Trifextra Entry #3 – How Bad Could He Be?
* * * * * * * * * *
“Seriously, what the hell’s wrong with you? That beast would eat our kid in one bite.”
“Aww, Stephen. He’s a St. Bernard. They’re trained to rescue people. And Tad really wants a dog.”

Milo could take Cujo any day of the week.
Good Kitty.
OldDogNewTits 
one word . . . CUJO
🙂
And this was the movie that came on after Amityville Horror (from my other comment). That is wild!
Well done!
Fun! Creepy, blood-stained dog kind of fun.
How can those eyes NOT be cute? Milo is adorable! (BTW, I’m not sure if you saw my reply to your comment, but I did explain my post a bit more… It was indeed too vague).
Poor hoodie. 😦
Okay, sorry, I didn’t know who Tad is. Or Cujo. Now I know. Now I feel like such a dork. Sorry! (Blush).
Okay, but did you at least get the “Stephen” reference? 🙂
Okay, I’m risking making more of a fool of myself, but no. I came to the US the year after the book was published, and wasn’t speaking fluent English until after the movie came out. Then I never caught up on that era, so I am only familiar with King’s later works. Had I caught the “Stephen” reference, I probably would have figured out the rest. But no, I had to go make a moronic clown of myself on the internet. =)
You are far from a clown. That’s impressive. If I tried to enter a writing contest anywhere but America, it would be ME who looked like a clown.
And possibly even when I do it here. :-z
🙂
Yea, Stephen!! It’s cute!! 🙂
Poor Cujo. I always felt so bad for that dog.
A victim of circumstances …
Completely. He was just being a dog when he got bitten and got the rabies. When the rabies got a personality, Cujo became that much more the helpless victim.
I have a firmly held fear of animals who yawn the size of my head.
I’ve lived in the US my entire life and have never read a Stephen King novel, nor seen one of his movies, so I didn’t catch the references either. (This should make Sandra feel better…but it doesn’t do much for my own self-esteem ;))
I would choose the cat, anyway!
They’re not all worthy reading/seeing? (Sorry, Mr. King.) But Misery??? If you haven’t experienced that one, I highly recommend exposing yourself to it.
Janna, THANK YOU for “outing yourself” to make me feel better! I had a near anxiety attack after I realized what I had done. =) I was actually planning on reading King’s newest book (11/22/63) as soon as I finish Mockingjay. I’ll put Misery on my to-read list as well.
And then see the movie. Kathy Bates was excellent.
This is one of the few that really made a seamless transition between the prompt text and your own 33 words. Very nicely done!
I love this … and St Bernard dogs. Nothing terrifying about them, unless you have a pool. Apparently when you have a pool and a St Bernard, the pool gets neglected. Great piece.
Shudder! Very evocative use of 33 words.
