The Squirrel sub-series, starring Aquerna are a particular favorite of mine. Here are a couple of highlights:
You're only young once, but immaturity is forever.
Quote:“Fuck you, bitch. When I get a hold of you, You’ll be screamin’ fer yer
mommy.”
“Okay. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.”
He suddenly realized that there were big gray squirrels and little brown
chipmunks surrounding the two of them. Dozens of ‘em. HUNDREDS of ‘em. And
every single squirrel was staring right at him.
“What the f…”
She chittered, “Attack him! Bite him! Don’t let him grab you! But bite
him and stay away from his hands and feet!”
Buster watched in shock as hundreds and hundreds of chipmunks and
squirrels suddenly bolted straight at him.
And then they were all over him, biting through his clothes, biting on
his tough skin. His skin was a lot tougher than normal, but…
“OW! OW! OW OW OW OW!! GET ‘EM OFF ME!!!! OOWWW!”
…but his skin wasn’t as tough as the teeth of a rodent that could bite
through an acorn.
“AAAAAAGGGHHHH!!” He ran screaming across the park, swatting frantically.
By the time he reached the edge of the park, his clothes and shoes were long
gone, and most of his hair had been chewed to pieces.
Buster ran naked through the streets, trying to keep ahead of an army of
fucking little gray monsters that were trying to EAT him or something.
“SQUIRRELS! GET EM AWAY FROM ME! SQUIRRELS!!!”
Quote:BeforeD for Drakensis
Ree could say a thing, Anna yanked off her coat and boots. She dumped them into
Ree’s arms, and she moved.
She
ran into the alley so no one would see her do anything freaky, and then she went
right up the brick wall until she was maybe fifteen feet up and no one was gonna
think about looking up there.
She
could see the whole thing now. A big mean guy with a huge knife had trapped the
lady with the little girl and baby and that big shopping bag, when the lady was
just trying to cut through the alleys with a cranky kid. Anna just knew she couldn’t
let that creep steal those presents and stuff when that family didn’t have
anything else!
Anna
jumped. She came down right next to the crook and moved before he even realized
she was beside him. She grabbed his forearm in a judo hold. She twisted hard,
and the guy yelled in pain as he dropped his knife. He still hadn’t figured out
what was going on, so Anna threw him over her shoulder and scrambled up the
wall.
She
could still hear the little girl. “Mommy! You said Santa was real and I said
Daddy said no, but Santa’s elf just saved us!”
“Huh?”
“Santa’s real! And I was so mean about him, but
his elf saved us!”
You're only young once, but immaturity is forever.
