THE BLOB
I woke from bed and walked out of my sun-dazzled room. As I got ready that morning I heard a tapping noise. I opened the kettle and POW! A clear, light-blue blob of water jumped out. It had no legs and a snail-like body. Its head had small indents.I was absolutely speechless. I tried to grab it but my hands went straight through it. Suddenly it jumped off the bench and SPLATT, all over the floor. It made a sucking noise and sucked itself up into some shape and scrambled out the door, where the dogs chased it away. I never saw it again!
