Still Alive

Happy April Fools Day everyone! No, my latest story update with Iridescence isn't a prank. After a full year on hiatus, I'm back in action and have done an extensive rewrite on chapter 5.

To try and help make up for the wait, here's a preview of the upcoming chapter 6:

For the fifth time since I had started on my breakfast, my hand dashed out to prevent the milk carton from being tipped over. An entirely too mischievous chirp was the only response as a pair of almost disconcertingly large blue eyes peeked out over the rim of the carton then dashed back down again.

I firmly moved the carton of milk to the other side of the table, eliciting a squeak as I revealed her hiding spot. Her chitinous legs scrabbled against the hard surface of the table as she ducked behind a box of cereal, nearly tripping as she went.

The seconds passed in silence, and then the cereal box began to tip forward ever so slowly, accompanied by a giggle. I stuck one finger out to keep it in place as I ate, smiling at the frustrated noise that followed and the sudden increase in resistance as she tried putting all of her miniscule weight into trying to topple it.
