--

"Moe! MOE!" Tabitha said. She picked a human femur off the ground and held it up, waving it around to get the centaur's attention.

Moe was sunning himself on a rock, licking his eyeballs and scratching one of his vestigial legs. When he heard Tabitha's voice, he turned his head in her direction, and stared her with his dead, blank eyes.

"Come on, Moe! HERE BOY," Tabitha persisted.

Moe made a gurgling sound.

"MOE, YOU STINKING BAG OF PUKE, COME HERE," Tabitha bellowed.

The centaur coughed up a clump of necrotic flesh, and dragged himself on his armlegs to where Tabitha stood. Then he cautiously stood a few paces away and flicked his tongues at her. As usual, his face was contorted into a permanent expression of hatred and agony.

"Good boy, Moe!" Tabitha told him. She resisted the urge to pat him on the head, as she'd tried to do that with Carl, her last favorite centaur, and it had been messy.

Moe whimpered and made another noise, one that sounded uncannily like a human voice. Sometimes Tabitha swore that he was trying to speak. She waved the femur at him, then threw it.

"Fetch!" Tabitha said.

The femur arced through the air, disappearing somewhere beyond the horizon.

Moe gazed at the sky as the femur disappeared from view - then, burbling to himself, he lumbered away in the opposite direction.

Tabitha watched the stupid centaur crawl away, and considered the merits of just killing and eating him.
