Today’s prompt: Make a list of ten animals that could be your Muse. Circle the one that evokes the strongest reaction in you; positive or negative.
Write a scene in which you or a character has an interaction with this animal. At some point in the scene, the animal does something to change your emotional reaction to it. Either you first find it cute, and then disgusting. Or at first frightening, and then enchanting.
After the emotional switch, you get to ask the animal three questions. What will you ask? And what are the answers?
WT knocked over the can of nightcrawlers. Karly watched him pick up one. It had enough slime on it to fill a cup and looked big enough to feed a family of robins. It slipped out of WT's grip and wiggled on the ground. Karl'ys stomach coiled.
Karly watched a robin struggle to pull a nightcrawler out of the can. With the nightcrawler in the robin's beak, it flapped it's wings, but couldn't pull the nightcrawler out of the dirt. It was too long and strong. After several attempts the bird gave up, flew into the tree, began to scold. The nightcrawler slipped under the dirt.
