Prodigy
By Scott L Vannatter – 100 words
He had walked so very far to get here. Now, as he looked at the pretty houses and close quarters, he grew listless. Only the overcast brought a smile to his eyes. His eyes, those eyes with the deep green glitter, shining like a small star, they defined him. He brought his hand up, holding the bag with the animal sacrifice within. The clouds began to move in tight circles and the darkness grew a tiny bit more. His smile grew, too. Traveled so far, sacrificed so very much, now, he was here. This was Salem, after all. He laughed.

Cool and chilling. He reminds me in a way of Stephen King’s antagonist Andre Linoge from Storm of the Century.
