Magnanimous Feet Winner!!

Rouge Wavers, the votes are in and the people have spoken. The winner of the Magnanimous Feet Competition, with twenty four votes is Lee, with Magma Mouse.

SUBMISSION NUMBER ELEVEN by Lee - 24 votes!!
The children dive toward their special hideaway refuges. Hitomi and Megumi run from the demonic mouse as its tiny feet begin to glow bright orange and ooze magma, leaving burned footprints as he gives chase. Megumi: How miserable are we, fleeing the evil Magma Mouse. Hitomi: I am emotionally unstable but I must escape this fire demon in the shape of a household rodent. The creature, terrorizing the children, jumps off an embankment and lands on his Magma Mouse feet. The flower garden beneath his feetbursts into flames.

Here are the other finalists:

SUBMISSION NUMBER SEVEN by Robin: twenty votes
She loved him. Always had. Worshipped the voice, smooth and deep like a silky trombone. Dreamt of his four armed embrace under the purple moons. How long? Since the days they terrorized children in the sea. Inky waters now dead.That was then. Right now, she had never felt so alive.Sex was in the air.His beauty made her fur moist. Other creatures cooed about what his magnanimous feet meant. Soon she would know.

SUBMISSION NUMBER SEVENTEEN by Steverino - eighteen votes
EXT. ALLEY - NIGHTFOOT and WATSON stand on either side of KAREN's naked body, which glows like alabaster from blood loss and the full moon shining on it. FOOT: I'd say she had a night of it. WATSON: I'd say...

SUBMISSION NUMBER EIGHTEEN by Hanji - sixteen votes
Creature gives chase with
His willing, generous hands,
Magnanimous feet

SUBMISSION NUMBER ONE by Geena - eight votes.
The creature waits for vulnerable prey. Body aches to the bone, legs weary of this hunt. Insatiable pathological lust for children consumes the creatures mind.Two children chase one another into the meadow. Primal hunger overtakes body, the creature leaps from the embankment.An ankle jarring thud startles the children. Prey within grasp the creature rises with magnanimous feet.

SUBMISSION NUMBER THREE by Sam - eight votes
...a creature, terrorizing some children, jumps off an embankment and lands on his magnanimous feet. POP. POP. POP. Rapid shots from a sniper rifle echo. The children stop and look up, past the fallen creature, and spy in the distance ---- a towering oak tree. A gunmetal FLASH in the leafy branches catches the sunlight. The creature, leaking a viscous, purplish blood, gives his final groan. Bulbous yellow eyes freeze in a ghastly stare.

CUT TO:
INT. AUTOPSY ROOM -- NIGHT
Under a crisp white sheet, the hulking form of the dead creature stretches the length of a gurney. Exposed, a pair of enormous, gnarled FEET...

SUBMISSION NUMBER FIFTEEN by Eric - six votes
The creature walked up the stairs,with a magnanimous glare. He opened his door, with a magnanimous roar. Oh what a feat, to brush those magnanimous teeth. And with much flair,he did comb his magnanimous hair. The creature was beat, dragging around those magnanimous feet. He crawled into bed, to rest his magnanimous head. Pulled the covers, up over his magnanimous blubber. Then set his alarm clock, with his magnanimous…. Oh damn, can’t think of a word that rhythms with clock.

Thank you everybody for contributing some really clever riffs on a completely absurd word pairing and somehow making it work. Lee can contact the Wave-inatrix to collect his prize.
