Chapter 2

it was the next day. Flippy decided to go to the bookstore. What harm could he do there? all they had there were books. As he was walking there he noticed that people weren't staring at him or acting nervous. He even walked strait by a cop and they did nothing. Everybody had already forgotten. When Flippy entered the bookstore he was thankful at how peaceful it was. Nothing to flip him out. Flippy sighed with relief and sat down. He looked around and noticed much more people there. Sniffles was reading a book about science right next to him and Petunia was reading about gardening. Everything seemed so....normal. Just then Flippy noticed the war books. They had pictures of weapons and solders on the covers. Flippy tried to ignore them but there was one that was impossible to ignore. It had the Vietcong solders on the front fighting with American solders. Flippy ducked under the table and flipped out then jumped up, flipping the table over. Lots of people flew into bookshelves. The owner of the place stomped up to him. “do you mind, you're in a-” she was cut off by flippy stabbing her throat. Blood gushed out as he ripped the knife out of the wound. She fell over dead on the ground. Staining the carpet with blood. Everyone was running now, Flippy grabbed Lumpy by the antlers and stabbed him in the back of the neck. Lumpy fell down with a loud thump. Flippy jumped away and stabbed Russel in his one good eye. Russel screamed and fell down onto a table. Flippy grabbed an armful of books and grabbed giggles then shoved one down her throat. As she struggled Flippy snapped her neck. Then he grabbed a generic tree friend and shoved a book into his eye. She screamed for a moment then ran into a wall and fell over. The thump noise that she made woke Flippy from his trance. He looked around in horror at what he'd done. He shut his eyes tight and fell to the floor. He stayed there until the next day, praying he wouldn't flip out again.
