A Boy and His Dog (flash fiction from IO9)

“When I was a kid, you had to be careful when the battery went flat. Several million tons of metal falling from the sky at high velocity is deadly. But kids manage to find the humour in any situation.

You could hear them shouting from miles off into the distance ‘Big Dogs! Landing On My Face!‘ It always made me laugh. Until it almost happened to me. It’s not a laughing matter.”
