The Monsters of Morley Manor
“When I first saw it, I thought it must be some kind of statue the waterpeople had made. But seconds after we cleared the edge of the cliff, the enormous beast rolled its huge eyeballs in their sockets, looked up at us, blinked twice, then opened its mouth.
Out shot a tongue that had to be at least a hundred feet long. Like a green ribbon of death, the tongue wrapped around the Wentar and pulled him into the creature’s mouth, so fast it was almost as if it hadn’t happened.
Panic exploded in my c...hest. Was this how I was going to die—swallowed by a giant frog on an alien planet?
I looked around frantically for Sarah. She was only a few feet from me. “Come on!” I cried. “Let’s get out of here.”
I reached for her hand—instinct, I guess, since it was actually a pretty silly thing to do: You can’t swim very fast while you’re holding hands.
“Wait!” ordered Chug-rug-frogbutt.
Right. Like I was about to wait so he could feed us to his master, or whatever this thing was.MoreLess
