The game

I can’t sleep. I keep trying, but those god-awful things come back to haunt me. Every time I went to sleep, I’d see them brutally taking apart Penny in some kind of factory. So, I have no choice but to stay up all night with Willow. “So. Why aren’t you trying to kill me like the rest did?” I had already taken my seat on a fallen Willow Log near the fire that was set up.
       “Why kill. Someone so. Kind.”
       “Why let someone so idiotic live?”
       “Do not. Beat yourself. Up for. Someone to. Weep for. You.”
       “Why should I not beat myself up? I mean, I’m only 14, and I have a child. And what’s more, is I have to try and survive. I’m not no Jordan Dooling here. I’m not no hero of Hyrule either. I have only one chance, and if I let that chance go, I’m gonna die.”
        “The fear.”
        “The what?”
        “The fear. Of dying.”
        Oh god, that’s right. They’re more than real here. And more than hostile. “Then, what are you the fear of then?”
         “The fear. Of sorrow.”
         All that registered into the motion of which I took, was a nod. But after that, we sat quietly. All that my mind let me do was look deeply into the fire, wondering more and more about this place. “Do ya’think... Maybe Penny is my daughter?”
          “You are. Now burdened. By a. Child. It is. Your responsibility.”
          “I guess... Thanks, Willow. You remind me of my mother. I wonder how she’s holding up without me...” All Willow gave me was the motion to sleep, as she had been getting tired. So, I lay on the log and drift to sleep. Hope I can this time.

It’s morning, I was woken up by Penny. What’s happening right now? We’re eating some edible tree bark that Willow made. Tastes just like buttered baked potato. Though I keep wondering how she made it. “Hey, Willow. How’d you make this?”
           “Some things are not meant to be said around a child.”
           Well... That answers that doesn’t?

After breakfast, me and Penny got our wits together and headed out. She’s up on my shoulders again.
            “Hey daddy...”
            “Yeah?”
            “How did you and Mama EAT meet?”
            “Oh. She stopped me when I was going to get some food. And then we kinda... Clicked.”
            “How are babies born?”
            “You... You will learn when you’re older.”
            I guess to most I’m sort of just the out of the norm guy who was chosen out of many to go through a portal, then chosen to fight off some giant wooden goddess thing. I guess I can start telling about myself. The name I choose to go by is Ein, my real name being a secret to many. My last name, well... Let’s keep that a secret. Ein sounds badass as it is. I’m sort of an author, which is why I mention Jordan Dooling at times. He’s the creator of my favorite series, OH GOD THE RAPTURE IS BURNING. I mean like, all of this is kinda like that. But sort of just more... Chill.

We’ve found our way into another village, this one seems more abandoned than anything. Everything’s in perfect order from what I can see. But Penny says that there’s a lotta bad people around. Well. Let’s see what happens!

OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

IT’S EVERYWHERE NOW

WHAT IS THAT MY HOLY GOD WHAT THE RRRRRRUUUUNNNNN

Holy shit, it was like a cross between multiple fears in one. Like... How can I explain it? Imagine a corpse split in two. Now imagine both parts being able to move. Now imagine the veins connecting them being seeable and covered in all sorts of things that just make you want to puke. Holy fuck. Now that I think about it, I’ve been pretty lucky. I’m still alive, despite how weak I am to these guys. Though, surprisingly, I’m not fearful. But I have a... Fear of something... Oh hey a book! ‘History of the Game Board’ Hm. Should kinda help me? Might be what this place is.

‘History of the Game Board chapter 1

If you are fearless enough to read this, I clap to you! You, obviously, have the potential to beat this game. Oh, you didn’t know it was a game? Poor you, toying in a place of dangers and you don’t know what you’re doing. Well, read through this and you’ll understand EVERYTHING!

Now, what you’re wondering is how you got here. Each fear from your human realm is selected to pick a human at random to throw into the game. And if the human completes the game? Well... The fear who selected them will gain more power than they already have. Thus so, it’s a total trust game. If the human doesn’t make it, the fear remains their power. But it capped by 1 human per year. And so far, that’s where every fear is at now. There are many places to the world you are put in, with a rival fear as the main evil doer! It’s like a fantasy novel all over again, how exciting! Oh, you’re wondering how to beat the game? Very simple, beat the main evil doer. How do you do this you say? Well, you progress!

