"He looked on mortified, as the nasty thing dripping with scary stuff came closer, in a frightening shamble.
Clump
Clump
Clump

It was someone he knew that he had done something to once and that was very terrifying.
He screamed.
Again".

Chew
chew chew
chew
he chew chewed like a train ((c) the sagacious one)
then he swallowed.
He then sicked up a message on the floor.
He then sicked up a message on the floor.
The thumb was repeating on him
He died."
