Alibi

Ally ran down a dark hallway. She needed to get Geraldine from her hotel room before they locked the doors for the night. She found her room and began frantically using her key, only to discover that it had stopped working when she checked out. A figure appeared in the hallway. Scared as Ally was, she got out her trusty sword and stabbed the door, making a small hole. She continued stabbing the door as the figure slowly walked closer. The hole was almost big enough to climb through when she saw the eldritch horror that was approaching her. The monster’s face opened to reveal a tentacle. The tentacle reached through the hole in the door and opened it from the inside. “There ya go.” Said the eldritch horror in an italian accent. “Thank you.” Ally said. She ran inside. “Wait. Where’s Gereldine?” “Oh,” the horror said. “Did you mean the stuffed tasmanian devil that was in here? I ate it. Hold on.” The Tentacle grabbed Ally and put her into the Horror’s mouth.

Ally found herself in a field. “I’m looking for a stuffed tasmanian devil!” She shouted. A voice in the sky said “quest accepted.” A mushroom grew legs and ran toward her. She stepped on it and it died. A monkey started throwing barrels at her, so she got out her trusty bow and arrow, and shot it in the belly button. A turtle walked up to her and said “You have become Mario.” It punched her and she shrank.

She kept shrinking until she found herself very tiny on the ground. A butterfly swooped down towards her. “Hop on my back!” Said the butterfly, and she did, although she fell off. “Oh well,” said the butterfly, and she kept flying. “I need a growth serum, some way to get big again.” Suddenly, she saw him. The One True God. “Hey, woah, yeah.” He said. “The Holy Grail will do that for ya. Here it is. Just walk along this road. See ya, bro.”

Ally walked and walked and walked, and she began to feel nauseous. She got to the end of the road. “There’s nothing here!” She yelled. She attempted to yell again, but she threw up before she could do that. Out of her mouth came no liquid but a shiny Holy Grail. “It was inside you all along, dude.” Said the One True God, who vanished once more. Ally drank from the grail and got big again. “Look, a mountain!” She said. She climbed up the mountain to find Gereldine, her pet stuffed tasmanian devil. “I’m stuffed.” Said Gereldine. “I should stop feeding you as much.” Ally replied. Quest complete. 

Ally found herself outside the hotel room. “Thanks.” She told the eldritch horror. “No problem. Bye, Ally.” “What’d you say?”

“Ally, bye.”
