Title: A Great Stink

Characters: Emily, Nick, Becker, Abby and Connor.

Rating: PG

Word Count: 100

Challenge: 311 - In The Sewers




What explodes forth from the giant, arthropod creature, when Becker shoots it, is slimey, sallow-yellow and reeking.

Connor turns ashen.

Abby firmly clutches her nose.

Becker’s hair seems overwrought.

Even intrepid Professor Cutter looks rather queasy for a moment.

Yet Emily strides straight up, totally undaunted.

Prodding at the noxious guts with the toe of her boot.

Nick grins, bemused.

“Have you no sense of smell Em? Not a wee sniff?”

Emily smiles complacently and twinkles.

“Two things you’re forgetting Professor. I’ve survived the Great Stink of 1858 - London’s sewers overflowing. And the other………..I live with Matt’s dirty socks.”