Each human will be assigned a weapon when they reach a certain level. But how will they receive it, you ask? Well, they get to meet their favorite person! If they have stuck around in one place for long enough, then they would've already seen a glimpse or two of them. And how does a human level up? Well, by the time the human receives a child to take care of, they’re only one level away from getting the weapon. Oh, that leaves the answer for how they level up out of it? Well, you need to explore and kill things of course! You can’t leave your starting area without being level 2. That’d be silly! Though, I made an exception. Every once in awhile, there will be a lucky player. That lucky player will have to play twice in order to win. The second time, his attributes lowered rather than heightened. So if you’re a lucky player, watch out.’

The rest are just blank... Well, I guess it’s of no use... Wait, I can use it to attack the things outside! “Sit back and tight Penny. I’m gonna take ‘em out.” And without letting her respond, I just thrust up from hiding, attacking them all with one book.

DIEDIEDIE I WILL MEET YOU AFTER THE GAME IS DONE YOU FUCKS

Whoa, what the fuck. A random long scarf trilby wearing dude just came from the heavens and sliced all of their heads off. With a fucking longsword. Oh hello guy, you actually look cool.
     “Player, take the sword, you now have and inventory. Carry the book with you, make notes of your journey.” Well oka- HOLY FUCK IT LOOKS LIKE EXCALIBUR.
     “Gee, uh... Thanks ma-”
     “DADDY EIN!”
     DIRTY SWINE OF THE CREATURES ABOVE I SWEAR IF YOU- YEP SHE’S BEING ATTACKED.

Oh god. That was a lot of creatures. Man, this sword is pretty light. Shiny too. Though if that book was right, I better take this advantage whilst I can.

After saying goodbye to the mystery scarf trilby man, I put the sword on my back, the book on my side, and Penny on my shoulders. I set out to another place. I mean, my god. This is getting so intense.

Daddy Ein and Mama EAT~!

It’s been a weird morning. So far anyway. There’s a kid who I woke up next to, though she was still asleep. She woke up when I fell to the ground. ‘I’m the child of Ein’ which is weird as fuck in my opinion.
    “So kid. Where’d you come from?”
    “Mummy EAT!”
    “EAT? Thought she can’t have children.”
    “Well where do you think I came from silly?!”
    “I think you came from the village, snuck into my room, and went to sleep next to me.”
    “Noooo~ I came from mummy EAT’s tummy! Kind lady Willow show’d me the way here!”
    Wondering about how she came to be, I eat my toast. Good toast this is, raisin toast with melted butter. Though, I shouldn’t trail off who this kid might be, or why I still have these clothes on still. There’s a market place in town, so I should head there if I’m to get anywhere. “So. How old are you kid?”
     “6 and a half~!”
     Guess she needs a name. “Your name is now Penny, squirt.” Aw man, her hair looks so cute ruffled up. Oh, you might be wondering what she looks like? Well, I’ll start at her hair. She has long bed head Auburn hair, her eyes are of the color brown, and her dress is just a yellow dropping singlet. Fits her like a dress.
     “Geez daddy Ein! I’m not that young!”
     “Yeah yeah... Sure sure...” After finishing off my bread and brushing off my hands, I pick up Penny and put her up to rest on my shoulders. Surprisingly she isn’t really that heavy, more like a bag of books heavy really. With her on my shoulders, I set off out of the Inn and into the town. The town was fairly normal, like a medieval town. Just, without the sickness and the poor people begging for food and money. How they survived for so long, I don’t really know. But at least I can gather supplies whilst I’m here. But what’s odd, is that even for a quiet and kind town, they sell weapons and armor. I guess even if you’re peaceful, you have to fight for food. Well, I decided to visit the tailor first, get myself some new clothing.
      “Welcome to Insightful Clothing!” A woman rushed up to me as she noticed I came in. “How may we help you today sir?”
      “I’d like some clothing for myself and my daughter here. Something light and easy to travel in.”
      “We may have just the thing for you!” Grabbing my hand, she pulls me off into a more deeper part of the shop, where all of the clothing are. What’s more the sign says ‘Father
Daughter clothing’ the woman passes me a pile of clothing as I get Penny onto the floor. “Here! Some clothing for you and your daughter!”
       Taking the clothing, Penny follows me into the changing room. Seeing as she’s only 6 and a half, I guess I’m gonna have to be by her side a lot. Going through the clothing, I notice one piece of clothing. A Chinese Tai-Chi outfit. Though, it was small enough for Penny, and pink. Giving it to her, she undresses and gets into her new clothing. Though of course, I looked away from her as she was getting dressed, I had to look through the other clothing. The other piece was a yellow tux. As weird as it is, I had no choice but to wear it. As soon as I unbuttoned my jacket, it vanished away, changing into yellow gloves, revealing a yellow singlet with dog tags. Thinking about this awesome new look, I decide to give the yellow tux back.
        “So, did you like your choice?” Creepy enough, the woman was there to ask me, as if she was just standing there. I give her the clothing back and ask how much the Tai-Chi outfit was “Oh, we don’t have many customers down here, so you can just pay us whatever you have!”
        “That’s... Gonna be a problem. I don’t really have any money...”
      “Oh that’s fine then~... WE’LL JUST TAKE THE GIRL” Oh shit, things got freaky. She just turned into a weird robotic thing. Eyes all red, her hands just turned into long metal claw hands. Yeah, fuck this.
      “Um, hey. One thing before you do anything... FUCK YOU AND YOUR MOTHER!” Picking up Penny, I run off through the store, and oh my god that thing can be fast. DOORDOORDOORDOORDOORDOORDOOR OUT, CLOSE, FUCKING STAY IN THERE YOU SON A- WHOLE TOWN IS ROBOTS, FUCK THIS.

