It was a warm, sunny day. Naturally, I was in the shade, freezing. I was bored. And to top it all off, something was sitting on me. I listened to what the dratted thing was saying . . .
"Again? Again?!! We're seeing far to much of that guy . . ."
I fell asleep momentarily, then woke up again.
"-and we have to go down to Yeerk pool. This gets better and better . . ."
It was the creature sitting on me doing the talking. I wished he would shut up. I would've told him too, but I couldn't.
I'm a rock. Rocks don't have mouths.
Shale
I listened to the creatures talking. They seemed upset.
"So. Another Yeerk pool? This is not good . . ."
"Definitly not. We have to try and stop this from being built. Maybe blow it up?"
I recoiled. Blowing things up was bad! Bad-bad! That's how I'd lost my feet!
Gotcha! Rocks don't have feet.
Anyway, the creatures continued their incessant babbling: "-tonight. At midnight."
"These last minute plans always work so well."
Gneiss
The creatures left. Very early, or late, however you looked at it, they came back. Or at least most of them did.
They were even louder now than before.
"-can't go home! Not now, not ever!"
"Why? I could have-"
"Could have done nothing. There was a whole army between you-"
"But still . . ."
"If only . . ."
< Marco and Ax . . . gone . . . Jake's taken. Which means- >
The creatures were leaking. Small salty drops, like rain.
"-woods. God help us."
