I slid my body against it's trunk. My dripping hair stuck to me like thick, wet pieces of raw meat. I slouched over and gasped in exhaustion; the forces of nature nearly had me then for that rumored danger. But this time I was sheltered. And this time I was safe. There was nothing this time that would hold me away from safety.
  Still vunerably stricken, I tilted my eyes up to the height. Like pearls, the water droplets fell from my shelter's leaves and hit the ground as acid. Acid droplets. Attacking.
  Glancing at the background, I remembered with a shudder. I needed to gain height, and gain height quickly. I knew there was no other solution, no matter how hard the task of accomplishing was. Shaking, I clasped the tree. I was never used to climbing and never had been. Thunder crackled. I had to go, just as the thunder was forced, by no means of stopping, to show itself present. Slowly, I made my arms grasp themselves about a few low branches. I closed my eyes and swallowed hard.
  My feet gave me height as I willed them. I shook a few water droplets down as I grasped more of it's weak, wooden limbs that I depended upon. My feet sidled me closer and closer upwards to my goal. I began ascending more rapidly as I reminded myself of what I had left behind me: that deadly rumored danger. My arms entwined those of the tree once more and I stopped respiring for a moment once I realised I was almost finished. I gasped again and rested my forehead against the body of the tree, and locked there for a few undecided seconds.
  The branch in my dominant hand gave a crack.
  I opened my mouth to scream, but nothing erupted from me as I remembered again, and how I must not make myself obvious. My left hand scrabbled frantically of its own accord, it seemed, as all my mind was on the thing I'd left behind me - the thing I was fleeing away from. I tightened my grip on the branch above and then pushed myself up one last time. I was now safe for certain.
  In my place I shuffled uncormfortably. My clothing was drenched - my jeans the worst, sticking to me like a cold denim wrap. My jacket was already torn in the sleeves. Even my t-shirt was as worse, and I found that in one of the tears a dark, sticky liquid was being produced that I hadn't noticed. I couldn't make out the colour because the atmosphere was darker than dark, but I suspected red. I drew my fingers up to my face and touched the thick dirt on my cheek. The scent of grass flowers ran to my nostrils and I brushed them off me. I tasted blood on my toungue. I decided I didn't care about my sodden state and rested my head in a natural alclove in the tree. I was here, and I was alive. Now I had to recover. My eyes shut themselves, declaring their tiredness.
   Then, the noise.
   I bolted up faster than a rocket, my eyes wide. I was sure I'd heard something. A scuffling, not very far away. But I was safe in my tree, where it couldn't get me, no matter what it was. I had to stay thinking that.
   The noise, repeated.
   Time stopped. Nothing moved apart from my thoughts. I was safe, I was safe. I had passed everything that I had passed, I would do that as long as I continued. I would be safe for ever. The leaves that festooned me would help my intentions as long as I stayed motionless. I was so safe. It couldn't get me. It was fine from this ugly, gnarled creature I was sitting in already. It was. It was safe. Nothing could get me. I was safe.
   The noise.
  Silent, be silent. I dared not breathe. I dared not move. My eyes shut tight as my thoughts chased each other in my head. Silence was crucial. Stay away. Go away. No one is here but you. I do not exist. Leave me safe.
  The noise, again, but further off.
  It was leaving, it was leaving me. Am I in safety? I actually beat it. I actually did it. It's gone. I won't have to worry, because everything I thought was right. I was fine. No more noise. Nothing could get me, after all I had braved. I was fine, and there was no more danger. I was safe.
  "I'm safe," I sighed.
 
  And I screamed louder than a whale's song as he tore apart my throat.

Hence the dun dun duuuuun.

First off, I'd like to thank you for putting all of your effort into this, when it isn't even required. It was very thoughtful of you.

I haven't seen the site, I only wanted to when it was more or less finished. I didn't even have any idea it was freewebs. However, I've looked at it now, and I much prefer the layout on what you've done.

But - it's not like I can just agree straight off. I'll have to inform my friend, who was in charge of it. I'll need to get his opinion, which won't take long, and I'm sure, will be positive.

But I thought the topics "general discussion" and "confusion" didn't fit into help me, puzzles and games, introductions or anything else.

Dun dun duuuuun! It didn't work.

The ones in the Puzzles and Games board?

Oh, and since this is the yume thread, I had a dream (which some of you were actually in)!!

I dreamt that we were going on holiday, but I saw justlooking at the airport and even though I have no idea who she was, I just went "Oh, hello justlookingforthemoment, let's go to my house." So we did.
We went to my living room, and then all these Jewish people came into my house. Then I went "GET DOWN!" so we ducked behind the sofa to hide. The Jewish people came in the room, and then I went "MY ROOM! NOW!" so we went to my bedroom, and the weird thing was, everything in my room was gone, and so was justlooking.
Then, I remember going to the study and my mother was hiding under the desk, and there were lots of Jews there. I asked them what they wanted and they said that they wanted to look at my belongings for revenge of the holocaust, and they would kill me if I didn't let them. My things were all gone, and they got out a metal bottle opener and chased me, trying to stab me with it.
I ran out of the house and into the car. My dad was in the car and he said, "Come on, let's go!" So the car flew (yes, it flew) up and then I realised insomnia (resembling one of my friends but with purple hair) was in the car.
"What are you doing in my car?" I asked, but he didn't answer. Then my dad jerked the car up because we had to go over the roof of the school and insomnia just went! He didn't appear in the dream anymore, if you know what I mean.

And...that's it. Sorry Rod, mathsy, Zach and Ganesh, but you weren't in it!

It's just weird little squares on my computer! Does that mean that I can't view them because they're not installed?

Wow, thanks so much!! You made me laugh SO hard there, which I really needed! Thank you!

I'm not gone permanently, NO WAY would I do that! But I think the best thing to do would be to take me off unless I ask to play again. I may find some un-busy days occasionly.
