《Spaceslime》Day 7 – Nightmare
Advertisement
Falling asleep I start dreaming again.
Good old Mr. Pick and Flick as usual.
“Awesome”
Suddenly a feeling of panic starts growing inside me.
What is this?
What is happening?
I am scared.
Aaargh!
I finally wake up.
That sure was a scary dream.
I am never going to eat my own droppings ever again.
Man what a scary dream.
I re-experienced being trapped without being able to move including all the feelings I had at the time, several times before the dream finally ended and it returned to the usual viewing of Mr. Pick and Flick.
"Never eating my own droppings ever again!" I loudly declare feeling my body vibrate yet again.
Right next to me I feel a lump.
Hmm Mr. Pick and Flick must have passed by given me a fresh supply
"Thank you for the meal!"
Now for today's agenda:
1. I will return along Ms. Tingleywall to my original corner to make sure that I haven't missed out on any goodies on my way here.
2. After arriving to my old corner I will start moving in a new pattern to make sure that I will not be too far away from Ms. Tingleywall as I seem to be dependent on her for my digestion.
3. I will not eat my own droppings ever again!
Time to get moving.
I start wriggling my way along my one true love and can feel that I manage to move at quite a good speed.
No goodies so far but I can tell that the side of my body that is facing away from Ms Tingleywall is moving over a small section of floor that contains that grainy substance.
I believe that it is due to me increasing in size and that I previously was moving so tightly against Ms Tingleywall.

The strip of grainy substance that my body is passing over and absorbing seems to be slowly increasing the further I move.
"Boring!"
I shout out loud to get my body to start vibrating in that funny way again.
After traveling for quite some time I notice that I am not getting tired or sluggish at all, I wonder if it is due to the fact that I am hardly eating anything at all on this journey.
As I am wriggling my way, feeling quite bored I suddenly bump into the corner.
That was quite fast actually, oh well.
Time to explore this new wall.
As I start moving along this new wall, it does not take long before I encounter another tiny crack that I have learnt by experience will soon be followed by another one.
About halfway to the second crack I notice something new in the wall next to me.
First there was an edge followed by a round hard lump with some sort of pattern in it.
I attempt to absorb these new things but nothing really happens, I can feel that the round lump slowly rotates but it does not seem to do anything else so I choose to move onward in my quest for deliciousness.
I feel a few more round lumps with the same pattern but after attempting to eat a few of them with the only result being that slow rotation I decide to ignore the rest, soon there is another edge going the other way and I continue moving onward.
I encounter the second crack where I pretty much expected to and continue to follow the wall.
Surprisingly enough I encounter a new corner pretty fast and I am overjoyed to notice that it is a treasure trove of deliciousness.

Lumps, half-moons, and a few strands of string.
And last but not least. A square box about half my own size.
I attempt to push the square box and it actually seems to move.
Moving around it I notice that there seems to be a hole pattern on the one side.
I push a small section of myself into the hole pattern and instantly feel a rush.
It is like touching Ms. Tingleywall just a lot better, I can feel my entire body is buzzing.
Awesome
I cannot help myself.
I am going to eat this Tingleybox.
I have to stretch myself as far as I can finally be able to absorb it.
Wow, that sure was filling.
But it seems I am unable to penetrate the box now.
Bummer.
Oh well, I can feel myself getting rather drowsy.
Time to return home to Ms. Tingleywall.
It sure it hard to move when I am this full.
After exhausting myself I am finally back home, and as I finally reached my loved one I instantly start fading away.
Arrgh!
A feeling of panic and dread fills my entire body.
Oh no!

8 112For King and Kin: A Fox's Journey
Two fox-kin siblings set out to serve a human king, hoping to secure ties with the royals that had formed in times of war. Yet, much is demanded of them as their father's reputation precedes them. They find the King struggling to keep his vassals from breaking the terms of the armistice. With reports of smuggling increasing and the nation's strategic resources at stake, their father is sent to oversee the border. The king, fearing for his own children, hopes for six more months. Meanwhile, tavern brawls turn bloody as a cry spreads across the land, "Loyalty? Or bread!". What to expect: - cold steel weapons with magic- colonial-esque era- elements of strategy (including logistics)- powerful mages that can't block a crossbow bolt. Except for some earth mages.- realistic depictions of violence. I don't care to focus on it. - other races introduced eventually, if they fit. - Australian english, except when I slip. Not much slang though, I reckon.
