SWEETNESS AND HORROR, FIO WRITES THEM ALL

PLEASURE

 

 Some people are silver and some are gold

Some people are young and some are old

 Some people are shy and some are bold

Some people are warm and some are cold

 But all can be worthy, so I've been told.... 

                                             JBB, of course!!

 

HORROR

     As best the explorer could figure, he'd been lost for about a week. 

      His supplies had run out yesterday, but this morning, the explorer had found the remains of a path and, peering through the sandalwood and banyan intertwined with the snake-like lianas, he'd seen a lone round-top hut topped with a thatched roof.

       Stepping into the clearing, he called out a greeting loud clear to indicate his friendly intent....but no one answered. The jungle was still as death except for a faint whimper and a shuffling sound coming from inside the hut, like someone just waking.

        A child?

        The explorer approached the hut cautiously and pushed the woven door aside, but the hut was empty except for a gleaming white heap in the far corner.

         The explorer moved closer to the pile, then jerked back.

          Bones! Bones that, even as he watched, began to reassemble themselves...

          His heart pounding like a jumble drum, the explorer backed up and turned to escape, but before he could even reach the door, the explorer was dead and the bones were alive....
