Could it really be that time already? Then bring on the Science Fiction Fantasy
Saturday! Today’s snippet is a
continuation from my short story, Snips
and Snails. So far, we’ve met the
monster in the young boy’s closet and found out their relationship is anything
but typical. Check out the earlier posted
snippets for the full back story. Here
we find the two in the middle of some more monster/bloodling bonding. Drop a comment if you care to. They are always appreciated! Don’t forget to go over to
SciFiFanSat.blogspot.com and check out all of the great writing from a truly
talented group of authors posted weekly over there. You’ll be glad you did.

“Check
this out, Booger.”
Turning
to the computer, the boy typed something into the keyboard and a web page sprung
up.
Remember the oath - the creature
repeated the mantra over and over in his thoughts. The tradition passed down among generations
was his to uphold and he wouldn’t allow shame to befall him and his lineage
because of this human pup.
Bending over the boy’s shoulder, the creature stared into the screen and
said, “Do not call me that.”
The
boy clicked the mouse and said, “They call this one two mimes, a jackhammer,
and an albino goat.”
The
creature’s hand involuntarily shot up to its mouth and shielded the screen from
view in a decidedly unfrightening stance.
“By
Beezlebub’s blackened beard, turn that sickness off, bloodling.”
Laughing hysterically, the boy spun around in the chair and typed in
something else.
“If you thought that one was bad,
wait until I get the next one loaded.”
I
hope you enjoyed this week’s snippet.
Come back next week to see what these two are up to next. Thanks and have a great weekend.
