Eerie Indiana Drabble: Game Night

[froodle]

The centre of the large room was taken up by an enormous pile of bones, long stripped of their last vestige of meat and now pockmarked along the long axis by dozens of sets of canine teeth.

Around it sat the bulk of Eerie's canine population, ears up, tongues lolling, watching as a smaller group played a game of spillikins with the thighbones of various dogcatchers, cat lovers, and those children who had avoided death by milk-truck long enough to find themselves at the non-existent mercy of Fifi and her compatriots.

All tails thumped in anticipation, and the game progressed.
