A mottled brown green was the toad that confronted Alex, standing 6 inches high on his four feet. The horror was that he didn’t always crouch so but could become bipedal, walking around like a troll of some kind. Alex had seen something like it before, moving through his garden when the moon was full, standing erect and croaking in the moonlight to be answered by other voices from the woods and the nearby pond.

Thad had smiled when he’d told him and said that Alex could stay the night with him. It was as good excuse as any and there was but the one bed in the small cottage where one thing led to another with the light filtering through the draperies over the rumpled sheets. Slick sweat coated their bodies, easing the dance of rhythmic movement. If Alex felt teeth biting down on his shoulder, pinning him for the plundering, his response was to groan and tighten around Thad where he intruded, later waking replete to moisture ripe night air filtering through the open house. Through the window the moon shown and in the horror filled mirror Alex beheld himself, stood, then croaked in answer to Thad outside.
