My last ghouls galore submission, was a fun ride, please enjoy!
She stood with the letter opener in her hands;
wearing the silk nightdress. She woke up, unsure if the crashing noise was real
or just a bad dream, when the footsteps begun: in the kitchen. When the foot
steps start climbing the stairs, she jumped and locked her door. Strange
gurgling sounds come from the bathroom. She weighted her options: her bedroom
was too high to jump, and no one would come in the next couple days. Unlocking
the door, she walked toward the stairs. To get there, she had to cross the
bathroom, the door wide open, lights lit, as if waiting for her. She decided to
run. She was the fastest runner in the town. But a dark figure eclipsed her
plans: A creature, tall, covered with long brown fur and sharp claws, left the
bathroom looking at her, and with imperative commanded: GIRL! Where you keep
the damn antacids?!
Stunned, she answered automatically:
B...bottom, left drawer!!
It turned around, into the bathroom. Oblivious
to what his appearance caused, it kept talking: My bowels are killing me! This
borborygmic noises, why I ate so much? Damn kids!
She whispered: it...ate kids?
She got up and ran away, down the stairs and
into the night. Probably breaking a couple records. The monster kept on: ...
Kids! They say: “try this one! And this!” But I’m not young! I can’t eat so
much candy...Where are you girl? Eh, no respect for the elderly! What a thing
leaving without saying goodbye!
Very clever and amusing close to the Ghouls Galore challenge. Love the "monster's" grumbling and complaining.
