The doors closed,
The room became hushed,
Everything was ready.
Ripples disturbed the surface
Shadows swirled beneath.
The pool held a secret.
Whoever entered would never age.
Fed to The Beasts,
They never came out alive.

About pensitivity101
I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes! We have an elderly dog called Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
Wow, an interesting story
Wow. Brilliant Di.
Thanks Lorraine
hi Di.
I linked you.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thanks Rochelle. I’m still having problems but Maria is looking into it for me again.
Being eaten is one way of never aging. Not the one I’d chose
🙂 Me neither. I’ll grow old gracefully!
Entering and never ageing… only to be fed to the beast. Is there a warning sign on the outside of the door? 😉
The secret of eternal youth?
Right. All an illusion, apparently.
Well, that is indeed one way to avoid aging.
Quite the local swimming pool! The beasts will be well fed 🙂
Oh yes!
A scary story, Di. No wonder they never aged. Well written. —- Suzanne
