A cracked sign hangs off a crooked pole, only a portion of the crude lettering visible through the scorched wood:

WELLCO
KARL'

RASS
KEE
OU

Beyond the sign is a sunny glade; in the sunny glade is a well-aerated tuber patch; next to the well-aerated tuber patch is an evil-looking hole.

Silt, in velociraptor form, scratches his sickle-shaped claw three times through the dirt. He feels a tremor belowground.

The raptor runs in a circle, as if ready to play. In the distance, people move in the forest — they seem to be coming to the glade. The little dinosaur cocks his head, listening as the newcomers move closer.

At that moment two things happen concurrently: slavering insectoid jaws lurch out from below the earth, and Silt thinks, That sounds like more than just Toby and Purpose coming this way…

I will meet you there.

Silt's scales melt in the afternoon sunlight, the rainbow colors scintillaring into a smaller blob that becomes a small-sized turkey-looking thing with ferocious teeth and a beautiful feathered tail that's as long as his body is again.

WHHHUUAAAARRRRKKKKPHHHH

He sprints off across the farmland, his bright tail cutting through the waves of golden wheat like a mango sharkfin.

I'm so happy the scientific consensus these days is that dinosaurs were feathered; it's so much more fun imagining them.
