Doll Domination

They both woke up together from the deafening sound that derived from the lush green forest. They got up and made their way to the rainforest to investigate. The sight of a stream of water immediately lit up their faces, as they went down to drink this refreshing water. It was truly a sight for sore eyes, with all the water and the fruits surrounding them. They both ate together and drank together. They felt so happy, the two of them might as well have been a community. They had completely forgotten about the sound, but they were unfortunately reminded when a ruthless dastard dashed towards them.

It was a truly terrifying beast, thick, grey hair encompassed every inch of its indestructible hide. The shade from the tall trees made it much more menacing, as half its massive body was covered by shadows. The beast looked at the sky and howled, revealing its long, sharp, barbaric teeth. The sunlight poured in, revealing its hungry eyes. Its entire body gleamed with the macabre, and the Mechanic and Goofy stopped to gape at this creature’s dangerous beauty. They were quickly interrupted when the wild animal began to run towards them. The mechanic screamed and Goofy howled. They both began to run away, but no matter how fast they ran, the beast managed to catch up. They could almost feel the beast breathing on them but somehow managed to escape its evil clutches. Yet, the Mechanic got unlucky and fell on a branch, adding to the many scratches which covered his body. He screamed as the beast tumbled above him, but when the beast stepped on him, the creature’s leg went right through him.

“Huh?” the mechanic looked dismayed as he looked around. He realised that he could slightly see through this creature, and then the entire forest around him turned into mist.
