There is a blinding flash of light, and the clouds part as does the very sky as if it were a fabric that could be ripped. From this opening fly hundreds of winged beings, majestic and terrible in their beauty. They seem to emanated light and heat.. their bodies are so bright that it hurts your eyes to look at them. You avert your eyes, and when you dare to look up the beings are gone, the sky as it had been.. You notice a single golden feather at your feet and pick it up thoughtfully. ~ A $n smiles slightly in $s sleep.~ O 30002 char 0 0 0 S #30002 You find yourself in a labyrinth of pipes and gears. All around you, you hear clanks, bangs, and the rattle of chains. You smell the oil used to lubricate the gears. As you walk through this place, you find it looks familiar. You wonder why. Then you realize, you've seen it before! A gnome had been working on the plans a while back! Wait, is that pipe shaking? Yes, it is! All of the sudden you hear the shrill scream of alarms! You run as fast as you can, trying to get out, but it's just too big! Oh, no! BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You wake up, with grease in your hair. ~ M 30000 S #30003 An angel suddenly steps into view in front of you, quietly whispers your name, then tosses a small ball of light toward you.

Aren't they? ~ S #30005 Plucking an apple from a tree along the trail, you lift it to your mouth and begin to take a bite.. a faint whisper is heard.. pleeeease... pleeeease, slightly puzzled you ignore the faint voice and commence to take a satisfying bite from the ripe apple, and in responce a scream of mortal pain is heard..looking down at the apple in your palm.. a twisted and painfilled face glares at you from the plush ripe apple.. ~ O 30005 char 0 1 3 S #30006 Your walking down a grey road, and the scenes all about you are {Bblue{x, thats all you see, garish {Bblue{x for as far as the eye can see. You keep walking down the road, and you come upon a bench, with 2 people sitting on it reading news papers, you notice the papers are close to there faces. All of a sudden there faces morph into the news paper, and they put their hands down. They look at you then start talking to each other. You run as fast as you can down the road, till you see a woman, made of bones. She is taking a walk, with her baby in the cart she is pushing along, you decide to look closer, so you walk over to the cart made of bones... You look in side and the baby screams so loud it knocks you back a few feet. You run as fast as you can, you come to a cliff. ~ S #30007 You're resting peacefully, dreaming about beautiful green fields, full of colorful flowers.. the sun shines brightly overhead, when an odd sensation awakes you. You wake up to feel an odd burning sensation on your left hand, and look down to find your hand literally on fire! Bright flames and greasy orange smoke rise from the palm of your hand, as you sit helplessly and watch the skin drip and crackle, peeling away from the bones as you begin to scream in agony.. You sit bolt upright in bed, rocked to the core of your being as you realize this was only.. a dream..? ~ S #30008 You feel a tickling on your arm, you try to reach over and scratch it but you find yourself frozen. You open your eyes to see a bright light shining at you. Shadows move in the background and you hear a throbbing sound A sting from your arm feels like a needle and you realize that your very marrow is being drawn from your bones. As you are just about to pass out you hear alien voices buzzing quietly... ~ O 30006 room 0 1 1 S #30009 You are being led down a corridor. You are completely shackled and each arm is fiercely gripped by a decaying zombie...They force you into a large dark throne room. Before you sits Egil on a throne of chipped bone and patchworked flesh. He is in deep conversation with Withers, who stands to his left. Withers leans over and whispers something into Egil's ear, and Egil turns to glare at you. He extends his arm, makes a fist, and points his thumb down to the floor. Excruciating pain fills your entire body, and you look down to see your skin dissolve into dust. You open your mouth, and a scream of hopelessness escapes........ All goes dark....... ~ S #30010 You hear flutes in the distyle. As the fog clears you realize that you are standing in a quaint village filled with small happy fauns. A small male approaches you, smiles, puts a pipe to his lips, and begins to play a tune. He walks away - and you begin to follow. At first you are enchanted ...but you slowly come to the realization you can't stop! You struggle from the sound...throwing your hands over your ears...but it solves nothing. He leads you away from the village into a dark, ominous forest. The sound begins to drill into your eardrums...then your brain... You awake with a start! ~ S #30011 You feel a soft brush at your neck, and ignore it. Then you feel the fangs PIERCE your skin and your lifeblood being taken! You sit bolt upright, your heart pounding! You look about but see no one near you. You calm yourself and drift back to sleep, realizing it was only a dream. Or was it...........? ~ S #30012 Looking back you see hundreds of people running your way, all screaming your name and waving weapons in the air. You have no idea why there chasing you but decide it would be a good idea to get out of there! Starting to run , you run down many streets and alleys slowly winding your way out of the town only stopping occassionaly to fight someone that jumped out in front of you. After what seems like forever you come to a small inn and decide to stay for the night. After paying the innkeeper extra to not tell anyone you're there you go up to your room and tend to your wounds. Shortly after, you hear a horde of people come in and question him, then go racing off... The next morning you thank the man and go off looking for a new place to hide, fearing they will eventually catch up to you, and you wonder what they will do then... ~ S #30013 You shudder from the cold as you see a scene of a vast frozen wasteland you begin to stumble around in the cold snow drifts and frozen ponds the cold begins to reach your fingers and toes as you begin to loose feeling in them, all of a sudden a man dressed in black appears before you in one hand he is holding a dagger and in the other... YOUR HEAD!?!! As you begin to scream it slowly fades away as you feel the frost from a short blade against your neck. ~ A Mumbling strange words, $n passes into a deeper sleep.~ A $n lets out a cry and a bit of blood drips from $s neck!