The Proglet

Sitting in the scorching sun, I stared longingly with my huge brown eyes, it was like torture. Then I saw the first sign of life… An endangered animal! “Wow…” I whispered under my breath.

With black, lonely eyes, The Proglet looked curiously around him, as if he had no idea where he was, just like me. He resembled a pig- sniffing snout, mud covering his skin as if he had just got out of a puddle. Unusually, it had poisonous green, warty skin just like a toad. I drew closer… and closer… closer still… until he leapt at me, his webbed feet clinging to me like slime! I looked into its eyes, my reflection stared back at me, it was a mirror.
