22 · THE FLUSH OF YOUTH

MILTON, MARLO, AND Virgil trudged through the humid darkness. Milton and Virgil’s flashlights flickered before them, with Virgil’s beam often resting on Marlo.

Marlo sighed. “A little more light in front and less behind, Supersize,” she grumbled.

“My flashlight must be, uh, falling off my head or something,” stammered Virgil.

“Yeah, well, your big noggin is going to fall off if you keep staring at my butt.”

“Hey, give him a break,” Milton protested. “His map helped us find the Girls’ Unrestrooms. And maybe it can help us find this Secret Toilet.”

“I’ll believe it when I see it,” Marlo snorted, shaking her head.

Milton stared at his sister, the beam of his flashlight caressing her fresh crop of acne. “What’s that all over your face?”

Marlo went from brash to bashful. “It’s, uh, a hormonal thing,” she replied, brushing her hair into her face. “A girl thing. If you don’t stop bugging me about it, I’ll tell you.”

The tunnel echoed with a low grumble. Marlo looked back at Virgil. She scowled at him.

Virgil glanced ahead, worried. “That wasn’t me.”

The three children stared down the tunnel into the impenetrable darkness. It rumbled like the irritable bowels of a giant who had just eaten a ton of spicy Chinese takeout.

Milton screamed as several tons of sewage exploded into the tunnel.
