#169 of Short Stories

A kobold regards her present and future.

~     The kobold settled into her seat at the dining table, a pot of soup steaming at the center of it. She regarded the table's contents; beyond the pot and ladel were merely her bowl and spoon.  
~     The wider house creaked softly, as wind and night fell around it.  
~     She sighed softly, dinner's preparations without complication and consensus.  
~     The soup was hot.  
~     In the calm solitude, decisions were quick and effort was light. The kobold picked up her spoon to regard the kink in the handle of it.  
~     As she ladled a serving into her bowl, the kobold mumbled plans softly to herself for what to meal to celebrate the fox's return.
