Oh, God, this is it. This is it, I'm drowning. It's all over...
"PAULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYYYYY"
I can't even shout up to him, I can hear him, but there's no way he'd hear me with all of this shit rushing past between us. This is all my fault, I shouldn't have traded shifts, I knew I wasn't ready for the night raid, and yet, I wanted to be there when Doreen had the babies. Stupid, stupid stupid!
The smell... oh, the foul stench these creatures create. It should have been simple, all I needed was to watch, to keep track of how often they came in, to see the best way to bring our troops in. And yet, here I am, swimming for my life.
"Stay der, Pauly, I'm gonna git the guys, we'll be right der!" Banky's gruff voice can be heard over the grumbles from the creature, the sound of the falling missiles. I try with all my strength to leave, but even as I get myself out of the water, the opening is blocked, and there's nothing I can do.
A light. A bright light, oh thank god the opening is unsealed. The creature has gotten up, and he's... oh god. No! NO!! What about the kids? Doreen? Nooo!!!
The creature pushes a lever, and all of a sudden WOOSH! The water begins to swirl, I fight against it with all my strength, missiles hitting me in the face as they dance around with me. I flap my wings, but the water is too heavy. I'm being sucked down... faster, darker... I hold my breath and close my eyes, and feel myself slipping away...

"DAD!!! Ew!! Come quick, there's flys all over the toilet!!!!"
