Okay, This is my attempt at a quicksand/sinking oriented 1000 ways to die fic. I wrote this for all the people out there who like this kind of stuff (you know who you are). I hope everyone likes this.

A Crappy Athlete

Meet Miranda. She's a bit of a geek. Okay, she's the stereotypical geek. Glasses, braces, not very athletic. It's easy to see why the other girls at her high school don't let her into their click. Maybe that's why she joined the soccer team…to get a little respect. The only problem is that she's not exactly a natural at sports.

She stayed late one night after practice, trying to get better at, well, everything. She kicked the ball, and missed the goal. Feeling angry at herself, she retrieved the ball, stood back at the line, and kicked it again. It missed the goal by ten feet.

"Darn it!" She exclaimed. Just then, two popular girls walked past the fence of the soccer field.

"Nice kick, Ugly Betty." One of them laughed.

"Shut up!" Miranda called. The girls walked away, and Miranda kept practicing. She became angrier and angrier as she kept sucking. Finally, in a fit of rage, she kicked the ball as hard as she could. She watched as it sailed over the chain link fence, and down the hill at the end of the field.

Miranda went to get the ball, and found it was inside a fenced-in area at the foot of the hill. She clumsily climbed over the 4 foot fence, not realizing she was entering the old open cesspool for the school. She walked out into the open area inside the fence, but just before she reached her ball, she found herself sinking into a smelly black mud. She tried to free herself, but her cleats were stuck in the raw sewage. She sank to her knees, and started screaming for help. Unfortunately, there was no one around to hear her screams.

She sank to her waist in the sewage, her panicked, her struggling causing the muck to liquefy. Soon she found herself chest deep in the cesspit, her arms trapped under the surface. The smell of the sewage made her light headed as the gasses in the decaying waste displaced oxygen in her bloodstream. She sank to her neck, and finally stopped struggling as she passed out from oxygen deprivation. There she stayed, chin-deep in crap, until she suffocated and died.

I guess in the end, everyone was right. Miranda was just a crappy player.
