You looked at him, shocked. His face was crumpled up, as if he where angry. You stared at him for a moment, then his face expression changed. "Oh, pardon me Landy Parker, I have alittle brain fart." He said. Well.. I guess I'm Landy Parker? You stayed quiet was you both walked to salad fingers house. Before you reached his house, you stopped and said; "I-I'm going to go on a little stroll.. I'll, um, be back soon." You quickly said, looking away from him. "Alright Landy, be sure to be back before sundown so you can join me, majory and Hubert for supper." He said. You nodded, and started walking away.

It was time to relax. You've been confused for the past few days.. it stressed you out. You looked down at your bare feet as you walked in the hot sand. Then, you stepped on something hard. Hm? You reached your hand into the sand and grabbed its handle. You pulled the object out from the sound. It was a golden mirror! It had afew cracks in it, with sand in its creases, but was basically mint condition.

"Wow.." you muttered to yourself, seeing your reflection... you looked.. different. You tried pinpointing the thing different about you, but you couldn't figure it out. You repeatedly scanned your face, then remembered. Your eyes. Your eye color used to be (Y/E/C), but now they where bright red. You shook your head, then leaned the mirror against the dead tree Salad would call "Mr. Branches", then continued walking.

There wasn't much left in the world.. well, at least you think. Maybe it was like this before it happened, you cannot remember. You looked ahead of you. There was the forest. Lets go back in there... you've been in there before, but only for a few minutes. Why not explore?

You walked in. A lot of dead trees, but a lot more green plantlife then anywhere else, though it wasn't much. You quickly looked up when you heard a screech from above- a crow. It flew past you from above. You decided to follow it. You could possibly catch it. You ran under the creature as it flew. Then, It slowly landed on a dead tree stump. You quickly stopped, being as quiet as possible. It had yet seen you. You slowly tiptoed your stiff body towards the close tree stump, then it looked right at you. You froze, and it did also.

The both of you stared quietly at each other. The bird opened its beak, and looked like it was chocking. After a moment, a rusty spoon came out and hit the sand next to the stump. The bird looked back at you, then jumped off the stump, next to the spoon. You took a step backwards as you watched the bird. It picked up the spoon in its mouth, then hoped closer towards you. It dropped it inches away from you feet. Then, in the distance, the sound of a stick breaking got the birds attention. You turned towards the sound.

You wouldn't see what it was- but it was halfway behind a tree. The crow jumped and flew away, leaving the rusty spoon behind. "No- wait," You whimpered. In a blind of an eye, the crow was gone. You looked back at the creature. It slowly walked towards you. You stood your place, rather scared. Then, you saw it. A pale creature, with a humongous head full of... stitches? One big, black eye. The other small. It also wore a light blue shirt.

"Uhm.. h-hello." You said to it. It made a strange noise, but you couldn't tell if it was happy or mad. "Uhm.. may I help you..?" You questioned it. It looked down at the spoon by your feet, then walked up to it. You quickly backed away. It picked it up, then licked it. It made a loud, excited sound, like a dog. It made a sound once more. I know this taste. You heard a voice say in your head as the creature squealed. You shook your head, startled and confused. "Uhm.." you said. The creature picked up the spoon, then started running the way you came. "Hey-"
