Me and You by Kamsy

 

Determination is a wrong word for the neighbours to describe John as he focused on the small hole. He brushed his teeth in front of it. He ate his morning food staring at it.  He shoved his afternoon meal aside. His mother had given up shouting.

"John leave that place!"

"John come and play rubber with us!"

"No, I will stay here today."

" Ah ah, is rubber o!"

"I know. Go and play. Go and play!"

He squinted at the hole. "Is me and you today."

He saw it poke it's head out and pull back in.  He sprang up and hid by the side, waiting.

"Where is it now?"

He felt a tap on his clean cut head.  He rolled up his eyes and saw it smirking at him with its whiskers and tiny eyes.

"Ahhhhhhhhh,  is on my head,  is on my head o!"

He ran out screaming like a little boy that he was.

The creature posed at the door of it's hole,  daring John to come back.
