The Chronicles Of A Good Life

I struggled to get my head above water. My arms flapping and legs kicking trying to reach the surface, but the current was to strong. It pulled me deeper under it's speed and force. The icy cold water was replacing the precious in air my lungs and I could felt the energy leaving my body. I started feeling around to find something anything to grab hold of, my arm caught on something and I stopped moving. Fighting the current I got a firm hold on the object it felt like a  piece of wood or a log.

I held on for my life which I was losing along with the bits of air I had left. The log came lose from it's spot and rose breaking the water's surface, I came up with it draining the water from my lungs before taking a big breath. I coughed air any remain water, and rested my head on the log.

For the moment the worst is over, but I'm cold, wet, in a river, and can't see. I could do nothing but hold on and go where ever this river takes me. My head was still buzzing and hazy. I'm tired.I know I couldn't sleep, but the water started to feel warm, and I was so very tired. I can feel me eyes slow close as I fought to keep them open. And the lethargy won, darkness consumed my vision.

GGRROOOAARR!!

The roar jolted me out of my sleep. I sat up and found my front side cover sand. Apparently I washed up on shore in my sleep, my bottom half was still in the water.  I looked around then noticed that I had my vision back, and from what I seeing I think that the must have carried me to brazil because from of me was a rainforest.

I crawled further up the bank, and turned onto my back. By looking at the sky I deduced that was the afternoon, twilight was showering down on everything. I tried to collect myself taking deep breathes. My headache is gone my mind is still a little fuzzy.  After a moment I got up and look back at the forest.

"How the hell did I get here," I looked closer at the forest. "I don't anywhere near a rainforest so why am I looking at one?"

I started toward the forest. I only took a few step before I realized I could feel the sand between my toes. Looking down I see that I'm only not wearing shoes, or pants, or anything.

"Oh what in frozen hell," I looked back at the river bank hoping to see some clothes on the ground. There was nothing but sand and the log that carried me here.

" Well know I think I know why those people panicked they probably thought I was a doped up pervert,"

I sighed and again headed for the forest. I don't much about survival, but I think if I go threw the forest I may find civilization. As I walked through the canopy I heard sounds coming from everywhere. It not the hearing them, but the my hearing them from far away much farther than I should be able to.

I've been walking for an hour or so when a strong painful shock came from my lower back. I fell to my knees as the sensation shot up my spine. It felt like someone just tased my tailbone. I moved my hand to rub the pain out my back, when it got there I feel something. It feels furry. I turn my head to see what it was.

"Okay...t-this..this is new,"

Sticking out of my lower is a long fur covered tail. The fur it's covered in was blonde like the rest of my hair. And it was moving like it had a mind of it's own, moving to and fro slowly wagging in the air. It was long I'm five foot six, it was about six feet just by looking at it. I touched it and felt it my hand through the new appendage. I'm guessing that shock was my nervous system connecting with it.

"I don't know if I should freak out or try to do the kamehameha wave,"

I really wanted to freak out, but nows not the time. Find people first freak out about tail other. I stood and took a step forward only to fall on my face. I tried again but got the same result.

"Ow what the hell," I looked back at my when hit the tail.

It was effecting my balance.That just terrific. I got up again this time took a few careful steps forward and didn't fall.

Okay baby steps until I get use to the new tail. I treaded through the wild forest again this time a little slow. It was getting dark and harder to see. I needed to rest too.

I looked around for someplace to sleep for the night.  I saw a low tree branch it was low enough to climb on. Even though I haven't seen any dangerous creatures staying is still a good option. I walked over and climbing the tree stopping at a wide branch with big droop at it's base. This'll make a nice place to kick it. I climbed onto the branch and sat in the big dent resting my head on the trunk. I hope I can get to some village or some thing tomorrow.

