Born from Boredom: Part 11, Old Geezer

Storm clouds gather on a muddy floodplain as an archaic, battle-scarred Triceratops horridus, nearly 30yrs in age, walks away from his last fight, right horn now permanently damaged, several gaping wounds drawing blood. An Avisaurus archibaldi watches nearby. Now, as the old trike limps over the muddy plains, horns damaged, with ticks and leeches clinging to his skin and flies gathering around his wounds, he comes to a conclusion that he is now biologically useless. He has lost the glimmer in his eyes and he will never be impressive or healthy enough to put up a last stand against other bulls. This will be his last year on Earth, and if infection doesn't get him first, the predators will. The old geezer walks.
