Beau

March 24, 2019 LittleFears21 Comments

Story by Sue

Within the hard, shrivelled cocoon of his lifeless body, Beau slept. The silken cover of his shelf bed stirred softly in the breeze from the opening door.

Suddenly a shrill whistle pierced the quiet. Skilful hands removed Beau from his silken cover and placed him in a warm glasshouse. He was immersed in a scalding liquid. After the initial shock warmth eased his inner soul out of his ugly body. His true colour flooded the liquid and his seed blossomed into a lovely flower.

Feeling alive he floated up to the top of his new glass house.

He heard a soft voice announce, “Here is my Beau-Tea”.

View Point

Brass Ep. 54

Copper watched the road they’d come from. Keeping an eye out for the creature that had been watching them. Iron continued fiddling under the dash of the car. An occasional whir and grind came from the engine.

It reminded Copper of the one car she’d driven. It would always stop working during the hottest hours of the afternoon. She couldn’t stand that Ford Siesta.

Shout out to the impeccable Liz of See Liz Blog (with friends!) for a cuppa Ko-Fi yesterday. Also, thanks to Warren for the continued $10 Patronage.

Frog Park

Brass Ep. 53

The pair continued their journey in silence for what felt like hours. They found themselves stopping for a break in Frogs Pond car park.

Copper sat on the bonnet of a rusted Lotus. Iron crawled through the window and tried to get the car to start.

“I’m surprised there’s a vehicle here,” said Copper. “This car park was for amphibians only. All other vehicles used to get toad.”

Shout out to my new Patron Sue of Connects.live and to Devina of Hot Chocolate & Books for a cuppa Ko-Fi yesterday. As always, thanks to Warren for the continued $10 Patronage.

City Sink

Brass Ep. 52

A rumble and crash broke their focus and in a blink of an eye, every building around them had sunk into the ground.

“Cripes. This reminds me of the funfair made of glass,” remarked Copper. “I couldn’t see the attraction.”

They smirked together.

Copper looked about at the now absent city and sighed.

Shout out to Beverley of Kasu Tours for buying me a cuppa on Ko-Fi yesterday. Also, thanks to Warren for the continued $10 Patronage.

Distant Eyes

Brass Ep. 51

“Did you hear that?” gasped Copper.

Iron looked back up the road, eyes narrowed. Copper followed Irons gaze. She saw movement on top of a building in the distance. A spot of black with two shining eyes.

“Do you see its eyes?” asked Copper.

Iron cocked her head to one side and gave her a nod.

“I do like an eye pun,” remarked Copper. “The cornea the better.”

Mods’n’Codders

Brass Ep. 50

Metallic fish were strewn across the street outside the chip shop. Iron nudged the handlebars of a motorcycle with her nose. ‘Triumph’ embossed on the petrol tank. The rest of the bike had sunk into the dirt road.

“On Fridays, two shoals of robot fish riding motorcycles or mopeds would come here and have a dust-up,” sighed Copper.

Iron dug around the tank. As she loosened the soil what was let of the bike sunk below ground level. Copper pulled Iron away from the sinking vehicle.

“It was very seventies,” she continued. “Codrophenia.”

“Hey there Fears,” said Sprite. “Back from the conference?”

“Yeah,” grumbled Lucy.

“Don’t sound very happy,” pointed out Spectre. “Was everything alright?”

“Fine, fine,” replied Yuffie.

“It’s just…” pondered Fuen, “the hotel took our wake up call a bit seriously…”

“Oh, aye?” chuckled Sprite.

“Yeah,” moaned Clouds. “At 6 am, the manager knocked on our doors and yelled ‘what are you doing with your life?'”

Aeya

Fear of ink (6)

“You’re a fool,” sighed Lucy. “There are some things even I don’t mess with. Aeya is among those things.”

A creepy lady with a bushy tail for a Saturday doodles.

I can imagine her being as tall as a skyscraper. Unseen by the human eye. Floating down city streets. Peering in windows. Filling workers with dread. Draining their souls without them knowing. More so than their 9 to 5s…

Shout out to Bob, the Penguin for buying me another cuppa ko-fi. You’re keeping me stocked with tea here man! Also, thanks to Warren for the $10 Patronage.
