A hairy ape stared back at him from the bathroom mirror.
For a moment, he thought it was his wild side
but, after blinking a couple of times, the beastly creature in front of him started picked its nose and eating the lump of snot it found up there, seemingly enjoying its taste and texture.
It was only then, that Hypersensitivosaurus realized that the mirror was in fact a hole in the wall, a possible portal to another dimension.
He also understood that the monkey wasn't him. Or was it? Could it be a different version of him - a past or future self? A brother from another mother?
Whatever it was, it suddenly turned its back to him and walked away. Where the mirror had been, only moments before, was now a pitch black, raptor-sized hole.
Hypersensitivosaurus was confused. Part of him felt a strong urge to find out what this was all about, to venture into the unknown and move on to what was possibly the 'dark side'. Another part of him felt extremely scared though. Was this mere cowardice? Or was it in fact his intuition telling him to do anything but to go in there?
He decided to sit down for a while and meditate, to temporarily level up to SuperZENsitivosaurus. After a minute or two of conscious breathing, our favorite reptile felt a lot more at ease.
Looking at the black hole once more, a feeling of calm came over him. With only a slight touch of healthy fear remaining, he decided to take the leap.
Slowly but steadily, he made his way towards the portal. When he was so close that he could touch it, he took one deep breath and dove into the all-encompassing blackness...
TO BE CONTINUED...
!?!?!?! This was both adorable and mysterious! I loved it, favorite one yet :-D
Awesome to hear you felt like that!
P.S. Adorable and mysterious sounds like a good mix for both kids and adults.
Damn! I wouldn't wanna come across such in the bathroom especially at night.
It was actually inspired by a childhood memory, decades ago, in my grand parents' house.
That night, while walking to their living room, I thought I glimpsed an ape / gorilla in the mirror. It was quite scary.
Haha, that kind moment always makes ones heart to trip. What an experience😄
Now of course I'm waiting to see if he ends up in an interesting new place or wakes up on the floor after knocking his head/acting out dreams XD
Vamos ver.
I have no idea, as of yet, myself.
Let's see where the darkness leads us...
Um...go see?
Sure why not XD
I prefer to stay in the sunshine today.
This picture like a ghost
I think we're all an ape, deep inside and we all have a dark side.
Yes we do
Time for time travelling to the coolest place ever: within
;>)
I have, on occasion, felt exactly like the beastmonkey in the picture.
While eating your snot?
There's a hairy ape in everyone of us ^^ And it's good to ask it, how it's doing, from time to time.
I really want to know how the story goes on!
There sure is!
I'm working on the continuation, but this hairy ape has been quite distracted lately ;<)
