Finish the story begins with: “At first, it looked like an ordinary marble, but it was far from it.”
Rick reached out a tentative finger towards the marble when there was a zap, a bang and an odd sounding crunch and Rick was no more.
Vanished.
There was something odd about this marble.
It sat on the ground in the spot from where Rick had vanished. I walked around it and noticed it turned to follow me.
Was it watching me?
What fate did it have for me?
I decided to gather it into a bucket so with shovel in hand I removed it surrounding dirt and all.

I immediately thought of a new form for the ‘blob’ – a new way to eat all humans, just offer a hand! Well done, loved this!
Thank you so much Yolanda, I greatly appreciate your comment and for stopping by.

Uh oh! I have a foreboding feeling about this! I will find out next week. 🙂 Great story Michael!

Thank you Roger, appreciate you stopping by.
When what? When what???
Well RoSy the heading for this challenge does say “finish the story?????’
Hmmm…
Great action and building of suspense in so few words. Really good story.
It’s like the horror/ghost movie where you say “Don’t open that door.” Don’t shake hands with marbles that have zapped your friend into non-existence.
Interesting and imaginative take on the prompt!
Looks like that marble, or whatever it is, collects people. I don’t think I’d get anywhere near it. Good story with humor, Michael.. Well done. 🙂 — Suzanne
Thanks Suzanne glad you enjoyed my take….
