Squush

A few yards downstream was a stretch of sloping rock and moss, and here all clamor ceased: only the close-placed ear could detect the muffled squush.

Some men in the cellar were mixing mortar in trays with hoes. We watched them put sand and cement and lime and water together. Squush!

They looked down at the ants and other bugs they saw and felt enormously big and powerful. They pretended the bugs were people. "Got me a dozen!" Squush.
