Ellen stood on her toes as she reached for the glass jar on the highest shelf in the pantry. She groaned as she stretched further and her fingertips brushed against the cool glass of the jars on the shelf, feeling for the rough label of one particular jar.
She smiled as her fingers found what she was seeking. She grasped it and pulled it from the shelf and peered inside at the best of her collection.
She turned to leave the pantry. As she closed the door behind her small shouts of protest, angry, fluttering wings tapping on glass filled the darkening room.

Now what were those things that were protesting and angry? Another mystery left to the imagination. Well done.

Thank you. That is what I was hoping for, to leave a little mystery. 😀
Scary stuff. I love this kind of flash fiction. Are you going to do more?
I hope so. 😀
This makes me think of Poe. It’s that kind of creepy.
