Wounded, far from home, crash-landed on this planet, I felt a chasm open up.
Flaring my optics into flame, I shut them down hurriedly. The light was too intense. My heart throbbed, flopping on the dirt, hanging by a thread.
Would I never see Ztruthnutzhehaasszz!%$^ again? “Nooo!” screamed my belly, wherein lay the shining gem my mother had implanted when I was born in her back-sack. I wept copiously, my springs watering the strange pointed blades that emitted oxygen, almost too rich to bear.
A four-pawed creature, horrible breath emanating from a long-snouted, fanged opening, noted me.
The fangs descended.

Thank, as always, to Fairy Blog-Mother, Rochelle Wisoff-Fields, for hosting Friday Fictioneers! Thanks, also, to Madison Woods for this truly terrible picture!
P.S. I was away for the past two weeks prior to this one, so I missed the last two story prompts alas! I’m quite addicted to Friday Fictioneers.
