IT



Night before last I heard It in the attic, scratching. I told Daddy.




He shrugged, "House noises."


Yesterday, It slithered to the closet. I told Daddy.


He frowned, "Imagination."


This morning, It moved into the cellar, growling low. I didn't tell Daddy.


Daddy lugged a box into the cellar. Wonder if he'll believe me now.


Be sure to visit Galen at G-Man, Mr. Know It All, and let him know if you have written a Friday Flash 55 story that you would like to share. Have an incredible weekend. Be marvelous. D