Sunlight was shining in my face. Darkness replaced with red orange warmth as the light went through my lids. I opened my eyes slowly glaring at the sun before the light became much and dropped my head down. I was never a morning person. I  stood up and stretched my arms. Remembering I was in a tree I looked around from my high position. A few feet away I spotted pond, and notice I was hell thirsty. I guess nearly drowning makes you parched.

I got down the tree and head in the pond's direction. It was a about a fifteen minute walk when I got there I dunk my whole head in the water drinking mouthfuls. I had my fill I noticed some berries growing by the water, they looked like blue cherries. I picked a few a examined them, I smelled them and they smelt good I think that's a good sign I popped one in my mouth.

It was heavenly it tasted like a fruit pastry. I quickly devoured the ones I picked and went to get more. I sat next to the bush the berries grew and ate. As I gouged myself I caught my reflection which made stop mid put another berry in my mouth. I went and kneeled at the waters edge looking at me image and what grabbed my attention my eyes. They were red.

They looked like rubies. But, my eyes are suppose to be green not ruby red. I opened my mouth to say something however upon seeing my teeth I froze. My fangs they longer than they should be. I touched them to see if they were really like that. They were real. I back away from the water running my hands through my blonde hair.

"The hell is this...my eyes...my teeth...a damn tail!" I promised myself yesterday that I would wig out, but I don't think I can keep that promise.

"WHERE AM I!!" I screamed pulled my hair.

I'm running through the forest now, I need the find some help for this. I could be mutating or something. I ran as fast as I can tripping often due to my tail effecting my balance. In my panicked run I was scratched here and there tearing about the forest.

As I ran my balance got better and I was running a fairly long distance longer than I ever could before coming here. I ran and ran not even caring where I'm going. Ahead of me was a break in the trees I run through it, then come to a stop.

Before was what looked like a swamp. It was a Marsh pit surrounded by dead trees and weeping willows. Bubbles were coming up from the water. This place was sick-looking.

GRrOoAaRrR

A weak roar came form my left. I turned my head and my heart sunk into my chest. I dove behind a dead tree. Over there was a large three headed monster lizard. I poke head out to look at it. It was laying on the waters edge like a beached whale. Green slime was coming out of its mouths and its eyes looked sickly and crusted in mucus.

By the way it looked it seem ready to kill over. I was about to turn and leave when I heard some coming. I turned back to something coming out of the foliage. It look like a horse, but it was a pale yellow and had the pink mane. What's a horse doing here?

I looked hard at it and noticed that it had a basket in it's mouth. I rose a brow at that, but continued to watch the horse approach the sick monster. Is it stupid that thing could swallow it whole. Then the horse did something I didn't at all expect.

" Okay mister hydra a friend of mine said that this potion should help you get better," The horse pulled out a bottle form the basket.

I jaw fucking unhinged. Did that horse just talk, and did she I'm guessing it's a she by her voice say that that thing is a hydra. As the Greek monster that grows more heads as cut them off hydra. The fuck.

The horse uncorks the bottle and poured it on a slab of meat she got form the basket and held it out to the hydra with her hoof. the middle head saw the meat and strikes at the horse. I turn my head I couldn't watch.

" There should help you feel better,"

I opened my eyes and turned back to the creatures. The pale yellow horse was okay. I look at the hydra the middle head was chewing then swallowed meat. It laid it's head back down along side the others. The horse was leaving. I was about to leaving this weird scene to.

GGRROOOAAARRRRR!

The hydra roared. All three heads rose up and roared in pain to the sky. The horse turn quickly in time to see one of the head come at her. She jumped out of the way and ran for it. So did I like hell I'm still around a angry mythological monster.

I was seven feet away when I heard a scream. I stopped and looked in the direction I just came from. I could help her, I want to help her, but what can I done against that behemoth.

I hear crashes, roars and more screaming. What the fuck do I do!? I'll get killed for sure! But, I have to help. Why it's just stupid talk horse who shouldn't have been mess with hydras in the first place. But, her talking means she's a sentient being. I stood still at that revelation.

More screams

"Damn it to hell,"

I ran to the source of the noise.
