Prompt: Elephant.

“Why is there an elephant in my room?!”

I poke my head around the corner to see Stacy staring into her bedroom, one hand on the doorframe and the other over her heart.

“What do you mean?” I ask, walking down the hall to join her. “Did Jon leave a stuffed elephant for you?”

I stop in front of her open doorway and my eyes practically bug out of my face. “Oh.”

“Yeah.” She takes a step back to stand beside me. “So you have no idea how it got in here?”

“Not a clue.”

The elephant suddenly lifts its trunk and snorts directly into our faces. Something wet and extremely disgusting lands on my forehead.

“EWWW!” Stacy whines.

I turn to see her covered in similar-looking gunk.

“Are we seriously covered in elephant snot right now?” I ask, screwing up my nose as I wipe my face with my sleeve.

Final Comments: I have no idea what happened in this one…
