There once was an ogre named Shrek. He lived in a dirty swamp. Shrek was having an ordinary day. He used the toilet, bathed in the mud, and ate a cooked rat. At the end of this particular normal day, Shrek went to sleep in his bed as he always did. During the night, however, he heard the sound of a door opening.
"Who's there?" Shrek shouted into the darkness.
When he got out of bed, he discovered that his closet door was open. He did not bother to look inside because he heard footsteps coming from somewhere else around the house. He ran quickly into the kitchen.
"If you're looking for a snack, I don't think you'll like what I eat," Shrek said.
Shrek saw nobody in the kitchen. He wondered if the one who entered his home had gone outside. He went outside and took a look. Nobody.
"Where are you, you trespasser?" he asked.
He heard a noise coming from inside the house. Shrek hid inside the outhouse. He looked through the hole in the door shaped like a crescent. He could see something coming out of the house.
"It's not human. That's for sure."
The purple lizard-like creature was slithering in the direction of the outhouse. It stopped when it stepped in the wet mud that Shrek had bathed in earlier.
"Crud," it said as it passed through and then wiped the mud off.
The creature was getting closer to the outhouse. Shrek stood on top of the toilet.
I'll be able to jump on that thing when it opens this door.
The purple creature opened the door quicker than Shrek expected. The surprise caused Shrek to slip. Both of his feet ended up in the toilet water. He stepped out of the toilet and sprang at the purple creature.
"What are you and what are you doing in my swamp!" Shrek asked.
"I'm the best monster in the company!" it answered.
"Get out!" Shrek said.
He tried picking the monster up. It slithered from his hands. Shrek chased after it as it ran back into the house.
"I'm gonna get you, you monster!" Shrek shouted.
When he opened the door to his home, he did not see or hear anything at first.
"Maybe he went back to where it came from," he thought.
Shrek looked around and saw that the closet door was still open. Before he could look at what was through the door, a burlap sack was put over his head. The monster had been camouflaged, which is why he did not see him. Shrek struggled to break free as the monster tied his hands and feet with ropes.
"The name is Randall," the monster said before it pushed the ogre through the door.
