Lost Riffs - Day Two drabble: Ruined!
Couldn't resist joining the fun. Written for the Day Two Lost Riffs prompt at lostsquee (and am late posting, as usual - sorry!!).
~ Ruined! ~
It had been so perfectly arranged! Not a grain of sand, not a single trailing vine out of place. I'd worked so hard to make it beautiful.
The invisible harness tethers me to this restricted spot and I'm no longer free to consort with friends who best understand and adapt to my changing moods. But I'd found some measure of happiness in shaping this beach.
And now this flying obscenity has chosen my prison as its hatching ground. It's spread its mewling spawn along my carefully tended shoreline.
I will show them. I, too, know how to destroy. They'll curse their silvered mother for birthing them here.
They will fear me.
