It was winter of 2008; there’s been a small scrubland beside
our home. One morning I went to terrace for just to take a surround view as a
curious child, I looked down to the land I saw there are four newborn puppies
in a bush den having their milk breakfast, their mother looks very weak and
exhausted like last night she gave birth. Puppies are too small to move they
were just trembling around and whole scenario just allures me, much probably
because of the innocence I saw there.
It was around one and a half kattha land surrounded by the
large 7 feet walls, somehow the mother dog manages to get out for food hunt but
she rarely comes home, I used to feed the puppies mostly in morning time some
days, rest of the time I was busy in social distractions like anyone, but I
liked to watch them playing and learning their pack lessons by themselves.
Among those four little grown puppies one was looking very
weak like he stops growing and this brothers started bullying him they bite and
he screams, it was every day and night show but suddenly one day that little
guy stops crying, I felt some change in ambiance when I came from school one
afternoon, my curiosity made me to go inside the filed and took a look, scene
was so devastating, three were eating that small one’s intestines, their face
were red, they stopped and all three starts staring at me with same innocence that
I see every day in their eyes, like they doesn’t know what’s happening and I am
sure they doesn’t. I was the time when I learned by myself the Darwin’s survival of
fittest.
Days pasts I got little offended by the scene I saw there so,
I became little evasive and moved my
attention to other social worthy things but
my spirit of inquiry drags me again towards them, they were little grown one
was looking very fit and fluffy, another was in good shape but there was only
two, there’s no sign of third one, then my ancestral instinct ran and I got to
realize, yaah! they eat it again.
"It was same as in 1972 Andes Plane crash when survivors
had to eat dead bodies of their friends to survive, there’s no difference until
they were rescued, and even humans can do this but they were just animals who
had never seen outside the wall."
After many days I went for last watch and there is no movement
in field it was quite, I don’t know what happened next, probability the
strongest one ate his last brother and have gain enough energy to take last
leap across the wall😶.
HAPPY ENDING..
