Book excerpt: Moby the Flea was inspired by a quote from Herman Melville from Moby Dick, "To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, though many there be who have tried it." I have contemporized the Moby Dick story and adapted it to the pursuit of a flea. Kevin gets a dog, then a job with Dr. Ahab, the veterinarian who vaccinates the dog. The doctor has recently lost an eye to a white flea that jumped off a dog he was treating and bit him. He calls this flea Moby and is out to find and kill him. With the help of the receptionist and the other workers in the veterinary clinic, the search goes on, techniques for searching are learned, dog owners are baited to bring their pets to the clinic, and sightings and attacks of the white flea are reported from the local veterinary community. Kevin dates a young woman who tells him astonishing facts about the flea. Kevin's dog falls ill, and while the doctor examines him, he sights the White Flea in his fur. After all in the clinic chase the flea, spraying it with their insecticides, the dog jumps up, his leash flies around the doctor's neck and he is strangled to death. Kevin doesn't know what happened to Moby.
