We ran, plowing through another pile of peppers. [No, I didn't pick a peck of them, Sadie - just shut up.]
Rick RiordanFor an absurd moment, I wondered if Ammit devoured the hearts of wicked cows, and if he liked the beefy taste. - Carter Kane
Rick RiordanSuddenly his expression turned to alarm. He sprinted toward us. For a moment I had an absurd vision of myself on the cover of one of Granโs old romance novels, where the damsel wilts into the arms of one half-dressed beefy guy while another stands by,casting her longing looks. Oh, the horrible choices a girl must make! I wished Iโd had a moment to clean up. I was still covered in dried river muck, twine, and grass, like Iโd been tarred and feathered. Then Anubis pushed past me and gripped Waltโs shoulders. Wellโฆthat was unexpected.
