Glazed - Demonic
Quote by JamesPBear
OK, this is NOT an entry, but a certain person who will remain nameless happens to be visiting French Lick and wanted me to post this. I discarded this as too creepy, but apparently … SOMEbody LIKES creepy…

The Assignment
Gildor opened the door. Hot summer air torched his face, and a fly buzzed by.
French Lick, he sneered to himself. What a hick name!
Flashing his plumber’s card, he entered the resort’s service entrance. His tool kit held zip ties, gags, and chloroform. He’d been sent to abduct that pair of twin sisters, and when the money was right, he always delivered…
😈
His idea of silent stealth is amusing. And unacceptable. I ease up in a slow stretch, heating my limbs.
"What is it, Pix? Trouble?" you buzz-purr, still sleepy-eyed from our snuggle.
"No worries, Butter. Just going to make sure we get fed in the morning."
I give each fore-paw a flex, talons arcing. Satisfied, I slip into the summer darkness.
I hope this one's a screamer. That's always more fun.
I'll go first, so everyone will have something easy to better.

Summer rises fast across the desert.
Against nature's clock, I was tasked one of the department newbies, to find her special bloom.
We'd slow-tramped two long arroyo cuts of heat and dust before we found it.
Sprawled in the gravel wash beside me, she turned her sweat-speckled face to mine and smiled.
"Hear that buzz? Happy bee, happy life."
She found what she was looking for. Maybe I did, too.
