Eerie Indiana Drabble: Now Serving

[froodle]

Poplio stood silhouetted against the rising sun, body butter-yellow and bulbous and almost completely obscuring the long, low bulk of the Eerieplex behind him.

The familiar cinema-going scents of burnt sugar, salted grease and old carpet that had lain too long in darkened rooms were still present, but buried beneath a new, more overpowering odour.

Sara Sue Haverstock had spent too long in her father's house to be put off by something as simple as a weird smell, but she'd also been there long enough to appreciate a cautious approach.

She sniffed again.

"Hot dogs or human remains," she decided.
