The Nearly-dead Sheep



The sheep was perfectly still.
Perfectly dead, I thought.
Yes, dead.
Nothing moved.
Not even its iris, pupil or eyelashes.
Yet there was one thing which did move - its heart...
It had a beating heart!
Everything else was frozen in time.

God knows what had happened.
Was it in shock?
There were no signs of an attack.
No blood. No wounds. Nothing.
Just a perfectly still sheep – save for its beating heart.
