The Tunnel Club and the fridge (Ghosts and Wraiths)
Feral hamsters—bogey-wise right up there with mile-high toddlers, skull-deprived wraiths, carnivorous flora, and marsh-gas that melts your face off and leaves you with exposed gray-and-red facial musculature for the rest of your ghoulish-pariah life, in terms of late-night hair-raising Concavity narratives—are rarely sighted south of the Lucite walls and ATHSCME’d checkpoints that delimit the Great Concavity
Context
The boys' bogey-canon, mid-rodent-hunt: "skull-deprived wraiths" ranked between mile-high toddlers and carnivorous flora in Concavity campfire lore. The word domesticated into children's horror two hundred pages before an actual garden-variety specimen sits on Gately's headboard and explains itself — with "ghoulish-pariah" as a bonus lexeme in the same breath.