I got out alive with Penny. They seemed to have stopped chasing after us once outside the gate into the Willow Tree lands. Though they were scary as all fucking shit. Their skin just tore off as all sorts of things started growing on them, like fungi or something. Then... It was like the Transformers came to life. But with some kind of mental illness. I checked up on how Penny was doing, and she wasn’t phased by this at all. If at anything, she thought they were never normal looking. URK- I hear her again! You’re staying on my back Penny, better hug on for your life!

I made it to the Willow Lady again. Penny got off my back and ran to her, hugging her as if she was her mother. Though I kept my distance, just to keep safe. “Willow female.” I greet with a bow.
      “Human male.” Her tone seemed more upbeat. As if her sad thoughts were washed away. By something. “Did you. Find him.”
      “No. I only came across a village, from which I was accompanied by Penny. Later the town turned, trying to take Penny away.”
      “You were. Brave for. A human.”
      “I take pride in what I do.”
      “Daddy Ein ran so fast to protect me!”
      “I see. Human you. May stay. Here for. The night.”
      “Thank you, Willow.”

Slender dudes, Wooden females, and a village!


“BURN BEFORE THE FEET OF YOUR GODDESS DISCORDIA!” Yeah, fuck you too woman. My shirt is just dirt-
     Oh my god, it just flashed up like a lightbulb and changed into an army uniform. Blue rope, techy. Oh, a corporal, nice. Australian uniform too, just what I like!
      “Oi! You idiot! Get here before she burns your down!” I have no other leads! So I make my way to the person of which wants me over there, I dive and land on the wooden floor behind him as he closes the door. “Are you fucking nuts?! If Discordia saw you, she would of feasted on you immediately!” The screams of everyone running around and the fire doesn’t help your argument.
        “Aaaaaaand?” I get up, dust myself off. “Just because she’s big and scary doesn’t make her the god. Got a sword anywhere? I haven’t hit something in awhile.” With a look of disapproval, he just goes up stairs, later bringing back a black sword.
        “Aim for wherever you can hit.” And he just gave me the sword. Oh, you’re wondering about his appearance? As strange as it was, he was a 6 foot man wearing a tux. He was bald and had no facial hair, his fingers long and slender. Though, not long enough that they’re just all bone. Everyone, stay alive long enough for me to ward this thing off.
        “Every kid is aimed for this man.” Holding this sword in my right hand, I pat his right arm with my left hand and run out. The sword isn’t really that heavy, but it’s all I got now. “BURNBURNBURNBURNBURNBURNBURN!” Different this ti- oh it’s a minion. Oh, I see it, an unwilling minion. Tears just running down the poor thing’s face. OFF goes your head! And wow, this thing is SHARP. And it’s just come to me that I’m thinking of everything in all types of perspectives. Man, that’d be confusing if I was to ever write this down. I mean like, it makes more sense than writing whilst you’re fighting, unless you have arms growing out of your nipp- JEBUS ALL MIGHTY WHAT IN THE NAME OF ZAMORAK IS THAT?!
        It’s just, staring at me. Amazing since it’s calming me even in this fire. It’s like some abomination that has a tree growing inside of it. Though, it’s like she has some kind of family connection to me in some weird way. OH FUCKING SHIT, SHE’S BURNING! OW FUCK SHE’S HOT! NO, LIKE COAL BURNING TO THE CORE HOT! Welp, after a short while of her burning and me getting the fire off my clothing, I realised that this fire hasn’t ended. I’m starting to think of the illusion effect that only powerful entities can pull off. Then again, didn’t she mention her name was ‘Discordia’? That also translate to the Greek Goddess ‘Eris’ who is the ‘Goddess of Discord.’ But then again, Discordia has been a name I always called her. Man, every minute this gets stranger and stranger. Well, seconds should I say.
        “BURNHUMANBURNHUMANBURNHUMAN” Though if this was based off my mind... “GURHHH” Then wouldn’t I be married? Ah, I’ll find that out later. For now, I have to run out of these flames and into whatever place it is next. I hope they can live for awhile without the flames going away. Even if it is an illusion.

