The Mahynohtawr

I just keep running. There's no way I'm fighting a minotaur with no weapon. I wish Barthalog would've left something to help me survive. Oh well. I'll play this one by the book. Just try your best to survive. That's what the handbook tells us. But I'm gonna have a hard time in this jam. Every corner I turn, I hear the minotaur's footsteps getting closer. As I turn one corner, I almost fall into a pit of acid bullfrogs. I have to stay focused. Otherwise, this planet will get the best of me. I stop for a rest. Everything goes quiet. The footsteps have stopped. I look around. All I see are walls and corners and crimson sky. Things are calm. Calm and suspicious. I don't like it. The air grows heavy. Hot and wet. I don't remember the humidity being this thick......and spastic.......and feeling as if there were some giant bull-like creature standing over me breathing heavily over my head. Oh Shit. The minotaur has me. I look up and lo and behold, there he is. He snarls and grunts. The force from his nostrils shift the clouds in the sky in the opposite direction. This mammoth creature truly is god-like. He looks down at me with his eyes as black as the void. He opens his mouth to speak "WHO DARES TO WANDER IN THE REALM OF THE MAHYNOHTAWR!" The mountains shake at his thunderous voice. I look up at him and reply "Uhm.....(clears throat).... It is I, Christopher DeLaPaz I.S.D." "WHO?!" He throws back to me another crack of thunder. "Chris I.S.D, oh mighty minotaur" I manage to push out of my mouth along with the brick I manage to push into my pants. "MINI-TAR?!?! I AM NOT VERY SMALL TAR, CHRIS I.S.D! I AM THE MAYHNOHTAWR!" "That's kinda gay!" I reply when I subconsciously decide I don't want to live anymore. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE, VERMIN?!?!" Yeah. I pissed him off. I figured that out by the sound of his voice. I also realized it when he started lifting his hammer over his head which I mistook for a mountain resting behind him. I'm not looking forward to this amount of pain. He swings down with a force that seems to blow all the stone labyrinth walls into dust. I look up and watch the mountain size hammerhead come down. I think about my life. I've been hunted down by men I was supposed to be hunting. I've been sent to realms, dimensions, galaxies, and wormholes that I was never supposed to come back from. I've been wrongfully imprisoned, tortured for months on end, and have had many of girlfriend with crazy dads with guns. I've faced things that would make a normal man go insane within a matter of seconds. So as this hammer is about to crush me, I lift my hand up and roar right back at the "mayhnohtawr", "I AM FUCKING CHRISTOPHER DELAPAZ I.S.D! AND I AM ABOUT TO END YOU!!!!" I think it's time to show this thing what madness looks like.

Until Next Time,
Christopher DeLaPaz I.S.D out
