The Soot Monster Charter's Chilly Chambers, Room 3

The Soot monster crept through the long, irritating grass with his flattening smell following behind him. This cat shaped,soot covered monster quickly struck his beady eyes on his prey, which could smell his tasteless skin and quickly made a dash for his life. The creature ran after it as its dilapidated fur struck back to his skin. This dishevelled creature made me feel like a animal covered in dirt with nothing around me but tall, long trees.
