Knuckles put his hand to his stomach as it growled like an angry panda. He was famished from all his hard work of guarding the master emerald.

"I think it's time for my lunch break, sit tight my precious emerald, I will return shortly" he said swiftly descending the steps of the temple.

Browsing through his refrigerator, Knuckles expression went from optimistic, to horrified. There was no food for him to eat, he had to go to the grocery store.

"Noooooooooo! I knew I should have gone shopping last week, but noooo, I just had to sit on my ass and watch wrestling all day" he thought angrily.

Knuckles tore his door off its hinges and smashed it into the ground leaving a huge crack down the center. He left his house to go grocery shopping.

As he jogged along merrily down the forest road, all Knuckles could think about was the amazing food he could get. Suddenly the train of thought going through the brain of Knuckles was derailed and thrown off a cliff as a huge explosion was heard.

Picking up the pace, Knuckles proceeded to the source of the cacophonous sound. The grocery store had exploded and was engulfed in flames. Knuckles fell to his knees, unable to believe that he was no longer able to obtain his foodstuffs.

As he gazed longingly into the dancing inferno of the super market, a faint shape was visible within the flame.

It was rectangular with stubby square arms and legs. It seemed to turn around and began to waddle towards Knuckles. As it came closer, the details of the creature became clear. It was a large domino, with a smiling face.

It approached Knuckles, and stared down at its helpless prey.

"Who are you? Why did you destroy the super market? Why? WHY" screamed Knuckles in a blind fury.

The giant domino bellowed a hearty laugh;

"Why? Because I am , and it was in my way. And as you know, nothing….stops... " those were the last words Knuckles heard before Mr. Domino crushed him.

Knuckles woke up in a cold sweat, his nightmare had ended.
