We found Cord sitting on a pocket lip playing with a button. He didn’t look up which was good because I was staring gap mouthed.
“Cord!?” So much was wrapped into Glitter’s one utterance.
It found you?” His voice was rich and deep.
“Yes, is it hunting? Where did it come from?”
“Olivia found it on the front porch amongst old discarded items. It was like her dreams had been answered, but…” Cord never finished his sentence because he retreated into the impossible depths of the closet as a shadow fell over us.
“Shhh,” Glitter whispered. “It’s coming.”
We ran.

Prompt for this 100 word post is from 101 Writing Prompts, prompt #88.
I’ve just read all your posts from A to I. I’m intrigued to know what the shadow is. I like the image of Cord sitting on a pocket lip playing with a button.

Oh! This seems like a cool way to do the A to Z challenge! 100 word stories are hard, but fun. Good job with yours.