It took me awhile to get over my fear of the fire and jump through, but I just seemed to black out as something hit me hard on the head. What’s going on now? Well I’m in a forest filled with Willow Trees. The ground is just covered in burnt black leaves. Makes me just want to cry forever, hate every bit of humanity for decaying such a beauty. Though, I can’t help but admire what humanity has created. Willow Trees.
        “iweepiweepiweepiweeiweepiweep.” And there goes my ears, perking up like a dog’s. Oh, and where’s my sword? I’ll probably have to stick to what I know of Tai-chi. Which isn’t much. Anyway, yeah, I track down the voice source as it’s continued words are ‘iweepiweepiweepiweep.’ So, I hid behind the closest Willow tree to see where the noise was coming from. A pale woman, wearing a black elegant dress. She had a crown made of wood, all black like the Willow Trees. Though, her dress isn’t like the skin-tigh elegant dresses, it was one of the poofy ones. Like a true elegant dress.
        “Who is. There.” Her voice seems very monotone... But I do as she says, and I step out from behind the Willow Tree.
       “I am Ein, a human exploring this world for EAT.”
       “Human. Sit.”
       Again, to save my butt, I go by her commands.
       “Why are. You truly. Here.”
       “I do not know. But I myself would like to know.”
       “Discordia. Yes?”
       “She is my current target yes.”
       This leaves her thinking for a moment, pondering about... Something.
       “A goddess. Made out. Of wood. She controls. Even me.”
       “Though you seem much less insane, more beautiful.”
       “I suggest. Running. He shall. Help.”
       “The rational question would be ‘Who?’, But I shall not ask anymore. Thank you.” And I left quietly, only hearing a slight ‘Fear him. Not.’ From under her breath. Well, seeing as how I won’t get out of this forest in just a day, I might as well set up camp when I get further away.

It’s been days, the nights are even more scary. Though, during the day I can find some kind of guy just running around... All I could make out was a long scarf and a... Trilby maybe? Either way, that dude looked like he was going somewhere, so I didn’t stop him. Should of though, since I keep missing him everytime he comes through. But, I’ve been thinking over what the woman said to me alot. ‘He shall help’ … Whatever that means anyway. The only person who’s helped me so far was that tall slender dude. Though he was really sane, looked at me when I wanted to go out and fight that thing. My army uniform is still on too, dunno why though. What’s even more, I haven’t the need to shower or anything. What is this strange land of fantasy?

I’ve managed to track this guy down. Lead me to a town FULL of people! Though, it’s strange. Didn’t she say that the Wooden Female that I saw was a goddess? Meaning, she must of been the ruler of everything. This place looks like it hasn’t been attacked in what... 90 years or so? You have your kids running around and everything! Oh. Some have noticed me... Women, that is. They seem to be coming out towards me.

I was accepted in, they asked me why I was ‘Out in the reaches of Willow,’ so I gave them the whole story of how I got here. They were nice enough to give me a room in the inn, and a feast fit for a king! Though, I asked about the male wearing the Scarf and the Trilby. Their response was “Rapture” I hope to discover more in the morning anyway.

Friday 3 May 2013

The plot thickens.


