NOTE: Every now and then during the month of October, I will be posting a very brief short story with a Halloween or Horror theme. If that’s not your cup of tea, please feel free to move along.
Sergei was a man who feared no man. Neither did he fear wind, storm, or things that go bump in the night. He did not fear to walk through the valley of the shadow of death, either, for he knew he was the meanest SOB in that valley. So it came as something of a surprise when a lonely little lamb ambled up to him one day to bid him good morning.
Sergei was not accustomed to any person offering him greetings, let alone a fuzzy little lamb, so he stopped in his tracks, stared straight into the face of the wooly critter before him and asked, “What the heck do YOU want?” His response was more of a sneer than a question, but the lamb took no notice of that and answered, “Nothing more than to offer you a good day, my brother.”
Sergei was an only child. He had no brothers or sisters, cousins, or kin of any sort, so he prepared to bite off the head of the wee one who dared speak to him as he made his way through the dark valley upon which he was stomping. Before he took his first bite, though, the lamb spoke one more time, with timorous voice, “If you would let me pass, dear sir, I will grant you one wish, after which you may do with me what you will.”
“I wish you would fill my tummy with your delicious self,” howled Sergei with delight. “I have outsmarted you, you scrawny white Brillo pad!”
“As you wish,” replied the lamb, upon which time she blinked three times and -- poof -- transported herself immediately into Sergei’s belly, whereupon she began to feast on him from the inside out!
It appears the lamb had pulled the wool over Sergei’s eyes! Bwah ha ha!!!