~ O 30001 room 1 1 25 S #30014 Aaaaaahhhh, what a good nights sleep you had. You stand up and stretch letting everybone in your body snap and pop.. Looking at the clock you realise it's only 6:30AM and that mabye it would be a good time to go check out the mud. As you start walking to the computer room you feel a cold chill run thru your body but just shrug it off. As you enter the room and look over to where your computer is, you realize IT'S GONE! Thinkinng you've been robbed you run to the phone, but find it isn't there either! Feeling scared, and invaded you look around to see what else is missing when you notice the door, and none of the windows have been broken into. Another cold chill runs thru your body and you hear a voice off in the background... 'You are entering another dimension...' ~ S #30015 You sit on the green grass beneath a broad large oak tree staring out at the sunlit fields while a soft warm breeze touchs you lightly. Staring up through the leaves you can see motes of sunlight peeking through and you can only think of how wonderful it is to be alive... Suddenly, violently the weather changes, wind whipping almost through you, chilling your soul. The plains turn a drab grey and they sun clouds over. Something caresses your shoulder and you restist temptation to look even though it frightens and freezes your blood.... Like a snake striking a tendril wraps around your neck choking you. Fighting to scream, for even a sound to escape your throat, you claw at your unkown foe. ~ S #30016 A hand grabs your shoulder and a grizzled old man peers at your wounds. 'Hmmmm, let me see.' He digs in his pouch and pulls out a smelly potion. 'Here, drink this.' As you raise yourself from your slumbers, he disappears. All that remains is a vial that reeks even from arms length. ~ O 30003 char 0 0 0 S #30017 You hear the slow flap of wings. It draws closer and closer. Looking up you can see a large silver dragon outlined against the sun. As it draws nearer, you see a golden lyre dangling from a strap around its neck. Suddenly you let out a scream and run for cover. You fall. splat. Heartbeats later. SPLAT!! ~ S #30018 The bright beam catches you on the shoulder and you scream in pain as your flesh rips open. You fumble with your gun and try to unjam the trigger. Still unable to get the laser to work, you throw it to the ground in disgust. Holding your injured shoulder with one hand, you reach with the other into your pack, pulling out a small blinking sphere. You close your eyes and say a silent good-bye to your fleet, only praying they made it out in time. You can hear the strange foreign shouts of the Krakians coming up quickly, and you shudder in fear. Soon they are nearing the gate you're in and you know it is time. You push a glowing button on the sphere and it begins to beep loudly. '10 seconds until utter destruction' a computerized voice intones. You clip the sphere onto the wall as the Krakians enter screaming. There is a sudden white light and then nothing.... ~ S #30019 Running through the forrest, your heart almost pounds out of your chest. The cold sweat pouring down your cheeks blurs your vision and the burning is almost unbearable. You can hear the rapid hoofbeats close behind you and the howling of dogs on your scent. There!! Up ahead you see a light!!! Happy tears stream down your face as you run to the flames. As you are almost upon the flames your laughter stops and is replaced with piercing shrieks. Where are the horrible screams coming from? You turn and see 2 charred bodies running madly around, still covered with flickering fire. You cover your mouth as the sickening feeling over comes you and you collapse into the flames and join the poor people behind you. ~ S #30020 You are in a large cell with mattresses completly covering every wall.. You try to move but find that it is nearly immpossible since you are in a straight jacket. You scream as loud as you can, hoping that someone will come, but nobody does.. You're doomed to stay here for the rest of eternity, there is no escape.. ~ S #30021 Breathing heavily, you duck behind a stone wall. You can hear them behind you, dozens of them. It had been a long and glorius battle. One by one you comrades had fallen. Now there was only you left and your quiver is empty. Breathing deeply, you calm yourself. Sword left in the chest of a battle dragon, arrows expended, all you have left is the small charm that an old woman gave you. ~ O 30007 char 0 0 0 S #30022 You hear fighting all around you, looking around you realize you're in the middle of a gang fight. You notice that you are holding a 6 inch knife, and there's a man in front of you pointing a gun at your head. All of a sudden you hear strange noises from behind you and the man with the gun whirls around to get a better look. As he does, you lunge the knife into him and knock the gun out of his hand. realizing what you just did, you take off running, and keep running, leaping over a 8' fence no problem, running, running, running until you can't run any more and you collapse under a tree. Finding yourself exhausted you pass out without knowing it. Your vision goes {rblood-red{x and the man you stabbed is burned into your mind until you wake up trembling in horror. ~ S #30023 You look into their eyes, unable to break the gaze because of its intensity. She reaches for your hand and places it in hers. Holding it there for a moment of sadness, then kissing your forehead lovingly she goes. You watch her leave, and a single tear falls to the ground, you know she will never return. Realizing she left something in your hand you open it to find a small ring with a beautiful amethyst set in it. You put the ring on your own finger and swear to never forget the most important person in your life. Once again you cry for the loss of your mother. ~ S #30024 Ahhhh... Asleep at last, it's been a long time since you've had a good nights sleep, and you figure that tonight should be different.. Or should it! All of a sudden you feel a burst of energy run thru your body, and you break out in a cold sweat! YOu feel as if someone or some THING is pulling your body, down, down, down, your pulled until your at the center of the earth. Then a deep voice speaks, I have been waiting your arrival it booms. Looking around franticlly you see a dark figure with horns dressed in a blood-stained cloak. 'You have been very bad...' it continues 'for this I will punish you!' With that you feel a draining of strength and you fall to the ground. Trying to get up you realise that you can't move! Then the voice booms 'And now, you DIE!'