Walking... Walking... Walking... I think I have a blister. Man, I haven’t walked for so long in my life. Though, to be honest I don’t feel hungry in the slightest. And what exactly is this doorway? It’s just been a long ass hallway, and what about my head being smashed in? Maybe I’ll just hum some kind of tune to pass the time. That works, doesn’t?
       Hmm... I can’t think of any- oh I got it. Maybe she’ll like it to? Well, I guess it’s just singing, but it works either way. “When I was a little filly... Galloping blaze overtook my village...” Yeah, that was stupid.
        “So they shipped me off to the orphanage.” Oh. Well I guess she knows the song. “I suggest if you want to pass the time, talk to me.” Can I mention that I want to marry this female? Sure, that’s abit weird seeing as how I’ve never met her. But my god is she perfect.
         “I guess if I can talk with you. Mind explaining this all to me?”
         “Glad to see you’re not shy. But I guess I can explain it to you. I need a test subject. But not just any. I need one that would resent against the others and myself. After spying on you for some months, I learned you were perfect. You feared them, but you weren’t afraid of telling them they weren’t real.” A giggle? Really? This is serious, be serious. “You even ran after what you thought was the Slenderman. Foolish, but brave. Your fists were clenched so hard.” Oh. That.
          That time was kinda funny. It was dark out, obviously, and I took a walk to blow off some steam from a heated argument with my family. Naturally, I’d walk over to the restaurant to order myself some dinner. I mean like, you just had an argument with your family, it’s not like you’re gonna get fed. But, anyway. I would naturally go to the restaurant we had in town, but I felt like going for a hiking trip until morning. Something to get some exercise for once. I had gotten my no-battery flashlight, it’s a cool thing. All you do is flip something, and then the thing on the bottom comes out. Then you just press it in alot and it charges up. I used it to find my way into the forest nearby, just off the levibank. Through some time hiking around there, I saw what I thought was Slenderman. And my first reaction, was to sock that bitch in the face. So I ran at the most fastest pace that my legs could handle, jumped, aaaaaand hit a tree. Amazingly enough, it was enough force to knock down the entire tree. Hurt my hand though.
          “Tell me. Who are you?”
          “You shouldn’t ask something you cannot run faster than.”
          “Cannot run faster than...?” That’s really a stumpin- You can’t run faster than you EAT. Shit, what. That means she’s EAT? Well, I just found out who I’m afraid of. “You’re a bitch, you know that?” Sorry, the moment called for it.
          “Being controlled by your greatest fear. Weird, isn’t? Though like I said, I needed a test subject.”
          “For what?”
          “A portal. It leads to another world where all the fears, including myself, are different in every way. We are more feared than loved. There are never any willing servants or cults. A perfect world. Though, I don’t know if it’s a one-way trip or not. I would like to- Ah, there it is.”
          I was enjoying your British voice damn it. How long have we been walking anyway? 4 hours? I lost track after 10 seconds. These doorway things aren’t very forgiving are they? Oh, what EAT found? A door. Leads somewhere though. A room full of wires and test tubes. I guess the average science room. Well, a messy one. ‘Least the papers aren’t everywhere.
          “Test subject, woohoo~ Over here~” Oh, now she’s adding a seducing tone to her voice. Perfect. Well, it seems this portal thing is just a big black hole. Except, it’s not sucking anything in. It’s just kinda... Floating there. “This is the portal I was talking about. When you enter through, well. I don’t know what will happen. I want you write down everything that you find there. That is. If you can make it back.” She walks up, closer to my body, laying a hand on my chest. “And if you make it back, I’ll be sure to give you extra fun.”
           “That’s enough of a promise for me.” Move EAT out of the way, back up abit. “I’ll make sure that notepad will be completely full if I find one, sweetheart.” Stupid line said. Run, jump, spin around. “Bang bang!” And I’ve entered!”
            Weird, the transition process seems to be a void of black. Whoa. Someone just went went past me in a motorcycle. Man, I need to get myself one of them. Probably a harley or some- GROUND.
             “BURN BURN!” The voice of... A woman?
             Oh god.
             Oh god no.

