May 2024 Drabble Challenge: "Sprung"
Using exactly 100 words, tell me a prose story. This month's interpretation is wide open, but somehow stick to the topic / idea of "Sprung." Spring, sprung, hung, bouncy, end-of-wintery, whatever. Horror? Sure, ok. Porn? Hell, let's see what you got. Mechanical mania, machines awakened by the passing of an infectious comet? Overdrive it, baby, to the maximum. The only rules here are standard English grammar and punctuation and a word count of exactly 100 words. I'll pick a winner sometime after June 1 and before July gets here, probably.
A shadow of Flame
Moonlight’s shadow darkened the world beneath him, scattering all manner of life that feared what may come for the wearied. But today, pray was not Moonlight’s forethought. Today, his shadow encircled two unwanted guests whom strayed too far into his homeland. Unaware of who was watching their movements, their wing-beats drew them deeper within his grasp. Moonlight looked up to where Crimson was drifting at the edge of the scenery. The two predators locked eyes and acknowledged the visitors impending lesson. With the practice of a hundred moons, Moonlight and Crimson carved sky and wind as they plunged as one.
