The New Gerbil II

The children cheered wildly. Sebastian was holding a cute little gerbil. He said that if they behaved properly and kept quiet, they could have it. That was worse. The children were beginning to get over-excited by the look of the cute gerbil in Sebastian's hand, almost agressivly. All of a sudden, one of those vile creatures started to bite Sebastian's leg, and the other children followed the example. When everything was falling apart on Sebastian's life, a man suddenly appeared. Literally out of nowhere, like out of the sky. 'Help me! - said poor Sebastian followed by the carnivorous children. 'What? - said the man that came from the sky, whose name was Billy. Sebastian couldn't answer because of his urge, he was only capable of getting near Billy's strange figure. Suddenly, Billy took a glimpse at the poor Gerbil in Sebastian's mutilated hand and felt alarmed. He took it from Sebastian's hand and thus the crazy children's attention moved to Pilgrim's innocent body. When they were almost reaching Billy with they're sharp teeth, leaving Sebastian's bloody hands and legs and feet behind, he disappeared. The gerbil disappeared too, but not in Billy Pilgrim's embrace. The New Gerbil was forever lost in time, destined to turn other "innocent" children into Satan's evil minions.
