Chapter 13
The Americans and the English people (Englishmen?) traveled into the depths of Islington. They all dug and got dirty. The Americans found a book where the English people were looking but had gone for a tea break so the Americans looked at their dig site. This book, one of them read the cover, was an algebra textbook, which made them all shudder in fear. One of them noticed the curse inscribed on the cover and read it out loud in a shaking voice, "The ones who open this book will be bored to death by the creature if they are ever awoken, oh, well we don't plan to wake up a creature so who cares about this dumb curse."
Seconds before they opened it, Marvin, who was with the group ran away to get away from the curse, yet again proclaiming that he was depressed, not a coward. The Americans then opened the book, it was algebra all right and no one dared read it out loud. The man in charge, his name was Bob (why not?) took the book with him and they left the city grounds to go back to their tents, Bob held onto the book and fell asleep with it in his arms.
Later that night, everyone was asleep. Fenchurch snuck down where Bob was holding the book and carefully removed it from his arms, unable to see the cover. Arthur, always a light sleeper, awoke and told Fenchurch that she was stealing (duh). He warned her not to mess around with that, and maybe not read it.
She laughed and told him one totally wrong thing. "No harm every came from reading a book." She opened it and began to read aloud, "y=fx plus b to the a minus.. " She stopped in fear, realizing the ground was shaking and this book was definitely not the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Bob awoke with the shaking and yelled, "YOU MUSTN'T READ FROM THE BOOK!" But it was obviously too late and he had no good reason to yell that, it only made him look stupid.
Everyone began to run because there was a swarm of words coming that was so boring that it made everyone stumble. All of the Americans except Bob were overcome by the boredom that they keeled over. The shapeless creature that was following them quickly swallowed their brains and it used them to help himself become a complete monster dude. Bob escaped with the English people and they fled to a nearby city.
