A small creature darted across the floor and under the bed. I peeked over the edge of the mattress. The thing growled. Startled, I dove underneath the covers, praying it didn’t see me.
Gurgling, slurping sounds emanated from underneath the bed. My stomach churned and cramped.
The noises grew louder. I felt the sheets quiver slightly. Sweat dripped from my forehead.
The covers tore off and the contorted face of a helpless, wounded child materialized before my eyes. Its bruised, bloodshot eyes paralyzed me with fear.
“You see,” it moaned. “Remember this the next time you eat spicy chili before bed.”
This is a most unusual story. I enjoyed reading it.
A unique story indeed. The reader is left to use his imagination.
Very unique! I love how it grabbed my attention, built and ended with a smile.
Lol, keep them coming!
Great story, thinking like that earns you “THE NEXT STEVEN KING” Award!
Oh my… ?
Well done.
Nicely done Josh. Always a pleasure to see one of our compatriots’ works featured.
It definitely put me in mind of reading Dean Koontz’s Tick Tock. Love the ultimate humour.
