"Oh, I don't think I will," the goblin said, grinning wide, very pleased with itself for this find: Two sweet, tender boys to take back home to its master.
Eddie shuddered, disgust constricting his throat, but then he caught Jamie's eyes flickering towards the cabinet, and he knew he couldn't let himself get too worked up over how the thing looked, or smelled, or what it clearly wanted to do to them.
His own eyes darting around, Eddie's focus was drawn by a heavy bottomed cookie sheet sitting on the counter by the stove, just within reach. Lunging for it, he grabbed it with both hands, and without stopping to reconsider what it was about to do, he swung it hard at the goblin, aiming for the side of its head.
The flat side of the metal pan hit with a metallic wobble, knocking the goblin onto its side with an angry shriek, its spear clattering to the linoleum floor. For one joyous second, Eddie thought it might land within his reach, but instead, it rolled across the floor, coming to a stop wedged beneath the industrial refrigerator.
