Coyotes and Corgis
I wake up and I see that it is 11:14 but I can't tell if that is AM or PM. I turn the light on and look around the room. There's a small coyote dog in my room. It looks like a mix between a corgi and a coyote. It looks like a wild dog with short legs and mange. It bites into the knuckle of the middle finger on my right hand. I grab its muzzle with my left hand and grab its jaw with the rest of my right hand and pull it off my knuckle. I twist so that its jaw breaks. Its face looks goofy and sort of pathetic. It runs off. I look at my hand and aside from a little tightness in the knuckle my hand is fine. The thing didn't even break the skin. I get up and look for some slippers but I realize that there are none that fit me. I think about how I had allowed some guests to sleep over. Perhaps it was the morning then since no one is sleeping over now. I get out to the living room checking the hall bathroom to make sure that the thing hadn't run in there. I see it walking around the living room. There is sunlight and it looks like early morning. I go to the front door and the coyote seems to know what I am doing. I open the door and it just runs right outside. My mother is there I guess she saw me let the coyote out. I tell her that they are vermin. And I tell her that I often find one or two of them in the house when I wake up in the middle of the night. She asks me what I do when I find them. So I tell her quite casually that I either kill them or break their jaw depending on my mood.
