Alphabet Acrostic Short Story
Alphabet Acrostic Short Story
By Cassie H.
At 2 o’clock one afternoon, a fluffy kitten slipped under a gate that led to a beautiful garden.
Bunnies hopped about in the sunshine.
Colorful flowers grew in big bunches or climbed up the stone walls.
Dancing daffodils tickled the kitten’s pink nose.
Enjoying her discovery, the kitten bounced into a clump of catnip.
Finally, after much frolicking, she stopped to take a rest.
Green moss was a perfect place to lie down for a snooze.
How long the she was asleep, she did not know.
It was a strange feeling she woke up to.
Jumping bunnies and fluttering butterflies had disappeared.
Killer dogs lurked in the shadows.
Leaping to her feet, the kitten tried desperately to get away.
Madly running about, she tried to find the gate to freedom.
Nobody could help her now as the monstrous dogs were cornering her.
Over the wall the kitten jumped with all her strength, leaving the snapping jaws behind her.
Perplexed and confused, she found herself surrounded with baskets of bread.
Quail ran around her, pecking at the baskets and driving away anyone who came near; this included the kitten.
Running again, she tried to find her way back to the peaceful garden.
Strange things followed as the kitten tried to find something familiar.
The bizarreness would not end!
Under a bush, she found a small hole, which she crawled through.
Vibrant light surrounded her, and she was relieved to be back in heavenly pleasure.
Whatever had happened, the kitten learned that even the things that seem perfect have its flaws.
Xylophones playing by themselves had been a little too scary for an innocent kitten.
Yellow sunshine accompanied her to the gate and flowers waved goodbye.
Zephyrs blew in from the west and ruffled the kitten’s fur as she slipped back under the gate.
