Alligators

I started out in a snowy forest. Everything besides the path infront of me was freshly covered in snow. The sun was shining through the branches of the trees and just made everything overall aesthetically pleasing. Once I was done admiring the scenery I started down the path. The further I went down it the more I began to hear what sounded like music. Eventually I found the source - a really basic looking boy with a guitar. He had brown emo hair and he just gave off " I'm an artist and no one understands my deep and meaningful art" vibes ( he also acted like that Spanish boy who hung out with Margo from Despicable Me). Of course I didn't care too much about what he looked like at the time because the song he was playing was pretty nice and really fit the aesthetic of the forest so I was just like " yo, wanna wander around together?" Which he was fine with so we did just that. At some point we came to the edge of the forest where the winter theme just seemed to stop. Infront of us was a very long bridge that seemed to stretch across an endless ocean. We gave each other confused looks before he was suddenly snatched by a malnourished old woman in a nice silver van. She gave off cruella De Vil vibes with the whole "ugly fancy" look. She was dressed like she was some 1980s pole dancer. Oh! She also had this huge nose that would put gru to shame.

( She looked like a Cruella De Vil and Gargemel fan child )

Anywho- she vroomed by at the speed of light, leaned out her window, and snatched up emo guitar boy. Me, stunned and kinda upset that this woman just yoinked my music guy, leaped halfway through her window and began wrestling her for emo boy. Also because I don't think emo guy was okay with this surprise adoption.

She began doing donuts on the road while fighting me until I eventually Lost my grip. She cackled at me, threw a metal heart amulet thing at my face, then drove off down the infinity ocean bridge. I stood up and brushed myself off while looking at the amulet thing but before I could pick it up the mayor from Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs walked up to me. ( He was in his tiny form ) He did some weird JoJo pose and told me to follow him. Me, deciding why not, followed him towards a tiny road bridge that was to the left of the big ocean bridge.

Before we reached the bridge he hopped on a skateboard and nyoomed the heck out of there. I didn't have time to react to it though because a white truck came out of nowhere and bumper cars style bonked me off the road and into this rotting bamboo river ditch. I scrambled to pull myself up with the bamboo and try to climb out but they kept on breaking. This made me panic and start shouting for help but the only response I got was laughter from these two old guys who looked like E.T. in overalls. They kept laughing at me and saying stuff like " Yep, they'll be good food for them." and " There's another one for them." I tried stepping on one of the stumps of the bamboo to try and climb out but everything finally broke and I fell into the dark water. Y'know those scenes in movies when the perspective is underwater and only the spot Infront of it is bright but everything else is darkness? Well it was like that. I tried swimming up but it was like I had gone all the way to the bottom. Since I wasn't getting anywhere I thought maybe I was swimming the wrong way, so I looked around for a light or something, but what I saw was figures moving around me quickly. Just when I thought something was going to get close enough for me to see something beyond a shadow, jaws of an alligator appeared out of nowhere and tried to bite my arm. I promptly thought " screw that" and began swimming as fast as I could, but they had me surrounded. Alligators coming from everywhere trying to bite me.

For some reason my brain though of how this dude on TV said if a shark swims at you, you should punch it's nose as hard as you could - so I did that with the alligator. Once I punched it they seemed to disappear and I made it to the surface. I looked around and noticed this little sandbar underneath the tiny bridge and began swimming over. Before I mad with I noticed these kids lined up underneath it watching me. There were these two twins in red and white striped sweaters sitting at the sides of this little black haired chunky kid. The stripe twins were laughing at me and making bets on how long I would last with the alligators while the dark haired kid stared off into space with a dead look. I decided to ignore them and just try to make it to the sand bar but I heard the suddenly stop laughing. I look up to see the twins look at these lumps in the sand next to them. I heard one of them mumble something like " This isn't just sand.." before alligators burst out of the ground, bite the stripe twins, and drag them into the water. Once those two were gone another gator appeared and ripped the arm off dark haired kid. Dark hair wasn't having any of that, though, and quickly snatched his arm back before smacking the gator into the water. He sat back down and began eating his own arm ( which looked like it was filled with red jelo instead of blood or bones or anything so nothing was gory?) While now holding a styrafoam to-go box. I crawled into the sand bar and just looked at him. He slowly turned to me and whispered. " You should run." I figured it was probably best to listen to the two foot tall kid who just bitch-slapped an alligator and ran back onto the road. I looked back at the bridge and saw the mayor just chilling there with the skate board. I tried to follow him again, which he quickly noticed an began skating again, but for reasons beyond me  another car came rushing down the road and instead of being resistant to the force like last time - I got freaking plowed down and died. That's when I woke up.

That was longer than expected. There's probably A LOT of mistakes too... But I mean oh well. ʅʕ•ᴥ•ʔʃ i could always edit it later. ( Aka procrastinate on doing a decent job)
