Snips and Snails #5

          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.
