LordPeter List Literary Contest

Harriet's eyes goggled at the sight of the dancing floor. An elegant frog-like creature spun expertly with his dancing partner, which was, inexplicably, a large Chesterfield sofa.

Harriet shook her head as if to remind her brain just who was boss here, and took another sip of her drink. "Freeoww!" she muttered under her breath. It WAS like having her brains bashed out with a gold brick wrapped in a lemon slice. She had thought that was just artistic license. Harriet sipped again, several times, and watched the male and female creatures playing what seemed to be sort of a mating game around the edge of the dance floor. At least, she assumed they were males and females. It was hard to tell without a closer inspection, especially as her eyesight seemed to be so blurry all of a sudden.

"Ah, well," she said as her head lolled and she slipped gracefully under the table. "It is only a game. Freeoww!"
