Ficlets

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- “WHO’S THERE ?” He giggled, and covered his mouth with a delighted hand, so happy to have words back.
