The Everpresent Wordsnatcher felt someone coming, he could hear the words easily slipping away from their mouth's- How he longed for that freedom. He wanted the words, their sweet meanings. A boy and a dog, who chattered on with words so easily flying into the air around them, passed The Everpresent Wordsnatcher. Long, lucious terms floated into the air and disapeared as easily as they had appeared. The Everpresent Wordsnatcher, licking his pasty lips greedily, gave a barbaric shriek so horrible the fdog let out a yelp and hid behind the boy. Again, words slipped so effortlessly from their mouths... _Who's there? Show yourself!_ The Everpresent Wordsnatcher grabbed at the words and let a cry- _&quot;WHO'S THERE?&quot;_ He giggled, and covered his mouth with a delighted hand, so happy to have words back. 2007-11-04T16:46:55Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/12804 <p>The Everpresent Wordsnatcher cannot speak, unless he steals words from others. Once he has the words, he can make other words useing the letters, and the people he stole them from cannot use the words.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12804?basename=21302 2007-11-04T16:46:55Z insomniac http://ficlets.com/authors/xacoverstoryx <p>I think I get it. ;^)</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12804?basename=21301 2007-11-04T16:42:57Z Jenunique http://ficlets.com/authors/jenunique <p>iNTRIGUING.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/12804?basename=21298 2007-11-04T16:34:45Z Rosalienye http://ficlets.com/authors/rosalienye
