# A Paying Gig (Otherwise Untitled) Author: Moriar Tags: Fennec, Microfiction, Wolf, hunger, potatoes #168 of Short Stories A wolf listens to a job offer from a fennec, over potatoes. ~     The wolf gazed down at the table laid out between himself and the fennec. A bowl of what looked to be baked potatoes to one side, a jar of apple butter to spread on them in the other. Several shakers of seasoning, flavors he'd want to try even without the pangs in his belly. ~     Glancing up to the fennec, "..and this job you say. No one needs to die?" ~     The fennec slid a plate towards the wolf, a fork resting across the empty of it. ~     "None that'll know you're the who what done it.", adding a knife to rest alongside. ~     After a moment that felt all the longer for his hunger, the wolf nodded meekly as he took up the fork and knife.
