The Creatures

[MystyrMystyry]

Up there! In the trees!

Where? Dammit! Duck!
Behind that rock!

Do you think they saw us?

No but there were only
A few, perhaps they'll be
Back with reinforcements...

We'd better get out of here!

I second the motion - but
Where? Which direction?

Across the valley? Toward
The train track?

How about the old mill on
The hill?

Too high - they can swoop
Down on us if we're exposed

Did you see the claws on them?

How about the fangs?

Those bloody eyes!

That screech went right up my spine!

Ssssshhh

Flapping wings - they're coming!

A full squadron!

Which way? Where to hide?

There's a hollow behind
The waterfall...

Too far...

Over there - in the shadow
Under that crag!

Do you think we'll make it?

Not if we don't run - what's up?

Stone in my shoe...

Bother about it when you get there!

I'll try - don't worry about me!
You go on ahead! I'll make it!

Just take your shoe off!

Good thinking!

Hurry! They're almost here!



Phew - close call...

I feel there's a short story lurking in here!

It's a horror movie minus the film, actors and most other things!

I hereby dub your brand of poetry thoughtscapes!

[Jerrybaldy]

Story telling for sure MM you never fail. Dodgy ending this time though?

You make it seem so easy. That is surely a gift.

[MystyrMystyry]

Thanks deryk - thoughtscapes you reckon? Okey dokey...

[MystyrMystyry]

Thanks JB - easy is the seeming, difficult is the plan: were the characters to get eaten then what possible sequel?
