The animal in the Cattlefield

"I'm sure you know how to work with Cattle. After all, your father ran a farm didn't he?" Mr. Rockford said as he looked at the new employee. A tall, redheaded 18 year old boy named Chris Greene.

"My dad was a foreman at a slaughterhouse. He barely interacted with the cows."Chris said as he looked at the small herd in front of him. He knew that Mr. Rockford raised cattle for milk.

"Well. Your job here is to keep an eye on the cows.. Make sure nothing gets in that could possibly hurt them. There's been sightings of Coyotes in the area. So use that rifle I gave you to scare them off."

Chris laughed. "So.. what if something much bigger than a coyote gets in? Because the..."

Mr. Rockford scoffed.

"There is noting bigger than a coyote in this area. Unless you're talking about a wolf, and even so.. The gunshots should scare them off." He went over to his house. And he grumbled something about. "Stupid mass hysteria"

A few hours later, Chris went into the cattle pen, he had heard some of the cows mooing. They sounded confused, then their moos turned into those of anger. Then a high pitched cry came out of nowhere. It wasn't a cow. But it sounded bigger than a cow.

Chris managed to see the source of the commotion. It was a large animal. About 10 feet tall, 30 feet long. It had a frill around its neck, and it had a beak. And it had horns. Three horns. Two over it's face, and one over its nose. Deep inside, Chris wanted to believe that he wasn't seeing one of these animals in the flesh. But the evidence was running towards him.

The massive animal lowered it's head, preparing to gore Chris with it's massive horns. Then it stopped as Mr. Rockford came out of his house, shooting at the massive beast with a fully automatic rifle.

"Kid. Don't move!" He yelled as the beast began to run in the opposite direction, breaking a hole in the fence that led into the forest. "Jesus..."

Mr. Rockford looked at Chris, and he put a Hand on his shoulder. "That was a Triceratops." He said as he looked at the hole in the fence. He laughed nervously as he looked at the herd of cattle that was beginning to settle down.

"I thought I was having a daydream, you know... I was watching the cattle for ages. Then I heard them mooing. So I thought one got hurt, or something got in. So when I saw it. I thought that I was having a hallucination.. Those animals have been extinct for millions of years, have they?"

Mr. Rockford sighed. "You ever hear about Jurassic World?"

"No sir. I think my brother mentioned it a few times. But my family was too poor to afford to go there."

"Well. They weren't extinct for 'millions of years'. Thanks to Ingen and their technology. They brought them back to life, as well as some other animals."

He led Chris into his house. And he looked at him.

"I worked there."
