A Slug's Life
The Culinary Adventures of Marvin the Slug
Running late, Marvin crawled up the rock as he journeyed to the new crop of mushrooms down the log.
45 minutes later, in record time, he found his agent Gregory and cameraman Carl under the mushrooms shade.
“S-sorry!” Marvin heaved, “Ready?”
His new mushroom review is highly anticipated. Locals say they’re phenomenal, but being a trusted food critic, Marvin must confirm.
“Rolling,” said Carl.
Marvin climbed the stem to chew on the meaty cap.
“Marvin, what’s the verdict?” shouted Gregory.
“Well,” He contemplated, “Tastes like dirt. Eight out of ten.”
“They’re going to eat this up,” Carl whispered to Gregory.
