Up: Game 1  Up: Game 1 Outline

Free at Last!

Your back is bending downwards as your tail and legs are covered in the goo that is now working its way up to your neck. Either you've created a depression in the soft ground from all your wiggling around while trying to free yourself from the aggressively growing grass, or the "ground" was floating above the goo and you're tearing it apart with your motions. With your one free arm you reach up to your head  to free yourself and twist as the roots tear loose from the mane on your back.

Tearing at the roots that have held the thick, goo-coated mane of your head in place you break free and roll over onto your one stuck arm as you feel you legs, tail, and bottom half sink into the goo. The grass that had grown into your goo-laden fur causes the goo to have more surface area to coat and it weighs heavily on your body. Turning over completely, you are now up to your shoulders again in the goo, only your hands gripping tightly on the grass is keeping you from sinking back into the pit.

Kicking, or rather churning the goo with your feet you pull on the grass with your hands. With great effort you pull yourself and the heavy coating of good and grass up enough to you can reach out and grab more grass a little further away to pull yourself up some more.

Fistful by fistful you work your way out of the clinging, sucking pit. It seems to be trying to pull you back in any moment you stop fighting it. Heaving and panting, you try to grasp another fistful but only manage to catch hold of a few strands which break in your paw.  This causes you to slip back down into the goo.  Fortunately you still have your other hand holding a fistful of the grass on that side.  Reaching to the side, you grab another handful and struggle to make up for the distance lost.

Finally you are able to raise your tail up and get your knees onto the quaking mass of crushed grass.  You scramble forward through the grass to get clear of the goo for good, panting and gasping for breath.

Sitting in the thick grass as you try to recover from your efforts, you look at the goo in front of you trailing up to your tail and legs. Wiht the new coating they are even thicker with grass and goo than they were before with just the fur.

It's time to get away from here.
