A/N: I wrote this for my exam. My friend was surprised that the teacher didn't leave a comment.
Yeah I know. I'm crazy.
I felt a lump in my throat as I watched the creature wolf down my lunch. I rubbed my eyes, trying to deny what I saw, but it was still there. The strange creature looked like a goat standing on its hind legs with a cape tied around its neck. It kept making strange sounds as it picked through my spaghetti.
'There's a monster in my house and it's eating my lunch!' My mind screamed in alarm, not sure whether I should panic over the presence of a monster or my disappearing lunch first. Being me, I opted for lunch.
"Hey, you there! What do you think you're doing with my lunch?" I shouted, stepping out from my hiding place while pointing an accusing finger at the creature. I trained my eyes on its eerie eyes, trying to intimidate it.
It looked at me for a while, then shrugged. "I was hungry," it bleated. Slurping up the last of the spaghetti, it grinned. "Thanks for the lunch." It bowed clumsily. "The name's Valentino."
"I don't care what your name is! I want my lunch! Pay me or I'll cook you!" I went into a frenzy, grabbing it bu its neck and shaking it silly. "I want lunch! Now!" It had been an awful day for me, missing the bus, forgetting homework, stepping in mud, on writer's block... and now this! I am not putting up with this, no!
"R-release me first... H-help, Lorenzo...!" Valentino wheezed. Only then did I realise I was choking it. I quickly let it go and watched as it breathed in oxygen.
"Don!" Someone crashed through the kitchen door while shouting. I gaped at his appearance. His head was covered with a sack which looked like a pillow, complete with buttons for eyes. He ran to Valentino and tried to soothe it.
"Lorenzo! I ate this fella's lunch and he choked me!" Valentino complained, motioning to me. "Finish him off!"
"Yes, of course." Lorenzo turned to me. I could not see his face, but I could sense his aura. Does this guy really want to kill me? I... I just wanted lunch!
Lorenzo whipped out a ten-ringgit bill at me, and I caught it without thinking. He nodded as if we had a deal, then turned to Valentino. "Let's go, before the police gets here."
"Okay." Valentino grinned, then took off running. The two of them ran out through the kitchen door and out of my life, hopefully.
I sighed and slumped down in a chair. "What was that...?" I shook my head in amazement. I stood up again, then shuffled to the refrigerator. 'Might as well get something else for lunch,' I thought, opening the door.
The cool breeze breathed at me. The refrigerator was void of food. I stared at the empty refrigerator. Impossible! I just stocked up on food yesterday!
I muttered helplessly under my breath as I flipped through the advertisement booklet, looking for Domino's. Talking goats and disappearing food... I should get some sleep after lunch.
A/N: There you go! In case you're wondering about the ringgit, it's the currency here in Malaysia :D
This essay got a 40/50... Not bad right ehehe
Hope you enjoyed it :)
