Chapter 6

Does Leah get messier? Or does she finally catch a break?

What do you think?

Leah could only let out a quiet whimper as she saw the woman open the bag, closing her eyes as she felt everything the woman had listed cover her from head to toe.

"Hey, did you here something that sounded like a whimper?"

"Ah, it was probably just your imagination. We better get back."

Once a few minutes had passed and she was sure the two women left, Leah erupted from the trash can, gasping for breath as she looked down at herself. She was even dirtier now than she was before! She needed to get to those showers now!

Slowly rocking the can from side to side, Leah felt the trash can topple over, setting her free from her smelly prison at the cost of rolling around in even more filth. Leah muttered angrily to herself as she got to her feet, wondering how things could possibly get any worse for her right now?!

Almost as if the universe was mockingly answering her question, Leah heard a small chittering noise at her feet, looking down to see a pair of skunks looking up at her with their beady eyes.

Oh no.

"N-nice skunkies." Leah stammered nervously as she backed away, "Good skunkies. I... I am not a threat, so you two have no reason to be afraid of me. I'm backing away and leaving you alone, see?"
