Here it is..
The Mess.
She ran across the floor, nimbly dodging the unusual objects lying all over the floor. Her nose twitched as she caught the scent of glorious food. She stopped and looked around, trying to find where the scent was coming from. Her little tongue darted out and wet her lips, tasting the aroma in the air.
It smelled like food, something that she could eat. Her little shoulders relaxed with the idea that she can nourish her young ones. She slowly started making her way to where the scent was wafting. She glanced around to make sure no one is watching, as she doesn’t want anyone to see her.
“I have to watch out for the weird monsters. I can’t let them catch me,” she told herself. She paused for a moment, remembering grampy. He’d gone out to get food one day and had never returned. The family didn’t talk about it, but they all knew that he was gone. The monsters had gotten him.
She continued to pick her way over the hills and valleys making up the floor. Suddenly, a soft abnormal fur-like cloth floated down over her body. Her body froze, trying to make herself invisible.
“Oh, god. Hold still. Just hold still. Maybe they will go away.” She repeated her mantra, listening for any sounds around her. She felt the floor shake, again and again. Finally the earth stood still enough for her to start making her way out from underneath whatever it was that was draped over her. It took her what seemed like an eternity, as she was not a strong being and the covering weighed more than what she was used to.
Her limb finally pushed through, followed by the rest of her exhausted body. Her chest was heaving from the effort it had taken to get and the adrenaline of almost being caught. Her eyes were shining with excitement. She glanced around quickly to make sure she was all alone. She soon caught the scent of the splendid food and began making her way again. Her small eyes were flicking all over the place, making sure the way was safe.
She finally reached her destination, a flat object with wonderful piles of food just waiting to be pilfered. She had never seen this kind of grub before, but her mouth was watering with the anticipation of eating it all.
She loaded up with her precious cargo and began making her way back to her home. Her eyes once again darting back and forth around the room, keeping ever watchful of her surroundings. As she scuttled along, she caught the smell of something else. Something intoxicating. She dropped her load, and dashed towards the smell, ignoring all around her. As she approached, she saw what had caught her attention. This food she recognized. This was their ambrosia.
As she tried to step closer, her leg wouldn’t move. She glanced down and realized she was stuck. She was standing on something very sticky, and the more she struggled the more she couldn’t move. Her body was moving and twisting frantically to get away. She had to get home; her babies needed her now more than ever. Winter was coming and they wouldn’t be able to feed themselves. There was no one else to help them.
She kept her body moving for hours, trying to break free of the hold. She grew more and more thirsty, her tongue getting more and more dry.
She tried biting at her legs, trying to get them free. Maybe she could chew them off, maybe that would get her free. She accidentally licked the sticky substance that was holding her down. It tasted awful and made her body feel bizarre. As she tried to stand up from her task, she realized that she could no longer move her body. She started to cry out, hoping that someone, anyone could save her.
As time went by, her cries became weaker and weaker, until finally she didn’t make another sound.
The light around her faded to black, as she closed her eyes one last time.

“Shelly, you really have to clean up this mess!” Darla yelled down the hall, “Stop throwing your clothes all over the floor. Don’t you remember that we have people coming over tonight?”
“Yes MOTHER,” Shelly sarcastically replied as she walked towards the living room, “I will get to work on that right now.”
Shelly started picking up the clothes, as she knew her roommate would be all over her if she didn’t. They were strewn over the floor, and took awhile to get them all into the clothes hamper she dragged from her room. She then started picking up her dirty dishes that she had been to lazy to take into the kitchen.
“YEWWWW!” She screamed.
“What now? Did you find a spider?” Darla enquired.
“I told you not to get those fucking glue pads for the mice. It finally caught one. The poor thing is just stuck there.”
“I told you keep this clean, didn’t I?” Darla snickered. “I’ll let you clean it up too!”
I accept any and all criticism. Go ahead guys pick me apart. I can take it
P.S. this is based on a true story that happened at work yesterday.....*shiver*
