“Can you tell us what happened here today?”

Well, I was late to the party. Herds came from everywhere.

Apparently the humans had been here in droves early in the day.

They’d camped for hours, set some campfires, laughed and sang.

They’d cooked up some food – we could smell it for miles.

It’s why we all stampeded out here in the first place.

There were holes in the ice – how men catch their dinner. Fish, you know.

There were these huge barrel things, leaking brown water.

When the men left, the herds converged – looking for leftovers.

And man, they feasted. There were guts everywhere, and fresh fish kept jumping out of the holes.

But the strange thing is what happened to them that drank that liquid.

They came over all weird like and began mooing and swaying.

Some fell over, and then others fell over them, and then they were all braying.

And some fell into the holes – well their legs did, and they broke.

It was mad crazy and like, I’m glad I got here last in the end because I’ve got a family at home.

If I’d broken something, I’d never be able to hunt. And I’d never escape the hunters.

My wife would kill me too.

I’ve never seen anything like it.

I had mentors in that herd, and they had lost all self-control.

Terrible.

“Well, thanks buddy. That’s eye-opening news right there.

“Who’d want to be a human anyway, hey?” [244 words, 6 minutes]
