Horror Came to Me

"Horror came to me in the form of glow in the dark soup."
As the bowl moved closer, I began to wonder what this monstrous creation was. Though the substance was almost invisible to me, covered by its own source, its presence was known by the faint glow that it admitted. I stared in horror at the one who moved it closer to my face. Perhaps this was what Revelations was talking about. The end of the world.

It certainly would be if anyone attempted to ingest it.

I took the bowl, and tipped it over in the sink, watching the glowing mess trickle down into a whirlwind formation down the sink. A pair of interested eyes looked over my shoulder. The sun had set a long time ago, and the black out which had begun in the afternoon had thrown the city into darkness. Dogs growled at each other in the street below, and cats yowled their night time lullaby to the world, in tune with the bashing trees and wind across the window.

If I had to blame anyone for Mother Nature's tantrum outside, I would blame it on that radiating, glowing bowl of soup.

"Darling...how many times has mummy told you not to play with your paints in the kitchen?"



I got bored, so I took one of Ami's American University essay questions and did it for fun. Been meaning to do it for a while, and finally I have the time.
And after reading what I wrote, and considering how long it took me to write it...I think I need a lot more practice again.
