Mary Beth fights, struggles for a moment, perhaps longer.<br/><br/>That gulp that drags her deep into the creatures throat steals the last of her energy too, she can feel herself being absorbed into it, the slime that coated her dissolving away with the rest of her.<br/><br/>By the time that the creature slides it's bulk back down the drain, she is nothing more than a collection of proteins being dissolved by the being that ate her.<br/><br/>As the drain falls back into place and the tentacled horror is gone, the Janitor walks into the locker room, dragging his ever present bucket behind him.<br/><br/>He mops up the slime that remains on the floor, picks up a ruined pair of panties and shirt and dumps them in the mop bucket, and then finally wheels out of the locker room without another word, turning off the lights behind him.<br/><br/>And night falls on Horror High.<br/><br/>((END OF CHAPTER ONE))
