This Dust Thing grew angry. His eyes were aglow. I wish he would leave us. I wish he would go. He stood on the floor shaking dust everywhere. He was making a mess. Did he not care? There was dust on my dolls. There was dust on the floor. There was dust on my bed. There was dust on the door. Dust was on Scratchy. Dust was on me. Dust was on everything as far as I could see!
