Delicious suet

The long reddish tongues dangle until they are about to touch the ground due to the intensity of thirst.. The guards await the time for lunch after three days of total starvation.. The infiltrating rays of the sun that settle on the large wall are about to recede, so the eyes cling to it, and when it disappears, the guards open the doors, and trained dogs run frantically searching In the twisted catacombs for food and drink.

The dogs finish their arduous search after fifteen minutes, through twenty kilometers of catacombs leading to each other in endless circles.

Dogs crowd around the circle of flat meat coated with fat, then turn their faces and retreat until they are about to leave, so hunger tears the walls of their intestines to sniff the fat and lick it again until it reveals the delicious meat that they adore.

The powerful are dispersed after satiety, to be replaced by the less powerful, until everyone is satiated, and the long red tongues are still hanging down, touching the ground from the intensity of thirst.. The trained ears vibrate as soon as they hear the drop of water drops in the basin, so the blood flows in their veins and they regain their strength and begin the journey of searching in the twisted catacombs for half a year. The hour is until one of the hundred is guided to the place, and he keeps barking until he indicates the others who are rushing to his place.

The last dog sips the last drop of water in the basin, and everyone rests against the damp walls to sleep and wake up two hours before midnight, so that they cannot find food or drink. The dogs go off to the delicious grease that they are addicted to and lick it for a long time to reveal grilled or boiled meat, which no longer tempts them, then they sip with clear water.

The next three days pass, and the fourth comes, and the dogs are surprised by the human bodies smeared with delicious grease. The naked body.. Dogs sniff uneven meat, so they keep away from it, and content themselves with delicious fat and pure water.

The guards regularly turn on the headphones and ring the bell of the receding sunlight every day, so the inmates scream and the dogs enjoy the delicious fat. One day the dogs were not satisfied with the fat and released their fangs to devour the bodies of the inmates.

The dogs were satiated and could not catch their breath, so they died after five days, and the renegades and bandits quit living in the western tunnel because they were far from the causes that lead to the delicious fat that the new generations of trained dogs would become addicted to.
