The moose is quiet as the kids count extensions on his two horns.
The living room is not familiar terrain, and he is biding time in alien territory. The television screen shows scenes of human brutality, and that has probably quietened him down … as if he is in a simulation, watching the animal nature of humans rise to unprecedented heights.
He will need those horn extensions to combat multiple levels of in-humanity.
Right now, things look cool – these kids are just curious. Maybe, he can rest here till they grow up – products of a culture that glorifies violence.

You put a lot into those 99 words, Reena. I still hold onto hope, but I’m thinking the animal nature of humans has surpassed our wild animal friends. Hopefully the moose is able to rest and get somewhere safe.
