Raining Frogs Option Bc: Make Life Difficult


These creatures ruined your day. This perfect, lovely day of realized dreams. A vindictive part of you simply wants to ruin their day in return.


sacks-1162226Although your head’s covered with a potato sack, you have no trouble telling when you’ve left the bank. Frogs splat against your head and shoulders in an unceasing rain of amphibians. They fill the air with ribbits and croaks over the general, thick splatting sound their soft bodies make against the ground.


You wait until you’re away from the bank and out into the street before you let loose on your four captors. With a shove of your hip, you push the right one far enough away that you can kick his legs. Luck’s with you. The kick connects solidly although with the hood you can’t say where.


You guess near his knee because he screams and crumbles to the ground. He continues screaming in a gargle like show of agony.


You don’t question your luck when he doesn’t rise. Instead, you shift to attack the creature on your left.


He sweeps your legs from beneath you and you hit the ground with a thud that rattles teeth. The potato sack slides to the top of your head and you shake, making it fall away completely. You’re just in time to see the creature aim a kick. As his leg draws back, you snake your feet around the leg holding his weight and pull.


He falls and huffs when he hits. His hood falls off and within seconds, frogs cover him.


You stare, shocked, steam hisses and frogs croak but when they clear away from him, there’s nothing left.


A quick glance confirms the first robber suffered a similar fate. You can’t remember when he stopped screaming. It all happened in such a blur.


You meet the eyes of the last two, and shudder. Inhuman fury turns their already ugly faces to masks of pure hate.


They shriek and race at you.


You try to roll away but your hands are still bound. The first kick hits low on your spine. The butt of a shotgun barely misses your temple.


A part of you wonders whether to be thankful or frustrated that they don’t just shoot you but as more and more kicks connect, you loose any thought except trying to protect your body.


You pull your hands and arms around your face and curl into a tight ball. Another kick rocks you onto your back.


Two things hit your pain-addled brain. One, your hands are free, and two, you just rolled onto a shotgun.


You gab the gun and pull the trigger.


One of the attackers staggers and falls to his knees and, because of his short stature, this puts him into easy reach of the jumping frogs. They swarm him and he disappears.


When you look up, you freeze. The last creature holds a shotgun. You’re faced off, each holding the weapon on the other.


Time slows for a subjective minute. Frogs hop behind your last opponent like they’re encouraging you. Several land on top of each frog-1390604other and before long, you realize they’re stacking themselves behind him to reach his head. It’s the oddest thing you’ve ever seen.


You’re not sure if the shot you took at the other creature hurt it or just knocked it over. All you know is the frogs definitely hurt it.


Do you…


Bc1: Shoot Him?

Bc2: Stall for the Frogs?


Blessings and see you Thursday for the finish to this wacky adventure!
