Clickety Clack - Fiction

---

A nice animal that lives by conversing with humans, it has 4 legs and is blue and who lives on a candy planet, where there are only two-horned flying unicorns.

It had a head, like a human, except it had two large ears and a long, narrow snout. Its face had no mouth, just a pair of eyes.

A pair that could be either green or red. There was no nose. Instead, there was an ear, which could move . The ears were the same color as the rest of it, though, as well as two small horns.

These horns could grow to a length of about 2.5 inches.
This was not a creature that was particularly intelligent, or even that much like humans.

In fact, the head of this creature had an expression that reminded me of someone who was very upset, even though it did not appear to understand that it should be upset.

But it seemed very unhappy. So I thought that maybe it might be a .

Then, when it spoke, I realized that what it said was "I have been waiting for you for a very long time. You have no idea how long."

I had been expecting a little something, a "Thank you," or a smile, perhaps a nod. Not the kind of thing that a person might say after a thousand years of waiting.

"Well, then," I said. "I am very sorry that you have waited so long. If I may, please, take me to the place I have come to."

They looked me over, taking in every detail. Then they took me by the arm and led me away from the bureaucrats, out of their offices.

We walked through the corridors of a large, sprawling city, down the main street and up a side street. At the very top was an open plaza. On the plaza was the largest statue I'd ever seen.

One of those statues of some kind that were made of stone. A man, maybe a god, stood at its feet, looking at me with his hands on his hips, his eyes wide open.

He was smiling.

His mouth opened and closed several times. When he finally opened his mouth again, there were tears in his eye. He was crying and shaking and I couldn't see his face. He looked at his feet and then looked up at us again.

We stood in silence for some time before he spoke.

In his own words, he said "My name is Clickety Clack . You are who you are."

The man was tall, almost as tall as I am. With a beard, which I didn't know at first, then noticed that the man had the face of an old man.

That he had wrinkles around his forehead, eyes and mouth. "I'm not a God," he said. "I don't have any power. You are free to leave. Go. Do what you want."

He turned to go, still looking down at my feet. As I walked away, he turned back and said "You can do what I say, or else I will kill you",

Then i leave from clickety clack.
