OK, here's the beginning of another story.
Spoiler: Cursing silently, Sarah fought her way through a prickly cluster of some sort of bush thing.
Why, oh WHY had she let her sister convince her to go hiking through some unnamed forest. Not that it deserved a name.
" 'Get in touch with nature'," she thought savagely. " 'You really don't get outside enough!' "
Well, right now nature was touching her in ways and places she really could do without. |
Concentrating on worming her way past some clusters of particularly hostile-looking branchy, stemmy leaf-things, Sarah let out a shriek as she felt something wrap around her ankle.

Spoiler: | She screamed and tried to put her foot free, but the more she struggled, the more strong the grasp becomed. Suddenly, a more violent knock make her fall on the ground. Sarah took the first thing she found : a small rough stone, and throwed it at the direction of the agressive thing |
But, curiously, the stone rebound with a strange sound : something like "spwalounsh"

Spoiler:
'Well that doesn't sound right,' Sarah though. She peeked through the ferns in the direction where she threw the stone. On the other side was the largest cube of Jell-O she'd ever seen.
"Oh man, not again" it cried. "All I've ever wanted is some piece and quiet. I'm am sick of people throwing rocks at me." Silently the cube began to sob. Tears of Jell-O salads fell to the ground. Sarah began to feel guilty. She started to step back when she stepped on a twig. SNAP! The cube looked in her direction.
"Who's there! Step forward!" It yelled.
She stepped forward through the bushes.
|
"I'm sorry," Sarah said. "I didn't know you were here." |

Spoiler: "How sorry are you, really?" Asked the stone in a wily tone. Somehow, Sarah knew- if the rock had eyes, it would be slyly squinting at her.
Worried, she began slowly backing away. "Very sorry- I'll never do it again!"
The lump of minerals somehow seemed to appraise her doubtfully. Incredibly, it jumped into the air and bounced against a previously unseen button, cleverly disguised as a knot in a nearby tree.
Sarah began to run again. |
But alas, it was too late. The rodents of unusual size had discovered her. |

Spoiler: | She scrambled frantically to get away, crawling through the underbrush, looking over her shoulder to make sure they weren't gaining on her. Suddenly, her hand met with empty air, and before she could say 'Dangnabbit', she was falling down what looked suspiciously like a rabbit hole. |
"What am I in, a fairytale?", she muttered to herself, as she floated endlessly down, down...down...

Spoiler: *~*Five hours later*~*
Sarah hung limply in the air, still traveling down-down-down.
Incredulity phase? Check.
'Hello? Is anybody there?' phase? Check.
Hysterical flailing and yelling phase? Check.
By now, this particular experience was just getting old. Not to mention that she was getting hungry and thirsty, and oh! a restroom stop would be heaven.
Being preoccupied with her thoughts, Sarah had failed to notice that her motion had stopped, but the fact that she started to spin got her attention rather quickly.
"Ugh," she thought. "Keep this up any length of time, and I'll be sick." Could thing get any more unpleasant? |
"Oh look!" an unseen voice shouted exitedly. "It's a human! YUM-YUM-YUM!!!"

Spoiler: Sarah was getting tired of this. She bestowed a frosty glare upon her newest foe, and it seemed to regard her little more than one would a housefly. But what else could she possibly do to fend the thing off? Lay a guilt trip?
Desperately, she asked, "Didn't your mother ever teach you manners? I know you're a monster, but you're not a MONSTER, right?"
"My mother was DELICIOUS!" The somewhat dim creature growled emphatically.
Not really an answer to her question, but nonetheless all the answer she needed. 'So much for that tactic,' Sarah thought.
With sickening pops, four wickedly sharp horns and a misshapen pair of small wings sprouted from the being's body.
|
Time for her to get crazy, then. Mumbling, she reached into her pocket and grasped a small object her friend, Thomas, had given her. "I've been saving this for a special occasion, and I suppose now's as good a time as any." |

Spoiler:
She desarmed the security and opened the nail file / bottle opener / knife and remembered what Thomas had said : "This object can save anyone life at any time, man or woman".
She screamed again, just because it seemed the right thing to do and charge the unknown thing.
"Zigababidoo!" she shouted while the first tentacle fell on the floor, cut from the rest of the body, but with now manicured claws. |
Now, she could faced the danger. It was her turn to kick!

Spoiler: | She kicked out with a powerful roundhouse kick, followed by a low spinning sweep kick (accompanied by music from the The Karate Kid playing in the background), and very soon she had made mincemeat of the fluffy little zombie bunnies. She stood there, tired but triumphant, contemplating the big clean up ahead of her. Just as she decided to ignore the mess and leave she sensed someone watching her. |
She turned around crouched in a defensive stance, ready to face this new threat.

Spoiler:
Only there was no more threats. In fact, there was nothing more... everything faded to black around Sarah. "You need to give it a name," came a quiet voice from behind her. "The Nothing got to it. I managed to save a small grain. If you give it a name, it won't be nothing any more."
She looked at him, incredulous. "What the he--?" She looked around.... at nothing. "When did I step into the Never Ending Story?" she asked.
Slowy the boy began to chant, "This is the song that never ends, it just keeps going on and on because this is the song that never ends, it just keeps going on and on because this is the song..."
|
Sarah covered her ears. "NOOOOOO!" she screamed and ran off into the darkness. |

The story still needs an end. Any volunteers? Come on, just 2-3 more sentences and "The End'. Easy!

Spoiler: Unfortunately covering her ears didn't help much. The horrid screams followed her into the darkness. And-- were these footsteps pursuing her or was it just the thumping of her heart?
Sobbing hysterically, Sarah ran even faster up the gentle incline, never noticing that it ended in a rather ungentle cliff. As her feet carried her into the empty air, one last thought flashed through her mind. |
Her mother had always warned her about running in the dark.
-~- THE END -~-
This is about as final as I can make it.
