Ears Prick Up is a story included in [[Swift To Chase (Book)]] set in a far future version of Earth where society seems to have fallen back on a structure not unlike the ancient Roman Empire. The story follows the cyborg dog war machine [[Rex]], who first appeared in the story [[Rex (Story)]]. An [[Antiquity]] version of the world as described in Ears Prick Up seems to be mentioned in the story [[The One We Tell Bad Children]]: "[...] he regaled us with tales of a previous life wherein civilization fell into ruin and he’d roamed a postapocalyptic landscape accompanied by a vicious clockwork dog."
