>>5778054It takes your brain a few seconds to catch up, but when you return to the present you could <span class="mu-i">swear</span> you were <span class="mu-i">flying</span>!
A crisp, rejuvenating dew washes your sweaty, ash-covered face as a scant few sun rays poke through the clouds above and warm your still-damp clothes. Like a comedian that’s told a few too many flops, the storm begrudgingly shuffles away to welcome the morning… and <span class="mu-i">you</span>!
Always the first to react, Raj stands up on the <span class="mu-s">FRUIT CART</span> pumping his fists and cheering like a wrestling match spectator–his enthusiasm and relief are, as much as you hate to admit it, pretty infectious!
“Git <span class="mu-i">DOWN</span>, ya’ moron!” Chides Chuck as he shoves the skater back onto the cart while trying and failing to hide a faint smile, “<span class="mu-i">Kids…</span>”
Pepper, on the other hand, is like a girl riding a pony for the first time–her eyes radiating like sapphires in the morning sun with childlike mirth and wonder gleaming off of them! Turning to meet your stare, the girl gives you a smile that rivals the sun in its warmth… one that you can’t help but return!
As it is wont to do, however, gravity shows up to crash the party. <span class="mu-i">LITERALLY.</span> Landing on the green of <span class="mu-s">HOLE 18</span> with a definitive ‘<span class="mu-i">FWOMP</span>’, your trusty <span class="mu-s">FRUIT CART</span> does what any rickety wooden construction would do after falling for a good three small paragraphs:
Smashes apart.
Landing on the polished grass with a synchronized ‘<span class="mu-i">OOOF!</span>’, you and your erstwhile companions lay where you land for a few moments as one of the cart’s wheels rolls for a few more feet before falling flat next to a long-dead slasher’s corpse.
The grass is damp. Itchy. You can even smell some smoke from the lab below poking through it, but right now it’s the most comfortable bed you’ve ever laid on…
And if anyone’s deserved a moment’s rest around here, it’s <span class="mu-i">you</span>.
Not to mention the mother of all <span class="mu-i">tips</span>.
What do?
