For
this year’s A to Z Challenge, I’m writing drabbles based on words I got from a
random word generator. A drabble is a
short piece of fiction of exactly 100 words.
Enjoy!
Yikes!
The world can be a
strange place. Estelle knew this
already. Still, none of her previous
experiences prepared her for the sight that greeted her when she went to bed on
a mild Saturday evening in April.
The room was dark, lit
only by the moon. She didn’t notice the
hulking shadow in front of her bed until she smacked straight into the thing
causing it. The body was muscular and
sticky. Dozens of eyes glistened as they
looked at her.
“Yikes!” she yelped.
Then the creature wailed
too before leaping out the open window and dashing across the yard.
yikes is right! I think I would run from the creature but thankfully the creature run first.
