Claws and Talons

this looked lonely (:

The carcass set upon the beach had caught the attention of one of the dogs that didn't have a bladder problem. Roadkill noticed the kill upon the beach, and without a second thought she trotted towards it. There was a colourful bird sat there, which reminded Roadkill a little of an equally colourful bird that one of her Owners had had once. The one good one. Shame she hadn't been able to enjoy him a bit longer.

"Shaun! Oy, Shaun!" Roadkill shouted as she approached the carcass. Only when she reached the bird and the carcass did she realise that she had mistaken the colourful bird for that of the forest-Owner. Roadkill halted when she reached the carcass and stared out ahead — she had to look comical, scarred, one-eared and one-eyed as she was — when she realised the strange and silly mistake she had made. Was she losing it?
