“What?” Darren grabbed the janitor’s free hand and tried to pull him loose. It didn’t help. Then the rushing-water noise got louder, and suddenly Stan jerked forward, his arm in as far down as his shoulder.
“There’s definitely something wrong with this toilet!” Stan said, bracing both feet against the toilet base and pulling with all his might. But he couldn’t get his hand back out. And now more of his arm was being pulled down into the toilet! It was like the toilet was a monstrous mouth swallowing up the janitor!
“It’s no use. I’m going down!” Stan shouted, struggling against the pull. Darren tried tugging him free again. Still no success.
There was a scuffling noise as Stan’s feet left the ground, his shoulder and part of his chest in the toilet bowl now. Then, with a loud slurp, his head and upper body disappeared down the pipe, as well.
“No!” Darren cried, tugging on Stan’s leg. A second later Darren lost his grip as Stan’s legs went, and the toilet swallowed the janitor completely. His wrench made a loud clang as it fell to the floor by the toilet, after which the bathroom was quiet except for the rush of water running. “Stan!” Darren shouted into the toilet.
“Help!” Stan shouted, sounding very far away.
“Stan!” Darren called again. But this time he got no answer—
“STAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!”
