Use the comments below to post your reply, and have fun with it!
"It was Billy's idea to shoot the squirrel!"
ReplyDeleteAs Mark, Allen and Billy arguing with each other, a black hole appears and pulls all of them into the world of squirrel.
ReplyDeleteWhen Mark, Allen, and Billy arrived in the world of squirrel, they were taken to the squirrel's king for their odd looking appearance.
ReplyDeleteThe great and powerful ruler of the squirrels King Albatron was fascinated with the appearances of the strange-looking threesome Mark, Allen, and Billy. So, he ordered his most loyal mad and scruffy scientist Dr. McSkirmish to experiment on them, starting with the hairs on their heads, in order to find out what they are and what use that they can be to him.
ReplyDelete"Run?" Mark asked, backing away from those crazy squirrels.
ReplyDelete"Think again Mark, there's no way we're running away from these pesky little squirrels", said Billy as he pulled a pen out of his pocket.
ReplyDeleteAs Allen could no longer contain his fear of being devoured by these squirrels he said, "What the hell good is that gonna do us?"
"You'll see" Billy replied. As he clicked the pen, it turned into a giant plasma gun. The label read, " Squirrel Blaster 3.0".
Billy shot all the man-eating squirrels and sent them to the nether worlds of Tartarus. Billy then says, " see no problemo bruuuh." And the 2 walk off into dark event horizon of the blackhole portal.
ReplyDeleteBut the two left behind Mark, whose only option then was to run.
ReplyDeleteHe ran straight into the portal leading to Tartaus.
ReplyDeleteOnce he got through, all the squirrels Billy sent to Tartarus turned to see Mark down there with them.
ReplyDeleteMark couldn't believe the sheer number of squirrels souls that were before him.
ReplyDelete"How could Billy have taken so many lives in such a small amount of time?" Mark thought to himself. Their piercing eyes made Mark very uneasy, but he approached them nonetheless.
Mark tried to save the squirrels, but they didn't want to leave. They were fond of their new home in Tartarus, and wanted Mark to stay with them.
ReplyDeleteAs an act of rebellion for the horrible crime which Billy had committed against the squirrels, Mark decided to lead the squirrels in a new age. Never again, would another creature be slain by the humans. Never again would the squirrels experiment on unsuspecting guests. His new nation would be known as Squirreleon.
ReplyDeleteAs time went one, this once new nation evolved. Billy had passed on, leaving 3 sons in his place as half squirrel half human princes.
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, in an alternate universe, a lonely college student works to get the participation points for a class.
