A cutesy cartoon dog anthropomorhically walks onto the screen from the left. He whistles a happy tune and his head bobs to the beat. Eventually, he comes across a cat, lying curled up on the floor.

He pauses.

Looks at the camera. A few bubbles pop into existence and finally a larger one. The scene plays out in his head:
"He pulls a stick of TNT already lit from off frame. He throws it at the cat. The cat explodes into a puff of smoke. And when the smoke clears is no longer there."

POP

The thought bubble blinks out of existence; out of the dogs mind.
And he continues his saunter across the screen, happy in the knowledge he decided not to do the evil deed that popped into his head.

Maybe I'm just bored, but since you told me you don't usually do prose, I wondered what you usually write. :P

Well, isn't this adorable? xD I think it's more like a screenplay than an actual story, but it's fun like that.

"He pulls a stick of TNT already lit from off frame. He throws it at the cat. The cat explodes into a puff of smoke. And when the smoke clears is no longer there." That whole bit is kind of choppy. Kind of throws the reader off, but I suppose it's effective in its own way.

If I could change something, I'd probably completely cut out the last 5 words and end the sentence at 'evil deed'. That's what seems the most effective to me; the way you've got it is a bit too wordy. However, your way does puts more emphasis into the ';popping', which is the theme of your piece, so whether or not you want it that way is up to you.

Fun read. :)
