I'm walking up a pristine strip of silver grass, that decorates the gold paven streets. Straight line of 1000 year old trees, shelter me from the excessive sunlight. Too much sunlight annoys me.1
In the sky there are pigs flying in neat rows of threes. Some do an Icarus and fall to the ground, exhausted. Too hot, they turn into well done porkchops, as soon as they hit the gold.2
I'm hungry, really really hungry. Run trying to get to the chops before they get overcooked, but I keep slipping over my saliva. Anyways the dogs get there before me and ravage the chops. They knew how to swim. My friend looked happier. He waved and walked to join me.3
"How are you?"4
"I'm fine today, great day the other day, innit."5
"Top class day! Top quality!"6
"Saw you running after the meat, bad luck mate."7
"If they were chihuahuas, I might have had a chance but against greyhounds, wasn't a matter of luck, it's matter of physiology. "8
"Okay then. Okay, you wierdo."9
"I will eat today, I promise you. I can feel it in my bones."10
"That's all you are mate, you have nothing else to feel with."11
"You overweight, stupid son of a"12
"Oh look."13
There were birds flying on the ground. Ducks, pigeons and eagles, to be exact. Knifes and forks appeared in both our hands, my friend and I chased after them, with relish. Ketchup to be exact.14
"That's just great they decided to fly in the air."15
"No problem, let's go after them."16
"Don't have the energy today mate."17
"Cos you haven't eaten anything that's why, you skinny idiot."18
"If there's anything worse than a skinny idiot, it's a fat one."19
"Why do you say that?"20
"At least a skinny idiots more likely to float away in the wind and leave one less idiot on this planet."21
"Point taken, but at least I ate today."22
"That's true, you know what, what did you eat today?"23
"I ate some well chosen words."24
"Did you find them written on green paper?"25
"Yes."26
"You idiot, you ate my first novel!"27
My friend nodded, rubbed his pot belly, wetted his lips with his tounge, ending the extravagant gesture with an loud smack of the lips and said28
"Wasn't bad for a for a first novel, not bad at all."29

A lot of the story barely makes sense, you can fill it with whatever you like. It would be a lot funnier if they were dogs. An ending inspired by you.
And so the dogs started to fight each other, the skinny one, viciously going for the fat one. The owners struggled to pulled them away, they had no idea of the cause of the disagreement. After all they were happily sniffing each others backsides just a few minutes ago. What goes on in their strange doggy world, they pondered. Well the owners thought, dogs will be dogs, bow wow!

And lots of humor, very funny. good job -

It's 3.30 for me as well, just happy you got some humour out of the piece.

Maybe I should have chosen to read this after a good nights sleep.(it's 3.30am) but I still managed to gleen some of the humour from this piece, so either you are a very talented writer, or I am more awake than I thought I was. Probably the former.

No problem, glad you enjoyed it.
