This choice: A folded towel on the floor breaks your fall • Go Back...
Chapter #8
Hitching a ride
by: Unknown
You bounce off of a fluffy white towel and land dazed onto the wet rubber flooring. What you see when you look up is terrifying.
As far as you can see in every direction are legs, of all shapes and sizes. Over two dozen girls are in their swimsuits. Their towering legs crash onto the sqeacky floor left and right. You know you'll have to make a run for it of be squashed.
Like an ant on fire, you scramble in one direction hoping it will lead to an exit. The floor is difficult to navigate. Miles of suction cups placed diagnolally from one another litter the rubber surface, forcing you to zigzag rather than just go straight. A giant foot falls to your right, the sole and toes totally flattening the suction cups under it. You keep running, managing to evade two more feet that you barely are able to outrun.
After looking over your shoulder to see, you turn around and glimpse another foot off in the near distance. It's heel is beginning to lift off the ground. Your eyes follow the shin and thigh all the way upward to the sight of a giant girl in mid-step, her foot hurtling toward you! You shriek and stumble over yourself trying to run in the opposite direction. You get to your feet and run for your life, and in a millesecond the girl's heel has landed mere inches behind you!
The impact of the crash knocks you down! You roll onto your back, looking up at a sole descending straight down at you! Knowing you'll never run out of the way in time, you grimace through the pain and roll between the nearest two suction cups...
You feel like a bomb went off inside your head as the rest of the foot grounds itself right next to your head. The flesh of the foot pushes down on the suction floor, and a blast of air erupts from under it and over your body, bringing you back to senses. You give your head a little tug--it's stuck. The foot landed so close to you a bit of your hair has gotten stuck underneath. You carefully pry yourself loose and back away. Catching your breath, you can only gawk at the massive thing that almost killed you. The foot isn't moving anymore. It's toes toes flex and wiggle in a playful way that belies it's potential danger.
After you stare at it petrified for a second or two, the appendage once again lifts off of the floor with a sticky sound and lifts into the air away from you. You look above you to see that all the girls are now dressed in swimsuits and are heading in the same direction, out of the locker room towards the pool. Your relief is short lived, though, as you turn to your left to see countless pairs of legs stomping their way towards you!
Now that the girls got changed into their swimming costumes, they are heading for the showers! There's no way you'll be able to escape the oncoming herd of piston-like legs, thrashing toes, and deadly soles falling from the sky and smacking the ground one after another.
They advance on you like an army. You wince and cover your head just before they're upon you.
One of the girls takes a step past you with her left foot. It lands an inch or so away from you. She then shifts her weight and swoops her right foot off the ground and toward you. You peek through your hands a see a big and middle toe part from each other and swoop in on you like a pincer.
A girls leg brushes past you and you see a locker key dangling down from her leg. With a millisecond window you grab it as your determined to get to the pool and find Laura again. You feel safe with her.
You jump and clamp onto the dangling locker key. Having got a secure hold, you climb up it and perch on the top of the band. You hold on tight as the girl walks towards the pool.
