The Beast Of Berwyn, Page 16

the continuing saga of ...
THE BEAST OF BERWYN

You briefly glance up from the painstaking composition of your latest blog post, perturbed by the screams and gunshots outside. You focus back on your final summary.

=================================================
And, in some preliminary trials, the saliva of the common squirrel, when ingested,
=================================================

BANG! BANG! BANG!

"Awwwwwwwwwwwwrrrrh!"

"Are you alright?"

"NOOOOOOOOOO!"

=================================================
can ameliorate the paralytic symptoms of even the strongest neurotoxins.
=================================================

You hover your mouse over the "Publish" button, smiling contendedly with another blog post well-done.

As you smugly click your mouse button, bullets rip through your laptop and desk lamp, sending the room into inky blackness.

You fall to the ground. Several pregnant moments pass.

Suddenly, you hear a frantic knocking at your library window.

Do you...

1) Go to the library window
2) Inspect your laptop for damage
3) Go down to the basement to your other computer to see if the post was successfully published
