It had all gone awry. I left the house this morning to go on my own personal adventure, to free myself from the clutches of an insane housemate, to live in the city where no-one would know my name or face. Of course, that's not what actually happened... and now, here I was, staring down a cliff-side that plunged down at least 10,000 feet. 20,000 feet. Or perhaps it was only 100 feet. I didn't know. I couldn't tell. It was a steep drop; that's all that mattered.
Joey giggled maniacally at my back - 'maniacally,' I don't think he knew any other method of giggling - and dragged me down into the giant pink inflatable wading pool that now served as a makeshift canoe.
"Are you ready, Jen-Jen?"
I clenched my fists and closed my eyes.
"No."
"I said, are you ready?"
"No," I repeated.
"Oh, good," Joey clapped my back and sniffed loudly, deliberately. "I think the pizza is ready."
I snapped my eyes open and whipped around.
"What pizza?"
"Gotchaaaa!"
His grin widened and he shoved the makeshift canoe down the cliff-side, jumping in behind me in the nick of time.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOO!" he shouted.
"FUUUUUUUUUUUUU-" I screamed.
CRASH!
We came to an abrupt landing and my face smacked into something goopy, sticky, and stinky as I tumbled out of the wading-pool-canoe.
Hullo! It's been a while since I left Joey and Jenny stranded atop Esrann Canyon with a pink pool and no-where to go. :D I wonder where they'll end up next!
