Further to yesterday's post...

I'm not sure what the Ancient and Venerable Plink is. Just that he's Ancient and Venerable.

He lives in a second-hand bookstore where he and others of his kind work to keep the population of silverfish down. They're not by nature hunters and they won't take a life not given willingly. Silverfish abhor waste and think dead bodies lying about makes the place look untidy. To avoid this happening, silverfish that feel their time has come will seek out Plink or his brethren and arrange to be eaten.

*blinks*

Okay then. This isn't so much a plot bunny as a plot mutant lagomorph of doom. On drugs.

I'll just file this one under 'Fuck', 'The', and 'What'.

This sounds like it needs to be illustrated by ursulav :-)

OK, so:

a) The Ancient and Venerable Plink "lives in a second-hand bookstore". But he's not the owner? The owner is ignorant of his existence?
b) How does he deal with silverfish whose time hasn't come?

Enquiring minds wish they didn't want to know.

Is religion involved in this scenario?

I've had plots like leap into my head. Well, not quite like that...
