This week’s Six Sentence Sunday offers offers the opening of a story you can read right now, “Billy’s Monster” from Hellfire Lounge 2: Rat Pack Redux. If you like your horror with a big helping of humor and fun, this is the book for you. I haven’t posted my usual information slug on the main page only because resizing the cover is giving me grief. The delay is killing me, too. In addition to great stories by C.J. Henderson, Danielle Ackley-McPhail, KT Pinto, Robert Waters and our fearless editor (and he has to be!) Rick Allen Leider, the book features a fabulous cover by Ben Fogletto and amazing interior art by Ed Coutts, Ben Fogletto, Denny Fincke, Jason Whitley and Paul London. (Face it, I’m all about the pictures. :D)
“Billy’s Monster”
Billy was six years old when he brought home a monster. It had sharp, pointed teeth all around its mouth like a possum. Two rows of three stubby horns each grew from its forehead. Its spotted feathers were as soft as bunny fur, and it churred when Billy rubbed its tummy and fingered the satiny leather of its wings.
Billy’s parents didn’t know what to make of it. But it wasn’t too big, and they never did see a creature better at catching the mice and other varmints around the farm.
I want a monster to catch rodents! 😉 Cute six.
Me, too. 😀 Glad you liked it.
Hey Joel I didn’t know it was bring your kids to the pool day! (I know we are dorks) but how funny that was sort of a picture of thgnis to come! And yes you and your sister make some pretty cute little kiddos!
“…it churred when Billly…” I love this! Great description. I love the cover of the book, too! Great six, Jean Marie. 🙂
Thanks, K.E.!
loved the verb ‘churred’!! methinks this monster will grow! Nice 6!
Great Dane puppies are cute too, but they do get big! I’m wondering if that’s what will happen with this little pet. Good opening that makes me want to read more.
Thanks, Sandy. Yes, the monster does get big, but he always loves Billy after his fashion.
Adorables!
Thanks, Stephanie!
Great six!
Thanks! I hope it gives the flavor of the story.
