Picked Off One By One

The KP24 foam is in Arthur's hair. The lime green plastic shower cap is on. Now Arthur has to wait for half an hour.

Tick, tock.

Pastor Moon is moaning in the bedroom.

Urrrr, urrrr!

The tiny lice are dying one by one.

Blip, blip, blip.

Sweezus's tummy growls again.

Let's go downstairs and raid the fridge, says Arthur.

They go downstairs and into Ray Moon's kitchen.

The fridge is crammed with chocolate and on the top shelf in a corner there are several cans of fish.

Chocolate! says Sweezus. Awesome!

You should eat the fish, says Arthur. It isn't Easter yet. And look! There's even lettuce in the crisper.

Sweezus examines the lettuce, as if he might just choose it..

He spies a half dead slug.

That does it. He picks up a golden chocolate bunny.

I can't handle Easter, says Sweezus, peeling back the golden foil, and biting into the thick chocolate at the top of one of the ears.

Why not? says Arthur. Oh.

Yeah, says Sweezus.

Chomp, chomp.

Tick, tock.

Blip. Blip. Blip.

Is it half an hour yet? says Arthur. When can I take this cap off?

Creak, creak. They hear Ray Moon coming down the stairs.

Shit! says Sweezus. Let's make a run for it!

They dash through the kitchen door and into Ray's back garden.

Hrrrrrr! Is that a possum?

Bang! Is that Ray Moon shooting at them with a gun?
