Moments of Distraction

FrouFrou is now our four-legged compass and our GPS in the labyrinth. Why are we blindly following him? Why not? What do we have to lose? Whose path is he following? The Minotaur’s? The Minotaur’s victims’? My grandfather Virgil’s? None of the above?

One good thing about him, something that comforts me, is that he seems to know where he’s going. He hasn’t once led us to a DEAD END, and we’ve been walking for about an hour. Now and then we hear the Minotaur’s howls. But it’s impossible to figure out where they are coming from. Is the beast close or not? We fear it will POP UP around each bend or that it will sneak up behind us.

Everyone is on edge, including the dog.

“What do we do if we run into the Minotaur?” Musky asks.

We freeze.

kabillions of crusty-clawed crawfish in that Bulstrode River! What will we do? I look for an answer in my friends’ eyes.

“I’ll take care of it, Billy Stuart!” Yeti brags. “Bring it on! No, really, bring it on!”

The rest of the Zintrepids are silent. As the French would say, they would be stuck to my lips (if I had any).
