RDP Thursday: THERE IS A REASON

I live in a State that proudly calls itself the home of the North American Bigfoot aka  Sasquatch.

I sort of wish that we could also claim to be the home of the Wendigo, but heck if you can claim one  cryptid as your State Fair’s Mascot you should go with it. Not everyone gets a monster of their own.

There is of course one reason that makes me wish we had more then one ‘maybe’ monster roaming the Olympic or the Cascade Mountain ranges

If all we have roaming the wilds of Washington state are bunnies and bears and butterflies and quiet Spirits that swim in the lakes and fly through the air,  maybe that means there is only a place for Mother Nature’s  beautiful offspring.

Between me and you,  I hope that there is at least monster- or two or three living out here in Washington state because

if there aren’t any monsters, if they don’t exist here in Washington state or anywhere else,  where do I fit in?

RDP:  Onomatopoeia

Photographer Unknown

Late last night

in my dark parlor bathed in silver moonlight

I heard

a

cough

and then I heard a

creak

and then I felt a

thump that made my floorboards jump under my feet.

 

I held my breath

I let it go

and as I did

something

 howled,

someone

growled

I put my hand over my chest.

Oh, be still my silly heart.

Our Werewolves have arrived for tea.

It Feels Like Rain

RDP Thursday: LIQUID

” It feels like rain today. ” I heard someone behind me say.

I was arranging the flowers at my Nan’s grave and as I worked I minded my graveyard manners and I didn’t turn around. I didn’t look up. I let the conversation behind me flow around me and passed me.

” Do you think so? I can’t feel a thing when the weather goes bad. I do get little twinges in my hands before it snows. ”

I stood up, I gathered up some scraps of faded ribbon and dusted my knees off.

I kept my eyes down and when I turned around I saw that I was alone.

” I’m telling you, ” I heard a muffled voice coming from my left , from below my feet. ” It’s going to rain. I can feel it in my bones. “

Goin’ To The Zoo

In 1963 behind  a set of sturdy iron bars at the Bronx Zoo In New York, USA was an exhibit featuring the most dangerous animal in the world.

All these years later this animal is  still the most dangerous animal in the world and the damage it’s done to it’s own kind, to other animals and the planet it self since 1963 is the stuff of nightmares.

 In 1963, the Bronx Zoo held quite a unique exhibit it’s name was “The Most Dangerous Animal In The World” and as you can see from the picture, the most dangerous animal is a human. They used a mirror so people could see their reflection and also added bars to represent a cage.
