Laundry Day

Posted on by LittleFears

She sat on the shelf in the basement. Watching in silence and always waiting. The human stood below her, with his pile of clean clothes. He picked up the stack and made his way upstairs. His toes found a dog toy and he wobbled. Gargoyle held her breath. He stumbled backwards, sending his clothes flying in every direction. The creature smiled as she watched it all unfold.

Oof, the poor fella. This mean critter came from the missus. Everybody loves her previous art here, so she gets tapped again for a drawing. You can say hello to her on Twatter at @DonnaMStrachan and you can nobble her art prints from Society6 and you can buy her a cuppa on Ko-fi.

Cheers to Kathy & Warren for the continued $10 Patronage. You can find me on Ko Fi, Patreon, Etsy, Amazon, Skillshare and Threadless.

      2. Yeah, I loved the old series and I saw the first series of the revival but missed the second. I find cliffhanger series endings a total tune-out moment nowadays. It’s a weird American thing to do, I’m glad it hasn’t crept across the pond to British TV.

      3. Yea, I think the last tolerable (Xfilesesque) show that I saw was Black Mirror. Don’t watch much TV these days for a reason. My provider keeps asking me to add a cable package to my internet plan. I’d rather watch Little Fears.

      4. Despite the reviews, I’d still watch new Twilight Zone. I also want to see Stranger Things. I have, however, seen neither. Sighs It’s a shame the British don’t make weird fiction/sci-fi anymore. We were awesome at it during the 60s-80s. The last memorable one I saw was Neverwhere, and I think that was 90s?

      5. Yea. I’ve caught glimpses of Stranger Things and they talk about the Montauk Experiments as far as I’m aware. If you want to watch a somewhat dull but occasionally hilarious video about this supposed conspiracy check out this 90’s-tastic public accessesque glory: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwj2asmeqmI . And yes the British shows seem to have a bit more character and I wish that would come back. American Top Gear is a bit lacking. Though the short driver guy is really good unlike Hammond.

  18. Love it! You conveyed fully realized suspense, humor and personality in such a small space. Impressive and inspiring. Makes me want to try my hand at flash fiction! 🙂
