Chapter 78 - Perfecto

With the bucket in hand, Beaver made his way to the back of the freezer, where the temperature dipped even lower, frosting the edges of his vision.

Over the last two years, he had prepared meticulously for this moment, crafting the perfect hiding spot within the north wall of the freezer. With painstaking care, he had dug into the wall, creating a recess just large enough to conceal his precious, albeit revolting, cargo.

The camouflage for the hole was a masterpiece of deception, blending seamlessly with the surrounding wall, indistinguishable to anyone who didn't know exactly what they were looking for.

He had tested the security of this hiding place over time, leaving it undisturbed to see if it would catch anyone's eye. It never did.

Now, standing before the concealed nook, Beaver felt a rush of anticipation mixed with anxiety. He removed the cover with a practiced ease, revealing the hollow that would serve as the temporary home for the alien worms.
