Default Da Book strikes again


Chapter 39

I moved a long-unmoven box, and Gregor scurried up another like the
fool he was. There he perched, shiny and brown, waving his antennae

rolled it up. I cocked my arm, my eyes still dead straight ahead.

Thwack!

There was a little 'plip' as the body hit the floor.

Thwack!

It took a few swats, but Gregor Samsa was a goner. Da Book had struck
again.

Chapter 40.

The next day, I felt a little bad for icing Gregor. You see, like

nightmares. I would have used one of my own pieces, but they were out
