He knew it was "that time of year". He had heard about what was coming for them. He hoped it would not take him. Then he saw it....a giant hand...somehow attached to that drooling mouth behind it. He began to sweat. His heart was pounding so hard he thought it might pop one of his blue buttons. He wanted to run, to scream out, but it was no use. His legs would not move....like they were baked that way. It felt like hours, but it was only seconds, and then it was over. He was safe. But she was gone....she was gone!! Oh well, she talked too much anyway.
Tsyll, yeah, I kind of miss the old name too ("She talked too much anyway..."). I thought it was definitely funnier. Someone in the critiques suggested this name. It does seem to fit better---makes more sense with the image and the look on his face---and several other critiquers liked it better too. I was torn...a title that's funnier, or a title that makes more sense? So I went with what made sense and put the funnier one in the write-up about it.
I hope a title change isn't going to affect my chances here.
hehehe, I'd like to see the lil guy saying a small "whew." or something, but a great idea of leaving the tiniest bit of the wife's arm and bow is a super touch.
Hey, thanks for the comments everybody! Glad you like it. :)
FRICKINAWESOME, (I like your screen name-btw) I actually had a "whew!" on it in my original version in critique mode. People seemed to prefer it without the text. BUT, I had it big and you're suggesting it small....I never thought to make it small, I just took it out....I should've tried that first. Good suggestion.
