Here there be monsters (Friday Fictioneers)
PHOTO PROMPT © Björn Rudberg
I didn’t think a sign would keep them away. I was surprised. It did for a while. Longer than I thought.
Not forever though.
“Jenny, co’mere, co’mon.”
“Bobby, you’re spillin’ the booze.” The girl snorted and then hiccupped and moaned. “I’m gonna be sick.”
“Don’, don’ do tha’… Co’mere, I’ll ‘elp.”
I crouched lower. The brush covered my exposed scales, the green blended in. They couldn’t see me. Still, I waited holding my breath. Couldn’t they see the sign?
“Ey… Wazzat?” The boy wavered and nearly fell, pointing as his eyes widened.
Damnit.
With a flick I unsheathed my claws.

Yes, a changeling. Nicely slurped.
Haha i guess they should have listened to the sign 😉
I didn’t no it spoke 😲😜
Hahahaha Oh Yes but you have to listen carefully 🤤
Or at least read it. I bet they wish they had
And so ends Bobby and Jenny’s romantic evening!
Oh so very true! 😊 thanks Iain
Yeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkk. *sound of shoes on the gravel headed away. Excellent, Laurie.
Hahaha run!
Thanks for reading John, I always laugh at your responses! You make my day
Good. It is good to laugh.
Agreed!! 😁
😀
Delightfully different and a great little read Laurie!
Click to read my 100 Word Story!
Thank you Keith! 😊
I hope the scaly monster will eat them now or dispose of their bodies. Obviously for him/her/it to be left in peace, Jenny and Bobby have to disappear without trace – run away together maybe?
I am now worried that I’m more concerned for your alien’s survival than our drunken canoodling couple. 🙂
I love your conundrum Sarah Ann… i had the same problem though yes the poor scaly friend is in danger of exposure but my drunken mates may not make it out alive!
Dear Laurie,
He gave them fair warning. Good one.
Shalom,
Rochelle
I think he did… but now? Thanks for reading Rochelle
I like the idea of a scaly monster trying to keep humans away with a notice! So nice that the alien wants to avoid harming people.
Yes exactly! It’s for their own safety. It doesn’t want to hurt them but it has to protect itself
I hope your enterprising dragon isn’t allergic to alcohol because these two idiots are pickled in it by the sound of things. I was definitely on the side of the scaly clawed gentleman.
Bahahaha love it Jilly!! Pickled humans yeah that might upset it’s tummy!
Poor monsters, being ill-treated by those ill-mannered, illiterate human encroachers incessantly.
Exactly!!! 😁
Sounds like a monster that would rather remain undetected–but one does what one must.
Yes you are right. It prefers the quiet
A very kind monster indeed.
😊
This was a most enjoyable read, Laurie! Drunken fools go where they should not…
Yup so true Dale! And they just keep walking…. uh oh 😉
Warning should have been taken… maybe it’s a all about the Darwin reaper… making sure the gene pool is good enough
Oooooo i love the name. Maybe thats who it was?
A very fun story. Great job.
Thanks Lisa!
Bad place to get drunk. Great story.
Hmmmm of yes indeed, watch out for the rustle in the bushes
