The Sewer King was thoughtful for a moment. He began to grind the heel of his boot on a finger. He heard Mr. Lewis as he cried out. ''You were born!'' The Sewer King saw tears in his father's eyes. His smile remained.

The Sewer King's boot heel contacted another finger. He watched as Mr. Lewis winced. ''You tore my toy alligator apart and caused me distress.'' The Sewer King viewed tears running down his father's face. Another scowl replaced his smile. ''You continue to cause me distress by existing!''

Mr. Lewis cried out again after the Sewer King's heel contacted his other finger.

''You forgot my tenth birthday!'' the Sewer King said. His heel descended again. He began to grind it on another finger.

Mr. Lewis turned to the alligators another time. His body trembled after two alligators snapped near him. He faced the Sewer King and seized the latter's long coat. Mr. Lewis saw the Sewer King's wide eye and wondered if the other eye was wide behind a dark lense. He began to seize a cape. His eyes settled on the cape before it was removed. He released the cape.

The Sewer King viewed his cape descending to where the alligators were. He faced Mr. Lewis and scowled again. ''I'M THE SEWER KING! I AM NOT WENDELL!'' he shouted. The Sewer King's eyes widened another time after his trousers were yanked down and his boxers were revealed. He focused on his boxers for a few moments.

The Sewer King's scowl returned before he pulled his trousers up. ''MY PETS WILL DEVOUR YOU THIS INSTANT!'' he said to Mr. Lewis.
