Hammurabi Code, Once More


She stood inmovil to what her eyes were witnessing. 

The ipod was releasing a calm reggae song, while her dog was bitting fierceless that good looking goat. 
A man came by and shout- are you just going to stare at it!? Do something! 
 
What was she to do. She was only a teenager, it was the first time this happened to her. 
But he, he looked old, at least in his forties. He grabbed a rock from the floor and thread on throwing it at the dog. 
-I will kill this animal!- 
 
Then, she understood that humans will tend to do "eye for eye" even if it has nothing to do with them.