Sudden blurs of movement fog your already hazy eyes. Praying for strength you struggle to rise to your feet. You fall to your knees, too dizzy to stand. You realize everyone else has escaped through the passage and you are left alone... The door bursts open and you lift your head to see. Laughing in hysteria you know it's over and there is no escape. The dark figures roughly pull you to your feet sneering in disgust at your hideous appearance, the leader snaps your neck and all is silent in the church yard as the 7 nuns dispose of your body. ~ S #30026 As you start to drift off to sleep you see sheep jumping over a fence.. One Sheep, Two sheep, Three Sheep, Four Sheep... Slowly as you fall into a deeper sslleep the sheep start morphing into wolves.

You wake up bathed in a {rblood-red{x sweat.... ~ M 3000 S #30027 You are surrounded by golden flames. You frantically look for a way of escape, but to no avail. You smell the armoma of burning flesh. YOUR FLESH! The flames around you seem to be getting hotter. You scream but no one hears your voice or is it that no one cares. You run aimlessly but the flames seem to follow your every move. THERE IS NO ESCAPE! As the flames are about to engulf you... You realize....its only a dream....its only a dream... Or is it........ ~ M 15457 S #30028 A warm incredible feeling of happiness washes over you. It feels like you are floating on a bed of air and a thousand butterflies are fluttering over you gently cooling you with the beating of their wings. A far off harp peacefully fills the air with soul-stirring music. As you open your eyes, you realize the sweet aroma filling the air comes from the hundreds of flowers on and around you with still more floating down from the sky above. You close your eyes hoping to retain these feelings forever. ~ A down from the sky to cover $n as $e lies sleeping.~ A The air is filled with sweetness as hundreds of flower petals float~ O 30008 room 0 1 6 S #30029 You are walking down the street on a bright and sunny morning. People are laughing and smiling happily as you walk by and you smile in return. It sure is nice to see people happy for once.

