Bones

(found a gigantic bone that the dogs dragged home. *Obviously* a cow bone)

“What have you brought home?” she asked her enormous dog. He wagged his tail and dropped the bone on her foot. It was huge. “Son of a…is that a dinosaur bone?” she laughed. Of course it wasn’t.

She gave the dog his bone and peered into the sky. Sometimes she was sure she could see shadows beyond the clouds, but that was just silly.

Far above, above the trees and the clouds and the atmosphere, the giant glared at his daughter. “How many times have I told you to stop dropping your dinosaur bones into the Earth terrarium?”

“Sorry, dad.”