Thursday 2 May 2013

Starting out


Sitting against a tree, wondering where my life just went. Wondering why I’m up against this tree. All I remember was taking a walk to get some hot chips from the truck stop, but I was stopped at the big old tree on the way there. A female with blue hair and a blue dress... Oh shit.
    I look across to see the same female, just laying on my arm, her head resting lightly on my shoulders. And then it just hit me. Like a solid brick formed out of air. I lost my virginity to a stranger. Well hey, ‘least Jordan Dooling has nothing on me. Wait, mind. Scribble that out, he’s a bad example of anything. Not that I hate him or anything. It’s just. Fuck it.
    Oh shit, she’s waking up! Oh shit I just noticed I’m not wearing anything! FUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCKFUCK
    “Good morning pet,” the blue haired girl stretched, “confused? Don’t be. You’re mine now, and that’s all that matters.” She proceeds to push herself up, throwing some clothes onto me. “Get yourself dressed, matters of science are at hands,” she pauses before continuing, looking into my eyes. Ya’know that feeling you get when someone looks at you directly in the eyes, and your heart just fucking SINKS? Yeah, that happened. “And your life. I forgot to mention that. Dunno when she’ll arrive.”
    Who arrives? Fuck it, getting dressed. Pretty snazzy clothing. Mad Scientist outfit, I like it. I mean like, when someone gives you a white scientist trench coat and you don’t even know them. It’s a kind thought. But the people studied the periodic table know that kindness kills. … Ah what the hell, I’d let this kind of kindness kill.
      Anyway, she seemed to have walked off in the direction of my house, walking down the gravel alleyway. Funny having these kinds of alleyways, ‘least it separates this little town from big cities. Not that we’re far from a city anyway. Like what, hour ‘n a half? Why am I rambling to myself while walking, following a girl who I don’t even know. … I guess she is kinda sexy...
      I mean like, just look at those legs, and that body. Oh my sweet lord, if this wasn’t what you call a lucky break, then I dunno what is. Ohp, she’s looking at me. Quickly, act fast you fool! “Uhm, how’s the weather?” Yeah, no wonder you were gonna die a virgin.
        “You don’t really look like the kind of human I’d want as my personal pet. But you’ll do. I guess I can explain why I’m dragging you with me,” oh dear sweet lord of the high aboves, why is that giggle so cute? “I’m sure you’re a smart enough human to know what fears are. They reside everywhere, under your bed, outside your window... Oh the list goes on. Though to put down to the basics, some fears need servants. You, my little pet, are my personal servant that will do everything I want. Unless you don’t want to live anymore.” Well. That changes EVERYTHING.
        Standing there in silence, in the middle of a gravel alleyway. I just can’t help but stare into those eyes. What is she really meaning? I know about the fears, the main fears in fact. EAT being my most feared. Wait a moment. Wait a moment off the gosh darn ticket to Alpacanation. She looks just like the camper from that internet novel. Oh please let this all be a dream. I don’t wanna go through endless suffering from a Marionette. That’d be horrible.
         So, it seems after some time of walking we’ve stopped off at my house. Why we’re here, I dunno. But whilst we are here, I’m gonna just play with my dog for awhile. He’s so cute and fluffy, creamy color, kelpy. His name’s Barney, cute little guy. Really friendly too. Though, last time I fought with him around was then some guys were going to hurt him. I kinda just, lost control of my entire body and mind. Next thing I knew, they were bleeding and running away. Maybe I was fear itself during then? Huh, sounds like a crappy fanfiction.
          “Stop playing with your pet and get over here.” It seemed like she’d been waiting for awhile, tapping her foot like that. Gods, she’s probably younger than me. Though, I’m taller than most people in my age group. If she’s younger than me, and I tapped that. Does that make me, myself, a pedo? I really need to get my facts straight at times. “You’re really good wasting time aren’t you?” Oh, that’ right. I send Barney off to go back into the main backyard of the house. There’s two backyards that we have. One with grass and the garden, the next where I am gravel. Just pure gravel, and that big shed there.
           As soon as he scampered off to the main yard, I locked the gate and accompanied the blue haired girl. Now looking properly, she has opened the shed up by herself. Sure, I was able to do that when I was young. But without any effort? I must seem like a blubbering idiot, well not blubbering as I haven’t said anything that really good. “Where are we going?” There, something good for once. Normally you never shut up!
             “We’re entering a doorway. I’m sure you’ve heard of them. All we have to do is cross over and we’ll be at our destination.” Oh dear sweet lord, there’s that giggle again. It’s as if that one giggle of hers puts me into a restraint. “It’ll take some time though. But one thing before we enter. Don’t get your head smashed in.”