A low voice growls in your ear 'fear the ghost pirate Acheron' The fog swirls again and is gone. You are alone and trembling..fearing the day that he might return... ~ A $n fidgets and mumbles strange words in $s sleep.~ S #30031 You look around at a land you've never seen before wondering why it seems so familar.. you hear the slithy tothes giriing near by <eh?> you feel something moving around your feet and look down to see the mome raths swarming around you.... a flock of jubjub birds flap towards the sky from some nearby bushes startled by something ..

Darkness. ~ S #30033 You feal someone breathing down the back of your neck.. you open your eyes to see a huge cat-like creature growling behind you..it smiles and you see a row of hideuos sharp teeth..before a scream can pass your lips it sinks it's fangs into your neck. Everything goes black. ~ S #30034 Soft breezes blow against your skin, the salty air bitter on your tongue. You see them... so soft... so unreal...

And you are alone. ~ S #30035 Walking through the twisting corrodors of the endless dungeon.. you trip over a rock.. trying to get up you find your arms and legs stuck.. from the last faint flickers of your torch you see a gigantic web or sticky fibers... struggling against the tight pull of the web.. you hear a strange clicking sound come from above.. and as your torch goes out a enormous black spider floats down upon you.. ~ S #30036 Being led through a crowd of hissing and booing peasants.. two guards push you along towards a strange platform in the center of the square. shackles bear their heavy burden upon your chained arms and legs.. Rotten fruit and eggs sail through the air at you.. steping upon the wooden platform, you are forced to kneel and a strange wooden bar secures your head from moving... looking upwards you see a pair of straight wooden poles and at the top a gleaming harbringer of death.. a sharp blade.. hearing a voice accost you from behind the words are barely heard as the crowds yells.. you have been accused of murder.. and found guilty by the court.. executioner let the blade fall.. and the last thing you hear is the grinding sound of metal against wood.. pain.. and then oblivion ~ S #30037 Sitting upon a plush throne of gold and frilly pillows you feel a breeze.. looking to your right and left you see a pair of beautiful servants waving peacock feather fans through the air.

The potatoes start to roll around on your plate, and some even jump up and down, making a huge mess of your vegetables, and a loud ruckus to boot. Hey buddy, says the slab of flesh you called dinner. Why don't you pick on someone your OWN size? ~ S #30043 The cat grabs the dog by the nose and bonks him on the head. The dog, growling, pokes the mouse in it's eyes.

You remember the name if the horse and rider,it's Knight-Mare. ~ S #30047 A flash of spinning silver trapped in a whirling sphere of dimpled gleaming light Friction a fiction, the body slides without feeling, presses without resistyle splayed like a starfish scrabbling for purchase Inevitably funneled into a chrome trumpet of doomsounding thunder spun into a slick wet thread of bare bony wire ~ S #30048 Tick Tick Tick Tick ... The sound of the clock echos though the house. Somewhere between sleep and wake you drift ... Something big is going to happen, you can sense it. TICK TICK TICK TICK ...

TICK TICK TICK TICK ... ~ S #30049 A pair of ginger-haired twins, pale, thin and beautifully androgynous stand before you, smiling cryptically. They look at you and say, in unison, How nice of you to visit! We've been waiting for you...

He opens his mouth in a wide grin and you realize.. he has fangs. ~ S #30050 You hear a slow, pulsing beat, rushing liquid.. A bird cries out in the distyle.

You struggle and try to cry out, but no sound comes.. ~ S #30051 Right, left, onward. The hall seems to stretch endlessly. Is this the door? No. Is this the door? No. Onward...there seems to be no way out. Ahead you see a figure crumbled on the ground. As you turn him over he crumbles into dust. All that remains is a large black opal strung on a gold chain. ~ S #30052 Ahhhhh you are in perhaps THE most comfortable bed ever. The blankets arranged just so, and very warm... Your dog cuddled closely to you. and your arm hangs over the edge of the bed...Ahhhhhh. then a hand comes from under the bed and GRABS your hand! You wake up in a cold sweat!

