Drabble 35: Myth.


It was rumored to have sharp claws, web-like wings like a bat, big round cat eyes, and a stub where its tail should be. It was thought to eat only the souls of lost wanderers in the forest. It was supposed to be the height of eighteen buckets stack end on end. Its voice was the volume of croak with the vibrancy of a scream. Its skin was smooth as the lake's surface and as orange as the setting sun. It could swim through the lake and not sink!

Ingrid thought it myth. She'd believe it when she'd seen it.
