The Worst Grossologists Ever
Prologue
It was midmorning and Ringworm's Subway station was buzzing with life. People of all ages where herding on and off the trains that docked by the station.
Train C21 docked at the station and opened up its doors. The train operator was a middle age man with black hair, speckled with grey and an indifferent expression on his face. This was his everyday job after all. The passengers stepped aboard. They weren't too many and most got places to sit. After a few minutes the train closed its doors and took off. For the first ten minutes of travel everything seemed normal.
Then suddenly, the tunnel turned pink.
Or rather the walls of the tunnel went over from black granite to something that was pale pink. The train operator stared at it in utter confusion. "What is happening?"
The passengers meanwhile, had a very similar reaction to the sight. Everyone stared baffled out the windows.
The train conductor started to note other changes as well. The light had dimmed, the train had slowed down and condensation started gathering on the windows. Eventually the train came to a complete stop. "Oh no." The train operator said and grabbed his radio. "Hello, hello? This is Train C21, we have a situation." He spoke into his radio.
"This is station. What's your problem?" A female voice crackled over the radio.
"I-I'm not sure. My train has stopped moving. Everything works but I can't get anywhere. There's also this odd pink stuff filling the tunnel."
"…Pink stuff?" The woman asked over the radio.
"Yeah, it's pink and slimy and, and gross." Suddenly, his eyes caught something moving in the tunnel in front of him but it was too fast for him to get a good look at. "Wait, there's someone or something out there." He stood up from his seat, leaned forward and squinted to see better but he didn't see anything living out there.
Suddenly, a monster attacked the train, latching onto the window with its circular mouth.
The train operator screamed in terror, stumbled on his seat and fell backwards onto the floor. The radio dangled off the control board. "Sir? Sir, are you there?" The female voice sounded worried. The train operator panted as he stared at the creature that was sucking at the windshield. It was white as a ghost and its head had an oblong shape to it. Also, it's almost perfectly circle-shaped mouth was armed with two sharp fangs. It didn't do anything thou, other than sticking to the glass.
Suddenly a second white creature attacked the window and smashed right thru the glass. The two creatures fell in and onto the floor. First then did the train operator realize that they were worms. Giant, slimy, white worms. He panted out of fear but still did the rational thing and smashed his fist against a red button, immediately opening all the doors.
He then rushed out of the driver cart and into the passenger cart. "WE ALL HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE! WE ARE BEING ATTACKED BY MONSTERS!"
The passengers just stared at him bewildered, not knowing what to think. Then, the two worms towered up behind the middle age man and everyone panicked. The peaceful subway train turned into a cacophony of screams and frightened human forms running towards the nearest exit. The mayhem continued outside thou as the startled masses ran across the slippery, pink substance that had encircled the tunnel. Some of them slipped, some were even more unfortunate and got trampled on by the other passengers.
"Mommy, my bear!" One little boy cried after losing his teddy bear but his mom just kept dragging him with her. Everyone ran as fast as they could in the opposite direction of the train, hopping the pink would eventually give way to black granite once again. Unknown to them thou, the tunnel was full of even more giant white worms.
Author's Note:
And now season 3 can really get started. I'm both excited and nervous at the same time.
I hope this little prologue peaked your interest for what to come and I hope you'll leave a review.
