The Dinosaur Daughter

|1:00|I heard noises far off in the distance. I thought it was him. I was finally going to meet him--my father. He appeared behind a tall bundle of Everest trees; I walked towards him, showing no kind of emotion out of fear that I will give my fathers whereabouts away.
"Father," I called.
Leeteuk emerged out from behind the trees and greeted me with a gentle roar. That was the signal for me to transform and leave my human body for the rest of the night. I now took the figure of a dinosaur.
"Alice, I have much to show you," he said.
"Father, will  mother be joining us?"
Leeteuk fell silent. "Your mother does not know how to close her legs, so BoA will not be here."
I knew what my father meant, so I made sure never to bring her up again. Unlike my father, I was not a full blooded dinosaur, so I only had one second left till my transformation wore off, and it did. I was now an ordinary human figure. My father hated that I could not keep my form long enough, but he soon grew use to it and this time gave me a growl instead of lecture of not trying hard enough.
"Father, I must go. People are coming," I warned.
Leeteuk nodded and I quickly left. A pick-up truck drove past, then  the driver honked the horn.
"Is that yo daday?"
 I ignored the man; he was obviously southern and his English sounded funny.
"I said," he began, " Is that YO daday?"
This time I turned around; the driver was a middle age white man.
"No, he's not," I replied, annoyed.
My father heard what I said, but took no offense to it for he knew that I had to play a normal life as a human.
"Then why's he damn t'all?"
Then man was drunk, and must have believed that Leeuek was human. ( Even drunk people should know the difference between a tall ass, dinosaur and a puny, human.)
"Just drive off old man, nothing concerns you," I replied.
"Why you little..!"  The man jumped out of the car, ready to strike. 
My father was about to reemerge from the trees, but I assured that I could handle this drunken-bastard.
I pulled out a gun, and shot the man in the head.
"Where should I take him father?"
Leetuek bowed his head, and wanted me to follow.  I dragged the dead body to the woods and dropped him where my father told me. As a scientist, I had to be careful of what type of trouble I got into. So, I immediately left once I brought the body to its destination.
My father gave me an O.K. look and left. I waved him off and walked back acting as if nothing happened.
|2:45 a.m.|
I sat back at my desk, thinking of what the future will hold for me. I know that someday I will leave this life behind for good and join my father. Once again, I waited patiently for him to return.
I knew he was coming, I just did not know when...

  1. Nice story, Juice. Love how you use combination of human and dinosaur. Very cool though.
