Tiny And Red

I have a secret ability. I can shrink down to almost any size! There’s just one catch…. I become bright red and anything living I walk past turns red. I’m invisible, but only around other red things. 

I was being stalked and hunted the other day by two enormous men. I can only imagine what they wanted. I had nothing I was carrying. I shrunk down to any size. I could hear their booming voices shouting and asking where I had gone and what just happened. 

I was hiding behind a flower when I heard the words I dread most. 

Hey what’s that? What’s that strange red trail? 

Is it blood? 

No. It’s flowers…. And it’s moving. 

To my relief, they were so freaked out, they booked it. Had they been a bit more curious, it would have been nothing for them to squish me. 

Safe. For now.
