My response to the unofficial Triond Forum Writing Challenge – Round 6, in which something is to be written using LEAF and SILENT TONGUE.
This was it. This was the reason I went on this perilous journey. This was the only way I could win back the love of my life from a man with more money, style, muscle, intelligence, wit, hair, and compassion. I took no pause and rushed deep into the womb of the gaping cave. There at its end, perched before a cervical looking mound was a giant skull peering back at me. It had pink diamonds embedded in its eye sockets, and green rubies filled its nose cavity. I knelt down and French kissed the demon skull. Instantly the jaw snapped shut, grasping my tongue in a vice like grip. I screamed and tried to pull away but I could not. I struggled and thrashed and it seemed like the whole cave was vibrating with me. Rocks began to tumble from the roof and dust bellowed all around me. All I could see were those pink diamond eyes that seemed to glow with a fire of unresolved lust and which held me in utter contempt. I pulled and pulled and eventually the skull let me go and without the slightest hesitation I sprinted out of the cave as it collapsed behind me in a giant crashing moan.
I had barely survived with my life. I was covered in dust and debris so I licked the dirt from my face and behind my ears – licked! I couldn’t believe it. My tongue was now well over twelve inches long and had incredible muscular dexterity. I could even hold sticks and throw rocks with it. I had it seemed been granted the gift of the silent tongue. I could return home and again reclaim the love of my woman and hold the power of envy over all my small tongued brethren. I would from this time forward be known as The Licking God Duff D Onkalarkarage.
