The Middle Path...

Not knowing where to go, and knowing that if you stall you will be caught, you choose the path directly infront of you. You hurry along the path, not wanting to be discovered by your pursuers, but you can't help slowing down after a few minutes. This path is so peaceful, it will not matter if you just stop and rest for a moment.

You sit on a rock and catch your breath for a few moments. As you are resting, a pleasant fragrance wafts up to you from deeper in the cave. You decide to follow it farther down, so you get up and continue walking at a steady pace.

The walls on either side of you are beautifully decorated with figurines of animals that you have never seen before. You recognize one of them to be a mythical creature in a story that you read once... a cat, you believe it was. The small, graceful creature with short, pointed ears and bright eyes. Another one of the figurines looks similar to the cat, but has a longer snout, longer ears, and blank looking eyes. One of the strangest of the figurines looks like a large rock with patterns on it, and a head! You wonder what kind of sick-minded creature would make things like this.

As you continue on the path, the shelves of figurines end and are replaced by paintings of strange creatures. You can see that the paintings must have once been colorful, but now are dull. One of the creatures, you can make out fairly well, is a large, fat, green, demonic-looking thing. It has an odd square on it's stomach, and a green stick coming out of it's head. You are now sure that the being that painted these pictures was crazy.

You decide not to look at the walls anymore, as they scare you. Instead, you concentrate on what the lovely fragrance might be. As you walk, you can hear faint music coming from further down the tunnel. The tune seems happy, and rather lively... a tune that you have never heard before. You feel that you would like some music, so you quicken your pace to get to the odd sound.

After several more minutes of walking, the music is very near. You enter a large room, and are startled by what you see. Four brightly-colored creatures are bouncing around the room like crazed idiots. Every few seconds, one of them will shout out some strange noise with the beat of the music. You recognize the odd, green creature as one of the four. The other three look much like it, only different colors.

As you stand watching, dumbfounded, the short, yellow creature comes up to you, points, and makes a high-pitched gurgling noise. You are terrified by this, and try to run, but she (he? it?) chases you. The creature is much faster than you are, and it has quickly caught up with you and wrapped its arms around you in what seems at first like a sign of affection. After a few moments, though, you realize that this creature is trying to destroy you, and is surely posessed by the evil gods of the underworld. As the evil, fat, yellow blob squeazes you tighter and tigher, you see red spots before your eyes, and then all goes black.

The End
