Whizzzooop!

Jay wasn’t sure who was more startled:

Abby, the Groundling, Binny or himself.

The monster let out a loud, gasping, final

chortle as it let go of Abby and began to

shiver and quiver in front of them. Suddenly,

like a piece of warmed up jelly it collapsed and

shrank and dissolved into the sand.

“Get back you two,” Binny was yelling. He

leaped forward as Abby crumpled to the

ground just as the Groundling disappeared

into it.

But Jay was in charge now.

“It’s okay, Binny,” he shouted above the

storm. “We’re okay.”

Abby stood up. Her ordeal with the

Groundling had shaken her up.
