Chapter IV: Hunger
----------------------------------------
"Please don't eat me papa Foo. I'm just a lost soul."
Foo wiped away his slobber and said, "No can do. It is very rare that we get a chance to feast on an unknown creature."
"Unknown creature?! I'm a man or at least I'm pretty sure I was."
"You are no man, my friend. I've been alive for nearly four hundred years, and I've never seen anything like you.”
"So you're going to eat me because I'm one of a kind?"
"In your terms, yes, but for us it means-"
"Please nooo, you don't want to eat me! I promise I'll taste horrible, you see I-"
"Silence food!" Yelled Foo as he put both hands flat on the rock.
You have been paralyzed
Many words of a foreign language came next, and soon the shuffling of feet became ever more distant.
"I have to find a way out of this! I refuse to be eaten by some crazed lunatic!"
Night began to fall and the sound of a storm could be heard conjuring up above. The storm quickly turned violent as the rain came down sideways and lightning cracked.
"Who's there?!"
This novel's true home is a different platform. Support the author by finding it there.
A shadowy hand appeared behind the rock and said, "I'm going to get you out of here."
"As long as I'm not going into a cooking pot, then I'm ready to leave pronto."
"No, no, no, I prefer baked goods. You're going into my oven," said the feminine voice as she caressed the rock.
"Damn it all, no!"
Before our rock adventure could do anything, he was lifted up onto the shoulders of a muscular woman and carried inside a warm mushroom house. Once the door shut, an immense amount of shouting followed suit.
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
You are no longer paralysed
"Alright, it's fight or flight time now."
Just as our companion heard a pair of footsteps approach him, he reached out with a mangled leg and kicked.
*Plop* *Crack*
He missed his abductor by a lot and ended up knocking over a stand containing an oil lantern. The oil went everywhere and the house quickly went up in flames.
*Sizzle* *Sizzle* *Pop*
"That doesn't sound good. Well, it's flight time now, gotta roll."
*Bang* *Bang* *Bang*
And so the rock rolled, bumping and pushing through all sorts of household items. All the shouting and heat made the situation exceptionally dire. Yet, by some miracle, the rock found an exit unbeknownst to most and rolled hard in one direction.
"I'm almost free of these hungry loons, just a little-"
A foot suddenly stopped the rock and said, "Oh no you don't, we can't upset Papa Foo now."
"Caw-caw!"
The adventurer noticed that his foe suddenly fell down for some reason and quickly chose violence. With one good roll, the rock grated the enemy. The enemy thrashed around like a wild animal underneath, only to give way to suffocation.
