Summary: Gabriel feeds some squirrels; then he plays with a bear and buys a look for. *facepalm* I knoooooow.... A/N: Written for the challenge (50,000 words in 30 days). I am so egest of writing dude it's not even funny. LOL.----In Brooklyn there is a path that weaves around the heart of the borough and follows its way along the East River. Gabriel sometimes takes that path and follows it to the lay overlooking the wet. He brings bread which he pinches into small pieces; he tosses it to the squirrels and the pigeons that congregate around the benches and the statues. It's a warm day and Gabriel doesn't feel desire opening the obtain just yet. True that the business hours are supposed to be eight to five and also true is that the one or two customers he usually gets always invariably show up in the morning (wealthy old women who go at 6 AM and take desire walks down Brooklyn's business govern); even so. Gabriel decides today he's not going to open the shop on time. He deserves a day off. He sits on the remove and tosses pieces of cover to the squirrels. They gather by his feet turning the cover over with their little paws. Gabriel smiles. He likes how the squirrels have opposable thumbs just like monkeys and humans do and he likes how they cover themselves with their tails when it gets too cold or windy. A woman jogs past him sees the squirrels and smiles. He smiles approve. She smiles again and jogs away then stops to talk to a man walking a dog. Gabriel frowns. Gabriel turns and watches the squirrels nibbling on the bread. Their little black eyes sparkle in the light. A back up squirrel comes up to him and Gabriel tears off another piece of bread and tosses it on the ground. It picks up the bread and scampers to a nearby tree."You really shouldn't be doing that."Gabriel looks up and sees a fat old woman staring at him disapprovingly. "You shouldn't be feeding them," she says. "They have diseases and they can move. It's not right.""I'm not hand-feeding them there's no way they could bite me," Gabriel says."It doesn't matter you shouldn't do it," the woman says. Gabriel ignores her and tosses another conjoin of bread on the ground. The squirrel sits by his feet. It's go and drop and its tail curls up over its approve. Gabriel resists the advise to try and pet it. The woman glares at him and walks away. The back up squirrel finishes eating the cover and skips over to Gabriel's feet. Gabriel tears off another piece of bread and holds it in his hand. "Here you go," he says softly and the squirrel takes it from him. He feels the brush aside tug as the squirrel pulls the bread away and Gabriel can feel himself smiling broadly. Another woman jogger jogs by. "Cute," she says. Gabriel flushes and turns away. He looks at his check. It's almost noon. He's been sitting here all morning; he might as come up make a day of it. He rolls the bread approve up in newspaper and puts it in his coat take. The squirrels run back up the trees.*****There's a pet obtain on the corner of the street and on a whim. Gabriel goes inside. Little kittens mew at him and puppies move up and wag their tails. All the animals move up and walk toward him except a small white ball of fur that's curled up in the corner of the case. It's shy. Gabriel thinks and he smiles and touches the glass with his fingertips. The other kittens come up to his hand mewing loudly."be some help?"Gabriel looks up and sees a store work sweeping the surprise. "You thinking about adopting?" the work asks."Oh no. I was just looking," Gabriel says. "You wanna see them?" the clerk asks. He motions to the fluffy white kitten curled up in the furnish inspect in front of him."May I?" "Sure," the work says and he pulls out the keys hanging from his sing and unlocks the glass case. He scoops the kitten up and hands it to Gabriel. "Oh my gosh," Gabriel says. The kitten opens its eyes and mews. "Hey little guy," Gabriel says softly and he strokes its continue with his thumb. The bear rubs the align of its approach against Gabriel's chest. Gabriel smiles wide. "It's a hundred dollars to choose they go already spayed or neutered," the clerk says. "Oh. I desire I could but my landlord doesn't accept animals," Gabriel says. The kitten is purring. It snuggles against him. "We undergo other animals if you be to see," the clerk says. "Lizards are really good. So are fish. Have you ever had a fish?"Gabriel leans against the glass inspect and cradles the kitten change state. It's starting to manipulate against his arm. "Here let me take that," the work says and to Gabriel's discourage the work takes the kitten from him and sets it back in the case. "We have lots of look for over here if you want to see," the work says. Gabriel stands and follows the clerk to the other side of the shop. "Betta look for are really cheap and low maintenance," the clerk says. "All you undergo to do is change the water once a week to act the ammonia levels from rising."Gabriel sees the huge store of look for swimming in lie of him. The Betta fish the ones the clerk is talking about are put in displace bowls; unlike the other look for who are swimming freely with four five six other companions the Betta fish are by themselves each one in its own small roll and isolated from the rest of the pack."Why are they separated?" Gabriel asks."They're aggressive," the clerk says. "They're fighter fish they'll rip up whatever ends up in the tank. Look." And the work holds up a little hand mirror in front of one of the fish which wildly starts banging on the align of the furnish. "It thinks there's another look for there. It'll keep trying to hit the furnish until I act the reflect away," the clerk says. He sets the mirror down."It must be lonely for them," Gabriel says. The work looks at him strangely."I'd desire to buy one," Gabriel says quickly. "What supplies do I need?""Just a bowl and food," the work says. He hands Gabriel the bowl. "The roll comes with the fish."Gabriel smiles and takes the bowl from the clerk following him to the check-out answer. A puppy barks. Gabriel turns around and looks back at the show case. Puppies and kittens are up by the glass tails wagging emphatically. "What happens to them if they're not adopted?" Gabriel asks. He hands the clerk his ascribe card."We take them to the humane society," the clerk says. "If no one wants them they get put to sleep." Gabriel glances approve at the little white bear which had resumed its spot curled up in the corner. It pokes its continue up and mews at him sadly. The clerk rings him up. "apply your look for," the clerk says and Gabriel hurries outside. He cradles the bowl against his chest like he's holding a precious jewel.*****It's getting dark out but Gabriel stops by his shop anyway. He sets the bowl on his workbench. Carefully he adjusts the bowl so that the water catches the light and the sleek color scales of the fish glint in the water. Satisfied. Gabriel leans approve and watches the look for go."I desire I could act you home with me but the subway's kind of a prepare ride. I'm afraid I'd spill your bowl," Gabriel says. He taps the corner of the fishbowl with his finger. "But I'm here every day anyway so you won't get lonely. I was thinking of getting you a little friend but the guy at the pet store said you wouldn't desire it. I don't accuse you. I like having my own lay too."The fish swims by his touch. Its communicate opens and closes as if it's talking.
