The storm tonight is very scary, strong winds with a stronger howling voice blows across the valley. Even with the full moon the darkness is still ominous causing the bravest of men to quake in their beds.
Many would say there’s nothing to be thankful for tonight, but not me; I’m as happy as any sand-boy can be. I have a warm roof over my head, an ample helping of delicious cookies and a luscious bed to lay my head. The same cannot be said for the little girl under whose desk I reside tonight. Chirrrrpp! Goodnight.
In response to Friday fictioneers writing challenge hosted by Rochelle. The picture was provided by Madison Woods and we are asked to write a 100 words story inspired by it. Thanks Rochelle for hosting it, see you next week.

Interesting point of view. Takes the idea of scariness from one POV and subverts it!
Quite good work!

A suspenseful twist -what’s going to happen to the little girl. And the narrating from the Point of view of an insect or bird(?) was a unique and creative approach.

Great take on the prompt, very inventive. (That ‘whom’s’ looks a bit odd to me but perhaps that’s just me.)

Oh, crickets can be annoying. I can see why the little girl won’t have such a good night. I love how you write from the bug’s POV!

Exactly my thought, dealing with annoying cricket sounds on such a scary night would be so frustrating. Thanks for reading.

Dear Chioma,
Cute story and a different point of view. I’d say you resolved the “whom’s” issue nicely. “whose” is as it should be. Well done.
Shalom,
Rochelle
