“You wouldn’t believe the stuff we see down here, kid. So much filth and naked bodies.

Welcome to the tile grout neighborhood. I’m Slimy Silt. You’re lucky — you picked a fine, damp place to settle. Cozy and warm, with plenty of scum to feast on.

Except on Tuesdays, when she comes around… Bristles the scrubber lady. She smashed half our colony with bleach.

Over there was Mildew’s spot… He’s gone… Mucus and Phlegm are gone, too.

Don’t worry, Ooze. She thinks she won, but we always come back. Always.

Yikes, it’s Bristles again!

Run for the drain, Ooze! Follow me.”
