My childhood in the 80s/early 90s was filled with watching a lot of straight to video small creatures/aliens that attack horror movies.  They don't seem to write those movies anymore.  Luckily Daniel Russell seems to be have been a bit of fan of the genre, as Fluffs reads jut like one.  Fluffs would probably need a few more scenes to become a movie but there's no reason we couldn't see something out on DVD based on this 30 minute or so long short story.  The thing that adds a bit more fun to this one is that for a long while, you don't know if the little coloured balls with teeth are actually little creatures set out on a psychopathic track of vengeance, to avenge one of their owns demise at the hands of Shaun, the main character.  Or if these creatures are just drug induced terror hallucinations that Shaun's mind has made from years of abuse or a recent bad batch.Maybe because I grew up on the vicious little critters movies, I found some of what happens a little predictable, especially Ness, the girlfriend scenes. Even though I could see what was coming, I still enjoyed Fluffs though.  I didn't actually foresee the events at the end and was impressed.  This story maybe with a slight bit of polishing could easily be reprinted as part of a various authors short story collection in hard copy form, along with more famous authors and would be one of the better stories in there.  I liked this and have already downloaded two other stories by this author as I just had that much fun reading this.
