This choice: Laying between his two massive Chucks • Go Back...
Chapter #20
The boneyard
by: Unknown
You have rolled out of his jeans and are now laying on your back on the soft grey carpet on the floor of the automobile. On either side of you are Malcolm's massive Chuck Taylors. His left foot is tapping the ground playfully. You look beyond, and can see Brad's red chucks also. You hate the up close and personal view of Malcolm's shoes. They looked dirty and gross from your old perspective, but from your new size, they look 10 times nastier. The thick white rubber rings around the sole of the Chucks surely used to be white, but now they were solid brown. If you didn't know better, you would think they came that color.
You observe your surroundings some more. The backseat is where Malcolm and Brad always sit, and your aunt obviously does not clean up back here often. The carpet is littered with crumpled up burger wrappers, old french fries, leaves, grass clippings, and assorted action figures. Upon further inspection, you can also see that the carpet is full of mutilated bug remains. Everywhere you look, there is a piece of an unfortunate insect. Dismembered legs, wings, and antennas lie amid smashed thoraxes and pulverized abdomens. It was a truly gruesome sight to behold. Nowhere could you see a bug fully intact. For the first time you truly understood the pain and suffering caused by your giant little cousins. No one could deny their cruelty when standing in the middle of the receptacle for the days killings. Wherever they went, the twins would find bugs to crush. School, friends houses, the store, etc. All the foot tapping probably dislodged the remains from the soles of their shoes, and here they lay, forgotten.
