This choice: The two bullies destroying sand castles. • Go Back...Chapter #3Sandcastle Crushers by: Icarus   Everything and everyone looks so far away at your new size. You can't stand the thought of an immense trek, especially in this overbearing heat. You figure you might as well go to the two girls stomping sandcastles, since they're a lot closer than most others. Sure, they don't seem like necessarily the nicest, but they look to be around 10 years old or so. Surely they would help someone in need.
You begin the arduous journey of simply making it off your beach towel. You take long strides to avoid the large fibers offering too much resistance. And you do your best to ignore the sweltering heat. You think it's not too bad, until you reach the sand. Then, the heat gets so much worse. The ground itself feels like it's throwing heat right back up at you. Your only reprieve is you're pretty sure you're getting a decent tan right now.
Walking over the sand at your size is difficult, because it's like walking across dunes of gravel. After several minutes, you get the hang of it well enough, and you become focused on your goal. You zone in on the girls, they will save you, and you will get help. You continue your march.
THUD
A flesh-colored monolith stomps into the sand in front of you. Sand rains from above, pelting your skin. In only a moment, the monolith is gone. There is a large crater in the sand in front of you. Taking a moment to get your bearings after what felt like a near-death experience, you peek forward and see the crater is actually a footprint in the sand. You look off to your left, and see a giant woman, far away and getting ever farther, jogging in the sand barefoot.
You alter your path to go around the massive footprint, since you don't feel like trying to go through it, and now you take extra care to watch your surroundings. You would hate to get absent-mindedly crushed just because you weren't looking both ways before crossing the desert.
Eventually, you are finally near the girls. They are taking a short break, admiring the sandcastle they just finished turning to dust...er, sand. Their hands are on their hips and their faces filled with smirks. You do feel slightly concerned about them, but they're right here, now. And they're your best bet.
Which one do you approach?
1. The girl on the left. She's wearing a blue one-piece swimming suit with wave designs, has pale white skin, and shoulder-length wavy brunette hair. Based on what you've seen from watching the two girls, this one might be the lackey of the other.
2. The girl on the right. She's wearing a purple one-piece swimming suit with black accents. She has light brown skin and long, braided black hair. You think she may be the leader of their little duo.
3. Turns out they had a third friend...who came up behind you, and saw you before you saw them.   indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
