Eerie, Indiana fanfiction: Usual Suspects
Written for Day 29 of the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
31_days October challenge. The prompt was "smell my feet"
"Gross," said Marshall, poking at one slime-encrusted sneaker with the tip of a pen and pulling away a long tendril of pungent-smelling green ooze.
"I think you're going to have to throw them away," said Simon.
Marshall sighed. They were his favourite pair, and with that in mind, it had been stupid to venture into the muddy shallows of the duck pond behind town hall while wearing them. Then again, his only set of wellington boots had been destroyed by mud snakes three weeks ago, so perhaps it wouldn't have made a difference.
"At least we got to see the Thing in the Pond," he said sadly.
In truth, the Thing in the Pond had turned out to be a fairly run-of-the-mill sub-aquatic mass of eyes, teeth and tentacles, feeding on crusts of stale bread and teenagers who threw rocks at the water fowl that lived there. Only the fact that it surfaced once every three years set it apart from any one of a dozen similar entities that made Eerie's waterways their home.
"I got some good pictures of it attacking Nick and Eddie," said Simon, laying out a row of Polaroids. "I'm pretty sure they're crying in some of these."
Marshall laughed.

And I love that the Thing in the Pond, horrific as it is, isn't all that different from the normal things one finds in ponds in Eerie.

The Thing in the Pond is kind of like when you get a holographic Pokemon card but its a Weedle or something - sure, it;s shiny and therefore rare, but it;s still the same stupid big you run into everywhere
no subject
Mars should know better than to wear his good shoes, tho
love this
