But I couldn’t move. There I was standing on a bus, looking at some old lady’s teeth lying in a puddle of sick. I had the taste of the stink bomb still in my mouth and the sound of people vomiting ringing in my ears, while everyone else just stared at me as the driver shouted at us to get off. I shut my eyes for a moment. How did it come to this...?* * *It all started at my dad’s club. Only bad things ever seemed to start at that club. I don’t know why he loved it there so much. Maybe it was because when he was there, he could be himself. I mean truly be himself. Burping, farting, swearing, drinking, smoking, telling rude jokes, play-fighting with friends – all the things he enjoyed when he was younger but couldn’t anymore ‘because of society.’ That was what he’d always say. ‘It’s society’s fault!’ So he used to go to his club, every Friday evening, just to be disgusting with his disgusting friends.It was called The League of Gentleman, but over the years everyone came to know it as the most disgusting place in town and eventually gave it the nickname The League of Disgusting Gentlemen. It was for members only. And to be a member you usually had to be fat, bald, rich (or at least pretend to be), and really rather disgusting – well, that’s how it seemed to me anyway!

(14600 words)Here’s an excerpt from Chapter Two:I felt something tugging at one of the sleeves of my pyjamas. I yelled ‘What?’ and leapt out of bed, frantically looking around the room. The curtains were open again, and this time so was the window! I panicked.I was about to call for mum and dad when I felt something pulling at my sleeve once more. I waved my arms about, swinging them at whatever was doing it, and went for the light switch. But just as I did so, something began pulling at my leg too!I wanted to yell as loud as I could but nothing came out – I was too terrified to even make a sound! I desperately tried kicking my legs but it felt like they’d been tied up. Ah, I thought, it’s one of those weird dreams, like when you go to school without your pants on only to wake up still in bed, feeling somewhat relieved.
