aka: THE FLUSH OF FEAR
PART TWO

ith
the flushing of the toilet Jo heard a strange noise behind her. A sort of,
stretching, crunching sound.
Quickly
turning around, she couldn’t believe her eyes.
Facing
her was a giant creature. About six feet tall, round shaped, with dark fur and
glowing red eyes.
A
Yeti.
Terrified,
she screamed...
At
that moment, the toilet door swung open and there stood a figure, framed in the
daylight of the garden, cape fluttering in the breeze like some angel of mercy.
'Doctor!'
Jo cried with relief.
Seemingly
distracted by this new arrival, the Yeti froze for just a brief moment, giving
Jo the chance to run out of the little hut and hide behind the Doctor.
'What
is it?'
'A
Yeti, Jo' he replied, 'Or at least a robotic version of one.'
'So
what are we going to do? Does it have an off switch?'
'I am
thinking Jo! Just give me a moment.'
'Well,
you had better think of something, it’s coming straight for us!'
The
Yeti lumbered forward growling and waving its, admittedly stumpy, arms at them.
At
that moment the Doctor shouted 'Eureka, of course!'
Running
around and behind the Yeti, he dashed back into the little hut.
Ripping
the top off the water tank he began pulling at pipes, muttering to himself as
he did so.
Faced
with the lumbering Yeti, Jo grabbed a garden rake she had seen nearby and began
lashing out with it.
'Get
back you horrible hairy thing!'
This
had little effect as the Yeti continued to lumber forward.
'Doctor,
whatever you are doing in there, please do it quickly, I can’t hold it off much
longer!'
'Nearly
done, Jo. Just one more piece to fit back in and.....there, it’s done!'
Using
all his strength the Doctor pulled at the chain hanging down and the toilet
made a heaving rattling sound before finally flushing, a cascade of water
flying into the air.
At
that moment the Yeti stopped in its tracks and before Jo’s eyes, briefly glowed
a bright white before shrinking and becoming a toilet brush again which fell to
the ground with a clunk.
Completely
drenched, the Doctor came out of the toilet with a mixture of pride and
embarrassment on his face.
'Well
that did it...'
'What
did it Doctor? What did you do?'
