Cold Blooded Murder

It was such a peaceful cool life with a bleak Sun for the company. Romancing the heavenly Aurora was an affair to remember! 

My solitude often was broken by the "Gaw" of the penguins. My adorable darlings...My tenacious feathery friends, yet so gentle, caring!

The good old seals, loitering here and there or simply resting, added to my frozen pace. 

 Flash Fiction For Aspiring WritersThe fluttering of the wings of the albatrosses improved my silence... And spotting the killer whales gave me goose bumps! 

But all these audio- visual treats appear so distant in my memory. Missing my companions as their numbers dwindle.  All I see is ominous presence of heavily clad humans! So very contrast to our bareness!!!  

Its a cold blooded murder every now and then, at every footstep, on my vast expanses! 

Bleeding silently I recollect the saying, "There is enough on Earth for everybody's need, but not enough for everybody's greed."
