Jungle World

Quicksand is a body of dirt and water that when unstable to support an object that stands on it begins to sink until a level of buoyancy is supported.
However there are many stories that portray quicksand as mother nature slowly swallowing a person or animal until they are completely gone.
How did quicksand become a symbol of fear and great terror that has occurred in movies, television and fictional books?
To answer that question we have to go back in time a little bit.

The first quicksand story.

In the beginning all was peaceful and quiet.
Quite dark too.
Once in a while a star exploded.
But it was only a small one.
Only a thew million miles in diameter.
Well nobody complained, which was quite odd until you realise that there was nobody around to complain.
Well after many years of this, in the galaxy of the Milky Way, around a small star called the sun, on the 3rd planet called Earth there appeared a strange creature called ……….

Dear readers. I am TBone Tony.
I am coming in to save this story from the idiots who keep on stuffing up the intro.
It was originally going to be a story about the first quicksand story but it has now tuned into a mess of an intro.
So to fix things up, the title has to change. Then we have to make up some story that dose not take the history of the world too seriously.
Then we have to make up some other stuff.

So without any further distractions I give you a new story Jungle World.
Note: This story will feature artwork from a Comic made by Rey David. The comic is from Downunder in the Jungle and I do not own the idea for the story. This is only my interpretation of the events from the comic Jungle world by Rey David.

Jungle World (T 13+)
Story interpreted by TBone Tony.

Story idea by Rey David.  

Long ago. Before life ever existed on planet Earth. There was a planet Acua 7, in the Arenity Galaxy.
Like planet Earth, Acua 7 was capable of supporting life with 95% water and 5 % earth. This balance had the power to grant life.

It’s fauna is feared by it’s fierce ones, and even not known it’s diversity that exists in a wild jungle as this. That so terrible beings hope to us?

Yet, in the deep dark jungle, in a deep dark part of the jungle. There lies a deep dark cave. A cave that is home to one of the most violent and most dominate creatures of this planet.

“Mmmm. Ah! What a lovely sleep I had in the last 5 months. The hibernation I shut myself of wonder” says the young girl with the cat like ears. She has survived the hibernation period but like all animals of this planet, it is important to start off with a good breakfast.
She raises her arms in the air to embrace the morning sun with her thin and primitive clothing (bra and panties made of animal skin) not being a bother to anybody else, Mainly because she lives and looks after by herself. She also has to hunt for herself and being in her 18th year, she has to hunt every day in order to survive long enough to one day have young of her own.

All of a sudden right in front of her, the girl sees something that looks tasty to eat.
“Mmm, Seems like a meat or fruit. But the appearance seems odd, anyway the colour dose not count. It is the flavour that is important so it must be mine to eat.”
Just as the girl uses its cat like pounce to grab the meal, the food moves away from the proditor.
The girl was surprised by the way her breakfast was trying to get away.
“Ahaa!” Where do you think you can escape from me? You arrived here but you have no room to escape.” The girl says as she sees the food dig itself under the ground.
The girl furiously grabs her meal with her bare hands her fingers dig into the skin of the food like claws. But there seems to be something trying to grab it from underground and the girl is in a fierce tug of war that she is slowly losing.
“Ghrrr…What in demons? It…ugh…is like there is somebody at the other end.”
The food is dragged down into the sand like ground and the girl struggles to pull it out, but she never lets her young hands let go of it.
“What ever it is, he is really strong, but I don’t think I could let go of it.”   
The girl gasps as she realises that her hands and arms are being sucked under the sand.
Oh no, it has sucked my arms down into the sand, and it’s… absorbing…me…inwards of the sand.”
Her eyes widen in terror as she tries to let go of the food but she could not break her arms out.

“It’s as if the creature has my arm.” The girl yells.
She tries and tries but the creature that has her arms under the sand pulls her down even faster and the suction eventually pulls her body into the sand.
“No…AAHA…MMMM!” the girl cries out before her head is pulled under.

As her legs were dangling above the surface of the sand, the girl tries to hold her breath. But the creature crushes her body from under the sand and she can’t breathe.
“No, got…to…let…it…let…go…of…me. Can’t…breathe. It’s…crushing…me…ugh.”
Just as she is about to give up and die, the girl opens her mouth and bites the closest thing to her.
Suddenly the sand creature yells in pain as it drags the helpless girl out of the sand, but it still hangs onto her with it’s tentacles.

The young girl finally takes in much needed air, opens her eyes and looks around to see tentacles of the sand creature around arms and legs.
The girl pants in air and her belly heaves in fear, her heart beats faster as she realises what the creature is doing to her.

“Oh no, The thing has the food, but all these things around me? NO, It used the sand to hide and I am deceived with one of its tentacles.”
The girl opens her mouth in terror as the head of the sand beast emerges from the sand.
It has eight black dots for it’s eyes and a large mouth opens between its tentacles like an octopus.
“How could I be deceived? No, its starting to lower itself. This dose not look good for me.”
The girl realises that she is in trouble as the head of the sand monster starts to sink into the sand. She then starts to feel the tentacles begin to lower her body into the sand. The entrapped girl tries to move as the tentacles slowly drag her down.
One of the tentacles coils itself around her bare belly and begins to squeeze her.
“AHAAAA!!” the girl screams, “I can not…breathe, it…is…tightening…its…tentacles …ugh…around me.” She gasps.

The girl looks around with wide eyes full of terror, she could see her body now sinking into the sand.
“No…it’s…trying…to…bury me alive.” cries the girl as the tentacles around her belly tighten around her, making it hard for her to gasp for air.
    
Soon all that is left of the poor girl is her head, wrists and her left knee sticking out of the sand.
“He is…too…strong…for…me. It…looks…like I…will…never…get…out.”
Tears fall from her eyes as the girl realises that she is going to die.
Another tentacle emerges from the sand and slowly moves towards her face to finish her off.

With only her head left above the surface, the tentacle begins to coil itself around her neck to choke her.
As the girl feels the tentacle slide around her neck and her head begins to slip under the sand, she widens her eyes as her life flashes before her.
But then as she blinks, the doomed girl sees the tentacle that is wrapping around her neck close to her face.
“That…tentacle…this…close…to…me. Perhaps…with…luck, I may…break…free.”
Desperately the girl uses her last bit of strength to use her secret weapon that evolution had given her.
“POISON FANG!!! AGHNNN!!! Screams the girl as she bites the tentacle of the sand monster.
Her poison from her fangs travel through the sand monster’s nervous system.
Suddenly the poison silently paralyses the sand monster and now the girl can break free.
Her eyes flutter open as the girl was very tired from her near death ordeal.
“Finally I can break free.” She panted. “If my face was buried more then I would have been history. I’m so tired from not eating, but I must not delay because that monster will break out of its paralysis in 5 minutes. If it grabs me again the I may not have another chance to escape.”
The girl lifts her arm out of the sand and quickly emerges her frail body out of the deadly sand.
She looks back at the monster that almost killed her and she saw the tentacle swollen by her lethal bite.
“Ha, one moment.” She says happily.
The girl quickly chops the tentacle off and drags it back to her cave.  
“After all, it was not so bad for me. With this tentacle, I will have some food for a long time.”
The girl with catlike ears finally got something to eat after almost becoming food herself. But this is just a normal day for her in the wild jungle world of Acua 7.

The End
