Drips (66 words)

Knitting, she felt a lick
Then a sound of dripping water
She looked around
Started again with her sweater
She felt another lick
Another drip
She looked around
Nothing
Back to knitting
More drips
Once more, she looked
She got up to inspect the sound of water
And found her dog
Dead
Blood dripping into the bathtub
On the mirror it said
“Humans can lick too”
