fiction - brigits_flame - drabble - "rocking"

[hwango]

The rocking of the ship gradually returned to normal, for which I was extremely grateful - the giant squid's last attack had nearly capsized us. Amid all of the shouting, cannon fire, and splintering wood no one seemed to be paying me even the least attention. Eventually, the squid seemed to get the message and it drifted away to the cheers of the crew.

Not the most auspicious start to a mission.

Don't get me wrong, I appreciated that it only wanted to rescue me from the humans that it assumed had taken me prisoner. But it almost blew my cover.

You are a welcome sight! I have missed your cleverness around these parts. And don't think I don't appreciate how tough it is to fit it all into 100 delicious words. Well done, and so good to see you!

A nice and helpful giant squid! Though now I am imagining a non-giant squid undercover as a human. Seems a bit ... unlikely. (I am also imagining my favorite armor-plated squid.)
Um, yay drabble yay hwango!

Well, nothing says it's a squid that's undercover...it just has to be an ally of giant squid. It's too late now, though - now I can only picture it as a squid in a terrible human disguise.

Ha! My work here is done. *bows and exits*

Oh, sneaky sneaky narrator. I love that it's short and simple, but it's got a real strong punch there at the end. Great read!
