But her Anna would never find a man as good as the one she’d left behind.
---
The last vehicle left, scattering dirt and dust into the air as it traveled down the narrow road. From its territory in the pond, the glowing eyes watched in silence, taking note of everything that happened in its domain.
As the dust settled and the crickets resumed their chirping and the bullfrogs began croaking, the alligator moved suddenly, sending waves across the water as it made a single powerful thrust with its tail and propelled itself upon the bank of the pond. Its dark, rough hide glistened in the moonlight as the water ran from its skin.
Once again, it was the lone predator in its domain, and its prehistoric lizard brain liked it that way.
