The Prose Masquerade Think about what monster or creature you would most enjoy emulating if you were forced to become it for the rest of your life. (You can't say a businessman is a monster and take the easy route out). Within the realms of ghouls, ghosts, vampires, centaurs, etc., pick your poison, and craft something that shows how you would cope at your worst, your best, in your newfound existence of monstrosity. Let the words run. The winner gets a trick or treat box from me.

Fairy

Floating above the forest

Tiny and blue,unseen

Anger building inside

I'm going to do something mean

Slip a little powder into a giant cup

A fleshy hand reaches towards it

Gulping, adam's apple bobbing

Then realization, trying to spit

A cloud envelopes the affected man

Then a rumbling yell that almost reveals me

Pressing me flat like batter in a hot pan

Giggling, I fly away fast

The man, turning blue, spots me

His eyes bulge and he bellows

Trying to grab me as I swoop past

Laughing aloud I retreat to the forest

Taking refuge on a high branch

Feeling joyful at last.
