(Author's Note 6-15-14: First of all, Happy Father's Day to everyone this applies to! Have a good one! Second off, beginning today, the story here has now been completely rewritten from the ground up, hopefully for the better. My special thanks to the one reviewer who pointed out the huge flaw that had me rewrite this while it was still at a manageable size. Hopefully this worked!)
"Ungh, ah… Where, where am I?"
I could barely remember anything before this moment, waking up this one day. But what a night I must've had. I felt completely different.
I finally awakened, and scanned my surroundings. I saw a green field that I was out cold in, but this scene doesn't look or feellike anywhere I've been. The grass felt too cushiony and soft; the overall place looking too surreal. And my own body…feeling just as soft as the grass?
I finally jumped up to my feet, or more stumbled around trying to get up, and looked down at my—
Wh-what the hell happened to me!? Why do I have nubs for hands? Why do I have no legs? And why is my body so round? I feel like a marshmallow! What in the world is even going on around here!? Why am I here? Why am I this—
But, suddenly, a quake threw me off of my feet, making me face-plant hard. Where did that come from? I didn't really see anything that could cause quakes, as it stands. I got myself up slowly, and scanned around the area, finally finding a dirt path that led over a hill. Was this going to lead me to the source? Well, there's only one way to find out.
Running down the path, I got to the top of the hill and looked down to see an already ruined town being devastated by…a one-eyed cloud? Yeah, alright, let's go with that. Have I just gone insane? Why is there just a random, sentient cloud up in the air attacking a town!?
There's no time to think about that now; if this is really happening, I could be in trouble! I dashed down the hill as quickly as I could without stumbling or tripping over myself, racing towards the town. It might seem like it's in complete shambles, but maybe there's at least one survivor. All I need is one.
If even one person is down there, it'll all be worth it.
