My story
"In the Kappa's Garden" is up at
Reader's Realm as part of their October Flash Fiction Contest. You can read it
here. (Don't forget to comment, please.) A kappa is a creature from Japanese folklore that inhabits ponds and rivers. It's a trickster figure with a malevolent streak whose antics range from harmless pranks to drowning children. The legends of the mythical kappa likely find their real-world antecedent in the Japanese Giant Salamander.
I love Japanese Mythos! (they have some of the weirdest creatures) I'll definitely read and comment on your story. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for reading. The real giant salamander is rather weird too. I think they're around four feet long.
DeleteGreat stuff; kappas are cool creatures. I shall head on over for a read.
