Eerie Indiana/Gortimer Gibbons Drabble: The Frog

[froodle]

There was an evil frog living in the crawl space under his house.

Wally knew this, because for the last few days it had been taunting him. Wet webbed footprints appeared across his weather map, and now Sergeant Knight and a very green-faced Officer Derek were out on Lake Eerie looking for the Shadow Over Innsmouth. Milk left on his doorstep would be curdled by a single scorching ray of sunlight hours before dawn. Errant, unseasonable breezes scattered his papers and laundry alike.

And now, all the chocolate in town was melting, and the Mayor would want to know why.
