Sewer Sloggin'!
by: Unknown
Well... If life gives you lemons, make suspiciously acrid-tasting lemonade, she thought. The sewers were rank-smelling... Bella thought of many times when she punished the porcelain, imagining how much of it was the Stink Sister's contribution. Granted, the whole city gave generously. The ancient, backed-up sewers were one of the hot button issues when it came to cities in the state that weren't as... Forward thinking as Vileville when it to public sanitation. And then, of course, there were the stories...
Urban legends, that's all! The thought that Bella was the worst thing in the pipes right now was comforting as she sloshed waist-deep in wastewater, wondering idly if the brown logs floating by her were candy bars or something a little nastier tasting. The lighting from the luminescent mold growing on the walls was weak (another triumph of the sewer, from the Mayor's point of view: a delicate ecology that had to be preserved for future generations!), but at times the fox could swear she saw movements in the shadows...
Suddenly, the shadows gave themselves a voice, glowing yellow eyes opening in the blackness of a nearby tunnel.
"Isssssss it ssssssssomeone new?", inquired a hissing, gravelly rasp from the darkness. "What a beautiful creature... I mussssst have her for my queen! Excrementalsssss! Bring her to my throne! I will make... Preparationsssss."
All around Bella, mounds erupted from the water, greenish-brown heaps of chunky sewage that were disturbingly fur-shaped. They burbled and moaned as they shuffled towards her with ill-intent, dripping with malice and other things!
