These Humans Have Bad Blood

[Spotbowserfido2]

"For you, then, I will kill my first human. Not that this is such an exceptional gift to bestow. A human is nothing special, merely another two-legged creature that bleeds. And as you know, Moon, I have already tasted their blood. You knew about my little escapades in the park even before they were reported in the newspapers: how I mauled a few strollers down by the frozen pond. To confess the truth, it was my intention to finish them off, but for some reason I didn't. Something about the taste of their blood when I opened one of their arms or legs. It is not like the blood of mice, of birds, or even of cats. These humans have bad blood, like some kind of poison, it seems. But that is ridiculous, for blood is blood. Their bodies run with the same singing river that flows in other animals. And I shall drink from it tonight I promise you, Moon."