You realize it's a dream and think, OK, I'll wake up in a minute. As the ground draws nearer, you begin to scream in terror of death. You hit the ground with a sickening crunch, and lay there until you bleed to death. ~ S #30057 You move but hardly notice the feeling of the floor.... You grab a 20 by 30 foot canvas and vainly attempt to set it up.... Three or four passers by stop to inspect your work.... Everything you needed is now available but you feel as if soon it will be gone... The walls close in and a glowing presense alerts you. You dig at the walls with your fingertips, trying to get through The cinder block comes loose! You are free! You squeeze through the hole And in the next room...it is exactly the same.... ~ S #30058 You push through a crowd of people, repulsed by the smell of bodies, of heat, and of greed. A thousand booths stretch out along each side of the street, each selling a different ware or service. A particular booth catches your attention, the one in which you catch a glimpse of white and gold.. As you get closer you see a caged unicorn, pure white with a gold horn. Next to the grubby man selling tickets to touch its horn, it looks all the more majestic. It turns sad, pleading, doelike eyes on you, and you can hear its thoughts, its anguish, its utter lonliness and longing to be free.. ~ S #30059 You awake in a soft, warm bed. As you bask in warm glow of firelight you wonder how long it's been since last you've had such comfort. The firelight fades and turns from {Rred-orange{x to {Bblue{x to {Wwhite{x to a {Rs{Gp{Ye{Bc{Wt{Mr{Cu{Gm{x. The colors surround you. You hear soft music, filling your ears and your soul. You are swept away on the bittersweet and melancholy chords, your spirit lifted and your heart twisted.. You hear faint laughter, a woman's voice, a child whimpering softly.. You begin to cry suddenly, and are not sure why. ~ A $n sobs quietly in $s sleep for a moment then is still once again.~ S #30060 Horses thunder past you, bearing naked riders to who knows where. The sound of horns echo in the distyle. ~ A $n tosses restlessly in $s sleep.~ S #30061 Strange {Wc{Go{Yl{Ro{yr{Bs{x swirl around you, blinding you. ~ A $n mumbles in $s sleep.~ S #30062 A pair of gleaming red {Re{xy{Re{xs shine from the pitch black darkness. Hearing the creatures breath, you freeze. Closer and closer it creeps, scraping its claws against the dungeons stone walls. Panicking, you begin to run through the darkness blindly. Out of breath, you stop and listen.. all is silent in the pitch blackness... Suddenly you feel somethings icy claws bore into your flesh! ~ S #30063 Feeling the cooling surf wash over your feet and the wet sand creep its way between your toes, you smile briefly. Looking across the horizon you cannot tell where crystal blue ocean ends and sky begins. Above you the rustling of palm trees are your only companion on this lone beach... ~ M 2322 S #30064 Soaring through the skys you fly, diving and careening through the gusty wind.. Looking below you, the ground slowly dissapears, leaving you flying through empty and endless sky blue sky.. As the sun sets, sending golden rays streaming acoss the air, you glance back and find you have no wings! Gasping in terror you begin to falllllll..... ~ S #30065 At the head of a vast and powerful army, you lead your troops toward a secluded village.. Unsuspecting and innocent, the towns people see your approach and begin to flee in terror! Giving the order, your archers and pikemen rush toward them! Sending flaming arrows into the sky, fires begin to ignite around the defenseless village.. slaughter and blood fill the scene.. as innocent lives scream for mercy.. ~ S #30066 Moving your hands through the air, you summon powerful magics! Creating and destroying worlds, setting ablaze all of time! Cackling with your god-like power, you crush whole races between your fingertips.. and create new ones with a single thought, to worship your awe-inspiring power.. ~ S #30067 Sitting before a vast table, you and a hoard of guests begin to eat.. Course after fine course flows across the table... and toast after toast of fine wine flows throughout the hall! Minstrels begin to sing songs of valient bravery and lost love.. as people get up from their hosts table to dance... ~ S #30068 Frantically looking around, your arms hit the bars of a cold iron cage.. Panicking, you rattle the bars hoping to escape.. finding the door unlocked, you quickly leap from the cage.. when suddenly a seemingly giant roar echoes in your ears.. Looking above, you see a common yet titanic tabby cat licking its chops, waiting for a delicious meal. Before you can react, it pounces upon you... ~ S #0 #SPECIALS S #$
