Killer Kale
Part 3
She dropped the greens in a hurry
sliding back on all fours
desperate to get away from the vegetable that she couldn’t have seen move
she was going crazy
that was the only logical solution
But somehow,
she knew,
this wasn’t one of the many times her mind had tricked her
making her believe something
that no one else believed
Throwing away the idea of being sneaky,
they advanced forward
showing their faces to the one that had ruined everything
she scrawled against the wall behind her
struggling to get away from the things moving towards her
Creeping their way towards her cowering form in a corner
they limped on their leaves
growing soggy from the ice that was once on them melting
in the heat of the inside
how could she stand this heat when she claimed to love the cold?
Then, the attack began
Leaves scratching
hands batting
a scream
a whimper
and then nothing
