Okay, here is my little attempt at a game. Pretty much, I start to tell a story, and then each person thereafter picks up and adds an event from their imagination. For example: One day I was walking down the street and I saw a dog with a pink bow and..... THEN someone else would pick up from there and possibly say: .... and it had cute little eyes and looked at me and said "hi". Im not too good at explaining things, but I think you guys get the picture.  Okay, the story starts off as: One day, Tori Amos called me and said "I am starving, what are you having for dinner ?" After I regained myself from the shock of her coming over for dinner, I..... hope we have fun with this game for a little while  |

...started to frantically clean my house in preparation for my arrival. But when I opened the closet door to get the vacuum cleaner, I instead found a colony of two feet tall dwarves! From the moment I opened the door they began to scream at an ear-splitting pitch, even after I slammed the door shut. Then they came out and started tugging at my pant leg, screaming the whole time. Finally I...

...if I had dreamt the whole phone call with Tori! Just then, I heard a gentle pitter-patter knock at my front door, like someone was using the tips of their fingers to play piano on my door.
I ran to the door, swung it open, and found Tori! In shock to see her at my house, I swooned and fell into a faint at her feet. When I woke up, I saw...

...the dwarves surrounding me, poking at me and telling me to wake up. They screamed at me to prepare dinner because they were starving. I got to my feet and found that Tori was sitting at my kitchen table, giggling at the dwarves. I tried to explain to her that I had just discovered the dwarves today, and that I didn't know where they came from, but she stopped me and said...
(hehe... I brought back the dwarves, bumblebee!)

And she said "the Faeries sent me" in a calm, even-toned, serene voice.
"Hunh?" I said, loudly to get over the dim of the screaming dwarves.
Tori stood up and cupped my face in her hands. She stuck her tongue out to the right side of her mouth, like a lizard. Don't ask me why...
"Only you can retrieve the Sacred Pedal of Axia from the Lost Tribe of Gommyjobjob," she whispered.
"Have you been smoking stuff from your garden again, Miss Amos?" I said.
She guestured with her hands to the screaming gaggle of dwarves.
"They are worshipping you, sweetie. They know what you are."
"Holdasec... how did you get in here? My door is locked!"
"Never mind that," she said quickly. "You must embark on a quest with me. The dwarves of Humpommyommy need the Sacred Pedal of Axia from the Lost Tribe of Gommyjobjob to stop the Ammaroro from destroying the Yalalalashimmibobwooteeday."
I started to slowly inch towards the table, to get my hands on something heavy, when she suddenly grabbed my wrists.
"We must depart!" she cried!
She stood up on her tippy toes and began to flap her arms, taking my arms along with her.
Inexplicably, we began to rise into the air. A shining yellow light appeared above us.
"Make haste!" she whispered, and we were gone, off to...

.... a place that I was oh-so eager to see, yet inevitably a tint of fear still lingered within me. To where was our flight destined? And what of our mission? Questions seemed to flow from my brain and float upwards into the yellow light that we were nearing. "What is it that you fear?" asked the angelique figure whose hand was still grasped to mine. With a moment's pause from me, she queried again. "Dearest, this endeavor we both must face has several paths we may follow, yet which path we find ourselves upon lies in your answer to my question.... what is it that you fear, now, in your heart, head, and soul?" I scrambled to find the answer. Did I fear love? No... Did I fear the numerous dwarves that adopted my home as their own habitat for chaos? No, not really... Finally, I realized with a gasp of my lungs, a heightening brightness of the yellow glow above us, and one more sincere concentration focused on Tori's question that my fear was....... :to be continued |

my fear was... the ocean!
Suddenly with a snap, crackle, and pop, Tori and I were in the middle of an ocean. And when I say middle, I mean the part between the sea floor and the surface. We were going to drown!
Tori looked at me, and I heard her words, even though her lips didn't move.
"Sink or swim," she said.
"You crazy @#$@, you just drowned me in an ocean!" I screamed, but it just kinda came out as air bubbles.
"You have the power to overcome this."
"I have the power to wring your neck, you #$%#$% #$%#$% #$%##!" (translation: more air bubbles)
"Anger solves nothing."
I was just about to reach her when suddenly she moved away quickly. I tried swimming after her, but I couldn't move. The water felt like molasses. 'the offering is molasses' flashed through my mind. Of course! The song "Liquid Diamonds"!
'surrender then start your engine' flashed in my head. I had to surrender to the fear, if I was ever going to win.
So I started to 'inhale' the water. And I found that I could breathe it!
'i guess i'm an underwater thing i'm liquid running there's a sea secret in me it's plain to see it is rising but i must be flowing liquid diamonds'
And I did begin to rise out of that ocean. As I neared the surface, I saw Tori floating in the sky, waiting for me.
But as we rose up into that yellow light again... one part of the song continued to haunt me:
'and if your friends don't come back to you and you know this is madness...'
