Arial's thoughts on Valentine's Day (A Panthan's Abyss Snip)
Winter sucked here. It was too cold to wander for long outside and the humans didn’t celebrate Mardi Gras. So there were no festive decorations to admire. Correction. There was that one with all the hearts hanging about. At least, that’s what the TV said the shape was, though it looked more like a butt turned up in the air to Arial.
Whatever though. It was a celebration of love. The whole thing was totally lost on her. Most of the celebrations were. Still, she liked to observe and pretend she could be part of it.
She’d hoped for maybe a parade, but mostly it was just hearts and balloons in the store windows. Roth had given her some chocolate in a butt shaped box. She’d liked that. Each time she bit into a brown square something new and different was in the center. Though the irony of biting into brown squares that came out of a butt shaped box was not lost on her. For sure.
