I jerked my hands back. Squinting hard, I struggled to see what was sharing the hole with me.

It rubbed my face. It was wet and slimy. My skin prickled.

I felt it wrap itself around my neck. It smelled strong, like dirt. And its skin was wet and wrinkly and gluey.

It slid away, leaving my skin wet. It raised itself in front of me.

And in the dim evening light, I saw what it was—a worm.

Just a common earthworm. Not too frightening—unless you are six inches tall!

To me, it was as big as a python.

It curled around my waist. I grabbed its slimy, wet middle. I struggled to pry it off. But I couldn’t budge it.

I shot both hands out and felt something above my head. Looking up, I realized it was a root. Some kind of underground tree root.

I gripped it with both hands.

I swung myself up onto the root. Then I squirmed and thrashed and kicked till the worm finally loosened its grip.

I tugged myself up the root. Grabbed the dirt wall with both hands. And scrambled up the side of the hole.

Gasping for breath, I dove into the grass. I lay there panting for a long time. I kept glancing back to see if the giant worm would follow me. But it stayed down in the hole.

I stood up on shaky legs. My glittery Ken jumpsuit was soaking wet from worm slime. I tried to brush dirt off the front. But it clung to the sticky fabric.

I knew I would totally gross out Ava. But I didn’t care. It was all Ava’s fault that I was in this frightening mess.
