Well. How do I get out of this one? I squirmed as I made desperate attempts to get out of the quick...I'm sorry. "Slow sand," Pinky called it. Wait. What was that thing about this stuff? Oh, yeah. The more you struggle, the more you sink faster! Well, that thought made me stop struggling. I spied the dog-sized rat, sleeping on an overturned garbage can. Perhaps... "Hey, you," I called out. The rat woke up and looked at me. "Can you get me out, boy?" It went back to sleep. I slapped myself on the forehead. Am I really that desperate? I looked down. Before I was ankle deep, now, thanks to my struggling, I am now waist deep! I had to get out, fast!
I saw the rat's tail, close to my body. Sorry, big guy, but in this case... I grabbed the rat's tail and pulled with all my might. The rat screeched in pain, and tried to pull away from me. It's working! I'm almost out of here! The rat pulled, shrieked and tried to bite me when I refused to let go. Almost there... Yes! I'm out! I wiped the mud off my legs and pants, all the while looking for a way out. The door's out of the question for sure. A scratching noise made me look behind me. At the base of the floor, the rat had chewed its way through an air vent and crawled its way in. Bingo.
Why did I come in here without a flashlight?! I got lost after a few minutes, and it didn't help much when I didn't know my way around this place! Finally, after what seemed like hours, (it was really thirty minutes) I saw a light. I kicked my way out of the air vent, and it took me a while to figure out where I was: another hallway. I was probably still on the third floor, seeing as Pinky's door was nearby. Wait. Door? Didn't he erase it? Oh, no! He must have come back to see if I died! I have to get out of here before he comes out of his room!
I ran down the hall, hoping he didn't see me. I stopped after a while. I'm going nowhere, fast. Where to, now? Huh. "Lounge room." Well, it's a start. Inside was a giant flat screen TV, a laptop and a door leading to the kitchen. Nothing out of the ordinary. Then I saw a pair of gloves and a utility belt lying on a couch in front of the TV. They were colored in orange and dark purple, matching the cape I found in the hedge maze. There was a note taped to them. "Take us," it said. Was someone just leaving these things around to find? I'll figure that later. I placed them in my bag and they joined the cape.
That's when I saw that the TV was turned on. It was a news channel. "This just in," said the female reporter. "A mysterious green ray has been appearing across the world, causing the world's national monuments to suddenly disappear. The government has been looking into this but have no answers as of this time." Suddenly, there came the sound of static as the image changed into the face of the Mutant. "And the sooner we get started, the sooner the world will be mine!" He laughed as the image slowly faded into black. Then Dragon Ball Z replaced the image.
"I'm starting to wonder why I chose him to be my minion." I turned around when I heard that awful voice. Frightmare! "Run," he whispered. I obeyed, running towards the closest door. There was something labeled on it, but I didn't want to read it. I was in a hurry! I could hear his laughter as I ran down the halls. Then I froze. The walls started to bleed!
No. It wasn't blood. It's ink. Red ink! Wait. What's happening to it? The ink started to change into shapeless blobs with gaping mouths and tentacles. "You won't find mercy from me!" shouted Frightmare, laughing. The ink blots shot their tentacles at me, and attempted to eat me. I swung my rake, but that was quickly eaten by one of them. My only weapon! I'm boned.
