Before you press the
big red shiny "FIRE" button which
would surely obliterate the alien ship, you notice another button that
of course says, "UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD
YOU EVER PRESS THIS BUTTON BECAUSE IT COULD CAUSE SOMETHING REALLY BAD
TO HAPPEN! NO REALLY, DON'T PRESS THIS BUTTON!" It's really
the biggest button you've ever seen. I mean, how else could they fit all
that text onto it... especially since it was the IMPACT font at 150 pt,
bolded with underlines. Seriously, that's one hell of a big fucking
button. How did they even get it on the ship? Did they build the ship
around it or something? It's just so big... so... shiny... so... so...
so........
Of course you pressed
it. OF COURSE you did. Didn't you ever read those Curious
George books when you were younger? Didn't you learn anything from them
other than the fact that the man with the yellow hat must've been one
lonely motherfucker to have spent so much time with a monkey. Maybe if
he lost that yellow hat he could've gotten a DATE for a change.
In an instant, the ship
and the entire world around you evaporates before your very eyes. You
feel yourself falling through the darkness for what seems like an
eternity. Remember that scene in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey where they
die and they're falling for a really long time and they just keep on
screaming for the hell of it? Yeah, that's kind of what's going on with
you right now, only on a much grander scale. Your fall is like 15 times
longer. Plus Tom Jones' "It's Not Unusual" is playing in the
background for some unknown reason.
After hearing the song
roughly 374 times in a row, your mind is about to snap when your fall
comes to a complete stop as you land softly in a marshmallowy cloud. I
would've said a "billowing" cloud, but this cloud is actually made of
marshmallows. You can even taste it to make sure. Tastes good doesn't
it? See? I told you it really was made of marshmallow.
You look around and
there's nothing but marshmallow clouds as far as the eye can see. You
don't know where you are, or if you're even in reality or in another
virtual reality or a virtual virtual reality or a... a... ah screw it.
Let's just say you don't know what the hell is going on, ok?
What you do know is
that there's something coming towards you from off in the distance.
Wait, what the hell is that? Holy crabcakes! It's...
THE CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON!
Quite a few things
strike you as odd about this situation: 1) Why/how is the creature
flying? 2) Why is his head so friggin' huge? 3) Why are you still
floating in marshmallow clouds? 4) What does this creature want with
you?
Well, at least part 4
is about to answer itself. The creature starts talking to you and you
try to stifle your laughter about how it sounds like he's talking in one
of those cartoony underwater voices like the fish in Pee-Wee's Playhouse
had.
"Hellollolololo
therere. I amamam the crerereaturere fromom thehe blackackack
lagoonoonoonoon!" he says. "You mustst chooseooseoose your
fateateate! All but one leadeadead to certainain doomoomoom!"
Just then a huge
billboard of choices appears above his head. Oh god no, it's all the
crap you've seen at those "As Seen On TV" stores!
So you have to choose
one of these things and only one of them is the correct answer? You
haven't exactly had good luck with the lotto, so you see no reason why
your luck would start here with these completely random choices. But
this is the hand you've been dealt and you had better do something,
because if you don't make a choice, that creature will probably eat you.
And you know something? I think his stomach is in his head. Maybe that's
why his head is so big... from eating people.
You
don't want to sit around to find out, so you make your choice:
