Once again, I am combining two great MEMEs: G-Man's 55 Flash Fiction Friday and 3 Word Wednesday. It is a fun challenge. I recommend you try it. This week's three words are: callous, interfere, and persistent. Whether or not this is a work of fiction depends on the statute of limitations.
He had learned not to interfere with the persistent warfare next door.
He was not callous, but he had jumped into such a fracas before, only to see the bruised and battered woman return for more.
Until one day he witnessed the dirt bag beating his dog.
That was when he went over the fence.

Wow! This one is great! I can't stand when dogs are abused. Like they can do anything about it. Love ya Carly
Excellent picture, and post! All dirt bags beware! :)
It takes a real asshole to beat a helpless dog.
Telling a story in 55 words is a real challenge. You did a great job.
I believe that this very representative of you. You'd be the first one over the fence and you with your freakish strength.....well I wouldn't want it to be me on the other side. In the time I knew you there were how many rescue efforts for dogs....??
I think this is very representative of many. Kids and dogs will bring on an intervention, some how women and men on the recieving end of abuse are perceived as they SHOULD be able to get away. But because dogs and children love so unconditionally they will take it. Boy, this one makes my head reel. co
Great read. (I'd be over the fence at well.)
Sadly it's a sign of the times, and they're dropping like flies in my little bit of bohemia too...
The NaisaiKu.. Challenge!
wow. Intriguing and such a creative use of the words - i can actually picture the whole thing as I was readinG! great post!
Hm, as Frank whatshisname said in Hidalgo...don't talk bad about my horse (big dog). Should have shot him the first time though.
You have a talent for this - great read, great...
well done. for the writing and the story itself!
excellent.. now if i could just figure out if he was a human or a canine.......
About time I got over here to check you out.
I too would be, well not over the fence but definitely calling the ASPCA, the coutny sherriff or what have you.
Thankfully I don't have neighbors like that.
I'm Susiestheboss, nice to meet you!
:)
Nice little social commentary MBW, as well as an Excellent 55!!
Great job on fulfilling your dual word challenges. Thanks for visiting, thanks for playing, and have a wonderful weekend....G
2 meme's with good content-great job! Mines up
It's a sad fact over here that people will willingly go to the rescue of an animal (quite rightly I might add) but wouldn't help another human being. :(
Great 55.
Sad and thought provoking.
It's beyond sad that the human race perpetrates violence against one another and our loving, trusting pets. Great 55!
Akelamalu:
In a New York minute. Women can choose to live in an abusive relationship or not. A dog has no choice. Case in point.

i hate dirt bags...i had my own personal dirt bag once. :-/
great 55.
It seems like both our themes for the 55's this week are on abuse. It is something that I will never be able to figure out...:(
