Prompt 7

This being must have been at least 9ft tall, a body like a jaguar but scales like a snake and looked like neither. The scientist was starting to deeply regret choosing the one experimental journey that meant leaving their planet, leaving their solar system.

The being was prowling closer yet the scientist couldn’t seem to make their feet move beneath them. As what could only be described as a snout began to push against their sides shoving itself into the scientists coat pocket. With trembling hands they pulled out the contents of their pocket. Three skittles. One red and two yellow to be precise.

The being delighted in poking out its green tongue? And liking all of the skittles off of the scientist’s hand before swallowing them whole.

The scientist chuckled to themselves. “Gotta sweet tooth huh?” Th being let out something that could be described as a horses neigh before bolting off into the dense jungle like atmosphere.

The scientist stood there staring at where the being had run leaving trampled bushes and snapped twigs in its wake. “Yea,” the said to themselves. “Definitely a sweet tooth… never though I’d have something in common with an extra terrestrial.”
