Trifextra – Week Ninety-One – A Creature In the Fountain

Here we go with another Halloween themed Trifextra, number 91.

. Thirty years ago, Roald Dahl published the book Dirty Beasts, a collection of poems for children about weird and wonderful animals. The last poem, however, is called The Tummy Beast about a boy who thinks there’s someone living in his belly. Your Trifextra challenge is to write 33 words on a beast in an unusual place. No swamps or forests or caves, we really want you to take your beast out of its comfort zone. – See more at: http://www.trifectawritingchallenge.com/#sthash.MwIzO4Wm.dpuf

The Creature from the Black Lagoon stared at the city fountains. EPA do-gooders had drained his home. The search had been too long. He could smell himself. Clean water would have to do.
