The couple was arguing about the flood.
It wouldn’t have been so urgent, but their house was at
the bottom of the hill.
They blamed each other for the flood, since lately,
everything had turned them against each other. Neither one could remember how
long it had been since they’d loved each other, and they blamed each other for
that, too.
Eventually, the water filled the house, and the yelling
turned to gurgling, and then stopped.
A small dog wearing mis-matched boots sat sadly on the
porch roof, watching a tiny spider bob up and down from a tree branch.
