Unholy Cow

This story is dedicated to brooms that have the misfortune to be ridden by ugly old witches.

“I hope they throw out some delicious leftovers,” Abel the raven cawed eagerly from a nearby branch. He was staring hopefully at the headlights of a car coming up the dark country road.

“Littering is one of my least favorite sins . . . at least it would be if I had a least favorite sin. I really like them all,” Runyx replied in her wicked, rhythmic voice before going back to grazing on luscious green grass. She wasn’t in a normal field, but in the carefully tended yard of a farmer’s house.

Runyx was a beautiful, midnight black cow who loved long walks in the moonlight. She didn’t behave like the other cows, preferring to go off on her own. She had the ability to walk through fences and could even talk to people, although she didn’t like to. Most importantly, she was very evil with unholy powers at her command.

“Littering is my favorite,” Abel disagreed, preening his long feathers, which glistened in the light of the half moon that had just come out from behind puffy clouds. “Hopefully they’ll throw out perfectly good food for me to eat, maybe even a little candy. It is Halloween after all.”

“Candy is bad for you, Abel. It’ll rot your gut.”

“I’m a raven, nothing rots our guts. Plus I’m immortal, so it doesn’t matter,” he pointed out with a wingtip.

“Yes . . . well there is that,” Runyx admitted. They were both immortal, and the best of friends on top of that. The two of them had known each other for centuries, working together to spread chaos and turmoil throughout the lands.

“The moon just disappeared behind the clouds again,” Abel said, looking up at the glowing cloud passing across the sky. “Isn’t it supposed to be full on Halloween? It just doesn’t seem right only being half full.”

“That’s just in the movies. The moon works normally no matter what night it is.” She tore a flower out of a pretty garden that had been placed around a fountain with happy looking cherub statues spitting water out of their mouths. Runyx hated cherubs. They were little jerks that ran around in diapers and shot things for no apparent reason.

The car roared by, its lights glistening in the red glow of Runyx’s eyes. A bag of fast food from the local Fish Burgers was thrown out the window and Abel immediately pounced on the bag, ripping it open to get the partially eaten burger and fries within.

“You get awfully lucky with food being thrown out windows. Are you using your dark powers for personal gain?” Runyx asked suspiciously.

“No . . . I would never do that,” he protested innocently. “I don’t lie either.” Abel laughed in his high-pitched caw.

Runyx chuckled softly, the evil sound causing the flowers in the garden to curl back in fear. “What good is having evil powers if you don’t use them for personal gain?” she asked in amusement.
