Eli's Struggle Flash Story

Flash Story 12/7/2015

                “Faster, faster, I gotta keep running,” I think to myself as I slide across the kitchen floor. I turn down the hallway and fly into the bedroom. Glancing around, I jump onto the bed and head towards the window. “Ah! Its blocked by the headboard!! Quickly, quickly.” Speeding back down the hallway, I race towards the balcony door. The silly screen is closed! Silly humans! How am I supposed to get away! Running behind the couch I spot my salvation. My tower. Barely touching the first ledge, I launch myself up, up, up. Finally, I’m safe. Wait! It’s still after me. I spin and spin but I can’t catch it. I hear my human yelling at me, telling me to stop attacking my tail. What is this tail? This creature is stalking me. I must catch it or get away. I paw, claw, and bite at it and just can’t seem to get it. One day, one day soon.
