Flobberworms:  Their Exciting Existence

     A/N: Don't even ask.  It seemed like a good idea at the time.  This is supposed to be humor, but Carl seems to think that its angst.

     Disclaimer:  Thankfully, neither Cassie or I own flobberworms.  Harry Potter and company belong to J.K. Rowling.  Thank you, and have a nice day.

The Story of the Flobberworm

     The wind screamed past me as I rose higher and higher into the air, carried by a massive bearer of grief and destruction that had held doom for so many before me.  I knew I was a goner.

     Hullo.  My name is Gray 3-2521.  However, you may call me Carl.  I am a flobberworm, among the last of my kind.  I live in a glass prison where, everyday, many of my kind are buried…whether dead or alive.  And now, I was facing my own doom.  My jailkeeper stared me in the eye.  I was going to die.

     "What a bore," said my captor, and dropped me back into my prison.  I lay on the soft soil, devastated.  My fellow flobberworms, even my wife Blue 6-3054, would not come near me.  Even though I had escaped death for now, there was still the chance that I had been infected by a very contagious disease called…Humanitosis.

     My friend, Red 7-1439(I called him Bob), was the first to catch it.  He was infected with humanitosis when he was handled by the evil pink-skinned demons.  Bob, too, was thrown down as I had been, but he did not survive.  He slowly began to turn a sickly shade of peach and then, one day, he stopped moving.  He had died, leaving two hundred children without a daddy!  Excuse me one moment as I cry.

     I slowly inched my way back to my lettuce home.  I nibbled on the green wall, a plan forming in my mind of how to gain revenge on the evil pink skinned demons.
