Flashfic: From The Depths
Mar. 21st, 2011 02:11 pmIn the interest of actually posting something here, I requested prompts this morning, and hope to do a couple (hugely unedited) Flashfic posts this week.
This prompt comes care of Lanna, who suggested A group of survivors recounting to the military what the hell happened when the Very Large Monster rose out of the lake and began to stomp all over downtown Toronto. Mostly I made jokes about the Jays.

From The Depths
They mobilize the military in Toronto once every couple of years. It’s always in the winter when it happens, and always because of snow. It’s not that Torontonians are surprised to get snow in winter in Canada…it’s just that they very quickly run out of places to put it.
( So it’s not completely untoward to see the army on the streets. )

Notes: Not really my thing, I think. No more crazy disaster stories for me. Well, none that don't involve a dragon anyway.
Tomorrow: Dragons!
