I have a broad forehead, not a thick skull. When a mob chases me with torches and pitchforks, I get the hint. Savages!

Anyway, I like it better in my new town. Everyone seems friendly and unarmed. There is a grocery store I can walk to from my house, and I'm headed home to bake a cake for my neighbors.

What's this? An opportunity for a good deed! Yes, I'm very tall. I will get your kitty right down out of that tree.

That hurts, kitty! I'm helping you!

No, kitty! Don't run into traffic!

Little girl, wait!

Damn it.

No matter where you go, there you are.

"Everyone seems friendly and unarmed" is a great turn of phrase!! I may have to steal that sometime!

Even the best of intentions can go awry. I liked it. Frankenstein trying to make friends and failing. I wish though that you had incorporated the classic phil hartmann frankenstien quote "Fire Bad!"

strawman, that's true. You can never escape yourself for long, which is especially bad when you're your own worst enemy.

Thomas, Thank you. I was particularly proud of that line myself.

Flintknapper, I hadn't considered it. I wanted to make the monster clearly intelligent, but not obviously articulate. I omitted quotation marks altogether so that it would be unclear whether he is communicating adequately with these strangers. I'm not entirely convinced that was the right choice, though.

One of my fave drabbles. My brain added sound effects without prompting.

Screech! Bang! Face palm.

Lovely.

Yup, I agree. This one's adorable (if that's the right word for it).

Aww, thanks, everybody.

...And a fistbump for the kickass drabble. It's always nice revisiting old favorites, and of course rooting 'em on in the eternal drabble-derby.
