365 Days of Eerie Indiana: Day 4: Drabble: Stand Off

The Riding Mower Dads hovered at the very edge of their lush green lawns, the air around them filling up with the grumble of an idling engine and the think fug of petrol fumes. Their eyes were hidden beneath the brim of their identical white bucket hats, but their mouths were set in a thin, tight line.

In the centre of the road, far from whirring blades and the well-aimed kicks of passing legs, the dogs sat. Tongues lolling, teeth exposed in a mocking canine grin. The Riding Mower Dads knew what came next. The dogs knew too.

All waited.

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Dietary Restrictions

The ghost cats thronged about the memory of their water dish, filling the air with the faint and melancholy tinkle of a dozen incorporeal collars.

Simon knelt among the chilly, purring mass, a box of kibble depicting a cartoon kitten in a long white shroud in one hand. Several of the ghost cats mewled in displeasure, and Simon gave them a reproving look.

"You know wet food doesn't travel to the afterlife," he said. "If you didn't want an eternity of Kitty Kat Spooky Snacks, you should have stayed away from the dog pound and away from Fifi and Fluffy."

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Misnomer

Fluffy's lips peeled back around long and yellow teeth and his ears lay flat against his skull. He could feel the growl reverberating in his chest, rumbling up his throat and emerging as a low, threating snarl.

"These humans truly are deceptive and mendacious creatures," he ground out.

Beside him, Fifi remained as outwardly composed as ever, though he could tell that inside she was vibrating with rage.

"Their time will come," she promised, her French accent turning the threat into something musical, even if it was the Imperial Death March. "We won't fall for this "human resources" treachery twice."

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Game Night

The centre of the large room was taken up by an enormous pile of bones, long stripped of their last vestige of meat and now pockmarked along the long axis by dozens of sets of canine teeth.

Around it sat the bulk of Eerie's canine population, ears up, tongues lolling, watching as a smaller group played a game of spillikins with the thighbones of various dogcatchers, cat lovers, and those children who had avoided death by milk-truck long enough to find themselves at the non-existent mercy of Fifi and her compatriots.

All tails thumped in anticipation, and the game progressed.

Eerie Indiana Drabble: Adoptables

Simon's gaze refocused, and his eyes darted back and forth as he clutched the two remaining unidentifiables to his chest.

Marshall sighed.

"Simon," he said. "Come on. It's a big cardboard box in the middle of a mushroom ring with 'free to a good home' written on the side. You can't keep them."

"I already named them," Simon whispered. "I didn't mean to, but the perfect names just popped into my head."

Marshall bit his lip.

Fairy adoption laws were far more arbitrary than those of the local humane society, even now the latter was run by militant child-eating dogs.

Eerie Indiana Drabble: A Spy?

The dog was huge, it's bulky shoulders taller than Simon or Dash, and only a little shorter than Marshall. It's head was broad, the muzzle short and blunt, and thick white and brown fur framed a face permanently set in a mournful expression.

It wagged a plumed tail as it trotted down Main Street, clutching it's own leash neatly between powerful jaws. Glimpses of a bright yellow reflective collar could just be seen through it's heavy coat, and a silver tag shaped like a cartoon bone dangled at it's chest.

Fifi and Fluffy watched it go, eyes dark with suspicion.
