It was down on the bayou where I found him, the little blue guy. He was hurt real bad, and I could hear him screaming from clear up on the ridge. His screams sounded more like fingernails against a blackboard than a voice. At the time, I didn’t know what it was making that horrible noise, but I had to find out, so I walked down the ridge and into the swamp. It was in a grove of cattails that I found him.

His body was light blue, almost gray, and around his neck he wore a chain holding a topaz crystal inside a glass amulet of some kind. I couldn’t tell his height at first because he was sitting in the water, leaning his head against a clump of reeds. He turned his head to look at me, and the blackboard screeching stopped. Each one of his two big eyes looked like the dome light in my truck, all shiny like that. He had a little mouth and two tiny slits where his nose should be. He just looked at me and slowly blinked those big dome lights, but he didn’t say anything.

It sounds interesting, sort of like ET in a redneck sort of way. (No disrespect to the rednecks that live here on Hatrack )

I like the voice that the narrator has. I'd definitely read more of this.

When do you need it back? It might take a few days but I'll get it back to you. My email's above. Send away.
