A Short Story

Chapter 8

Spoiler: It was supposed to be a mouth shape! Sorry if you couldn't guess it. 

You look in horror as the shapes all start to connect into a nasty mouth shape. You quickly scoot back to the opposite side of the birdcage. The mouth on the wall started to move and opened the wall to another dimension. The mouth was able to move along all the sides of walls, so you stood up and walked to the center of the cage. You thought that it couldn't get to you, since the mouth could only move along the walls, right? Wrong! The mouth slithered onto the floor, and you stumbled into the mysterious mouth.

You start falling from the sky, and you brace yourself once again for a terrifying fall. But when the time came, you bounced...? The floor just so happens to be a bouncy trampoline! Yay, you live to fight another day! You bounced up, all the way above the clouds, and back down onto the trampoline floor. This happened for a while, until you saw a flock of really big birds flying to your direction. It's like someone just took a bird and increased its size. 'Yes!' you thought. You could hitch a ride on the back of the bird and get away from this endless bouncing floor. So when the birds flew to you, you grabbed a wing of the bird, and lifted yourself up on the bird's back. The winged creature didn't notice, so everything was all good. 

This was nice. There wasn't anything bothering you, and it was a nice break from all the chaos surrounding you. The sky was a rose pink shade, and the grass was an orange-yellow color. As the bird flew farther and farther, you could start seeing the ocean, which was a light lavender hue. The blue sun reflecting off the waters and the soft breeze that combed through your hair was extra nice, and you felt as if this was all done and over with. This surely was a relaxing time. 

The bird you were riding on suddenly stopped and you almost fell off. But you grabbed onto a feather before that happened. 'Why did the bird stop?' you wondered. Then you saw a bigger and more powerful bird blocking your bird's way. The bigger bird then started to charge into the smaller one, knocking you right off, and into the ocean.

You splashed into the ocean with a BOOMF, and you quickly sank to the bottom of the ocean. You held your hands over your mouth, and started to panic, because you couldn't swim. You tried to push yourself to the surface, but it was no use. Apparently the gravity here underwater was much stronger than that of the surface. How did that work? No time to think about that. Before you ran out of breath, you had to come up with an idea to escape! You noticed that there were big fish were swimming all around. Maybe... you could grab onto the fins, and go along for another ride? But just the thought of the idea frightened you to the bone. You have a bad relationship with underwater creatures, and would rather not go near them. So you tried to think of some other possibility besides touching... them. Perhaps you could sit on an underwater volcano, and wait for it to explode to the surface along with you? No, that would take too long, and your bottom would be fried. Maybe you could dig underground and hide yourself in a hole? No, you're not strong enough to dig, and the amount of luck you would have to find yourself a hole is close to none! Then what to do what to do...!? You couldn't think of anything else, and was starting to look purple. There was only one choice that became evident in your head; you must latch onto a big fish and swim with it. Nooooo! You hated fish, and would do anything to not be close to it. But you had no choice! So you mustered up some courage, and held onto the next fish that happened to be swimming by. 

How horrible...! The fish was so slippery, you felt as if you were about to get swept away! But you held on. You held on for dear life, but it might've been too late. You forgot to take into account that you needed oxygen, so in conclusion, you drowned.        :(

GAME OVER

The words on the screen were enough to shock you awake, and as you came to, you quickly saw that there was some sort of helmet over your head. You took your tired arm, and lifted it over your head, and took off the helmet. There were some words on the back... "VR headset". What. So everything you went through was a virtual reality?! It wasn't real?! You looked around. An opened bag of chips were on the ground, clothes were unorganized, and there were multiple stacked up pizza boxes on the kitchen counter. A question then entered your mind: If you were in a virtual reality, how come you didn't remember anything you did in your present life? You scrambled to find the instruction manual and the game you were playing. "CHAOTIC ADVENTURES THAT DON'T MAKE SENSE" was the title of the game. Woww... You continued to read more. There wasn't anything else except for one paragraph that caught your eye.

"Warning! Playing this game will initiate a temporary mind wipe, to allow more engagement and enjoyment. Read the following sentence to regain your blocked memories:

I HAVE FINISHED THE GAME AND I WILL RATE IT 5 STARS

Feel free to turn this setting off, or you can challenge yourself and start fresh! Don't complain to the company of this game if you have any mental issues after playing. Thank you and enjoy!" 

Reading that short paragraph was able to make almost all your memories come back. How stupid of you to turn on that setting. But now the problem was solved and you can go enjoy your normal life. Also finish that pizza slice on the table.

Thank you for reading!! I hope this story was able to make you go "Bruh..." at the end.    :)
