Micro 100 #10 In the Eyes of Moses [351] 100w (07.02.22)
Once I looked into the bull's eyes, I knew I couldn't eat him.

His tag said Moses. My older brother's pet ruled the pastures long ago, and now would be lead to slaughter. A bullseye emblazoned his hide.

Moses quietly approached the fence and leaned into my hand when I went to pet him. We looked deep into each others eyes. I saw good hay, willing heifers and home. Home. What did he see? I started humming "Let my people go".

I lead him down the ramp and kept on going. It was time for me to set him free.
