227. Shushed
Amy decides that her best bet is to wait for the librarian’s return, then perhaps ask him about the wayward undergarment. After a few minutes the librarian emerges from a large pile of books, holding a single volume aloft. He has a triumphant look on his face. He picks his way carefully through the book piles and hands the book ceremoniously to Amy.
Amy examines the book. “An Introduction to Gigantism in Herbology: On the Care and Feeding of Monstrous Plants.”
Amy smiles sweetly at the librarian. “Gosh, thank you! This will be a big help! I’m glad we could reach an understanding.
The librarian’s face turns red, then purple.
“SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
The force of wind blowing from the librarian’s mouth knocks Amy backwards. With a RIIIIPPP! her t-shirt is blown off of her, followed shortly by her jeans. Amy struggles to her feet and tries to walk against the force of the wind emerging from the librarians mouth. As she does so, her pink bra and heart-print panties are torn from her body, leaving her naked save for her boots and socks. She continues to tilt desperately against the wind, her body forming a 45 degree angle with the floor. After about a minute of this, with a sickening SHLORP! sound the wind blows the flesh from her body, starting with the top of her head and peeling down to her feet, leaving a skeleton in glasses and boots standing there. The librarian ceases his shushing. The jaw on Amy’s skeleton drops, as though expressing shock at this turn of events. A second later, the whole skeleton collapses into a heap on the floor.
Amy is obviously in no condition to continue either this adventure or her life.
