Then that cockroach came over to me. I hate roaches and bugs like that, but there was something unusual about that one. It seemed to have a man's head. Ewe! That would be worse than my situation of having a lamb head. I must say, this guy gave me the creeps.
He couldn't talk, like out loud as we do. But he could talk silently like Mary Jane did, that's the girl who didn't have a mouth. She talked to me with thoughts and that is how this bug guy did. He said his name was Gregor Samsa.
I told him I was Patty Lamb but everyone calls me Lammy.
He was like, "How come you got a lamb head?" and I was like, "The witch
Enditall cursed me and changed my head into a sheep head." Then he was like, "I don't think so." And I argued, "Yes she did!" So he was like, "It wasn't witchcraft or magic that turned me into a bug."
Then there was silence. Well, there already was silence because we were having a non-verbal discussion. I mean we were communicating but not out loud with words. You know. That telepathy stuff. But we just didn't say or think anything for a long time. I wondered what was wrong, then I realized he must be waiting for me to say something, or think something. So I was like, "Who did?"
He was like, "It was Franz Kafka." And there was another very long silence or whatever you call it, because I didn't have any idea who this Kafka fellow was. Finally after a long time I again realized he was waiting for me to say or think something to him so I was like, "I don't know the guy."
Gregor was then like, "He was my writer. He wrote my story." I began to feel like when you want to hurry and end a conversation and get the hell out of there because you don't know what the other is jabbering about and it doesn't make sense. But I thought I should be polite since I was falling down a hole and didn't know what was going to happen to me.
I didn't know what to say so I was just like, "Oh, okay." And he was like, "And I think it was that guy named Tom that changed your head into a lamb head." I was suddenly shocked as I felt myself falling faster and faster. I was like, "You mean Tom as in Tom and Icy?"
But then the bug was gone and my falling came to a sudden stop. Something had broken my fall. At least I was no longer falling.
