search of the silent threat.
Suddenly, it appeared in a flash. The hunter, as is custom, appealed to the creature to surrender and submit without a fight, knowing that this was ever so unlikely.
"PoliceStopPutTheGunDownNow!"
Seeing continued resistance, the hunter stroked the trigger of his highly tuned weapon, the muzzle barking as a projectile screamed towards the prey.
POP!
The creature flinched at the impact. The larger beast on which it was riding growled in indignation.
"Owww! Dammit!"
Just as suddenly as it had started, the hunt was over, as an unseen voice instructed the hunter to desist.
Over as well was the day of the wiley creature, as it skulked off to the corner. A fascinating creature, this thing, this monster....this elbow.
