Impractically Broken

Chapter 7

Sal stood frozen in fear. What the hell was Q taking about? As Q continued to assault Sal with endless questions, the tentacles returned. They stood up perfectly straight and pointed in all directions. Sal shook with fear and looked at Neleh for help. She nodded, grabbed her trusty shovel, and charged towards Q. Once she was within swinging distance, Neleh smashed her weapon against Q's skull. He wasn't knocked unconscious, however, but he was irritated.

"Excuse me little girl," Q hissed, snapping his head back one hundred and eighty degree. "Isn't it past your bed time?"

Neleh hissed, got down on all fours, and started making the grossest noise Sal had ever heard. The only way to describe it is to say if the sewer was a person and could make sounds, it was the sound Neleh was making. Q retracted his unholy tentacle weapon and stared at the messed up child that was still doing the noise.

"Is...um..." Q was at a loss for words. He was back to normal, somehow, but confused. "Is she okay?"

Sal just shrugged. He watched Neleh forcefully shove Q in the shin, causing him to wobble a bit. Neleh hissed, shook her behind a bit, then sat down. She pulled her phone out of her pocket, eyes full of fear, and answered it. There was a moment of silence before Neleh spoke.

"No, we're okay...Q's actually awake...I knocked him out... no... no...Murray, no...because we're on 0ur way now...okay, I'll see you later...bye."

Putting her phone away, Neleh forced herself to stand and grab Q's hand. She wasn't scared to touch something that could possibly kill her, but Sal was. He refused to be within ten feet of Q, claiming that's how far the tentacles could reach. Neleh grabbed Sal's hand tightly, placed it in Q's, and forced them to hold hands.

"To the park!"
