blame it on my ADD

Well, this was really, really bad! "It was coming up the tunnel, I saw it!" Jupiter spun around again. His brow furrowed. How did it get around him? Maybe it had been climbing on the ceiling? If that were the case then he was lucky. It could have pounced on him! He could have died and never seen it coming! Wow, that was scary.

Determined to scare the monster off, Jupiter fixed the empty blackness of the tunnel with his most ferocious glare. Several seconds ticked by as he waited with raised hackles. Finally he relaxed. "I guess it ran away." He puffed his chest out and turned to look at the other child. "That's 'cause it heard me coming." Parroting something Amadeus had recently said to him, he said, "My rep'itation proceeds me."

Curiously he eyed the other boy. "Did it chase you down here?" Behind him, Amadeus had finally caught up. His tiny hands clasped the ledge and in one fluid motion he hauled himself over it. For a moment he paused to scoop the dirt out from under his nails; completely unperturbed by the idea of a pup-eating monster. He would have smelled real danger and since he didn't, he wasn't concerned. Let the boy play.
