A blind wanderer and his dog came upon a canyon rumored to be bottomless. He couldn’t see its immensity but could sense it in his surroundings and was drawn to its power. He knelt at its edge and felt along its side with his hand, too focused to notice the earth was loose. His dog, however, sensed the danger and tried to pull him away—to no avail. The man fell and disappeared. The dog lay down awaiting his return, waited so long death claimed him and his bones calcified. The dog is still there. The man is still falling.

A drabble from my irregularly updated collection of 100-word tales.

Based on the Tarot's zeroth trump card, The Fool.
