Chapter 18 - Stranger Things

"what unusually tall trees" , igris said touching one of the many tall green plants around him

"whats even more supering is how their bodies are green and not brown , ehh, that's of no concern to me rn , I've got to find food " igris said as me continued to move forward .

Finally he got to a part that seemed to have been cleared out , no plants were around the area , just what seemed to be giant boulders , there was no way around them , so igris decided to climb over.

He held the boulder , pulled himself up and used his leg for support, he continued trying to scale the boulder, until he reached the top , he could finally see the surrounding areas clearly, he looked around, absorbing the breath taking view , suddenly a broad smile filled his face , as he looked at the whole new beautiful world , the vast unknowns waiting to be explored , with so much confidence, Igris screamed and jumped with joy , saying

"I will survive !!!!"

The echo of his voice filled everywhere

**Crack**

Crack sounds could be heard from the rock beneath him ,

"what was that sound "

igris asked himself as he faced down, looking to see whe The sound came from , he shifted his leg from the original spot ,and the crack intensified, igris was gripped with fear and couldn't move a muscle for fear of falling down and getting crushed by boulders the height of two horses , jumping was not an option because of how high he climbed, he was sure he would break a lot of bones , or even worse die a second time

**Crackkkk*

The cracking sound intensified, Igris was soaked in his own sweat, while he was still deliberating on how to escape his current circumstances, a drop of sweat dropped from his face and on the rock , Igris heat started beating faster and he thought he was dead for sure suddenly the cracking sound stopped as Igris was about to breath a sigh or relief, where he stood caved in and he fell.

Contrary to his original thought of fall to the hard ground and get his bones broken or get crush by falling rocks, he fell into a slippery wet gelatinous substance , that had the smell of meat , he felt as if he had jumped into water , after struggling for sometime, he tried to swim , but the substance he was in was very dense , and so the more he struggled the more he sank in .

"This is it , I'm dying again " igris thought to himself and he gave up struggling

"Just when I thought things were getting better , it suddenly got way worse, why am I being punished like this ? why has the world decided to abandon me ? I am not even being given a quick death, I am being giving the slowest most painful kind of death , drowning "

His eyes began closing slowly .

On the outside, the crack on the body of the rock was increasing slowly when igris was struggling to swim , suddenly the little part holding the entire structure of the rock finally gave up .

*Grasps*

Igris took a deep breath in and suddenly started coughing , his whole body was covered in a thick brown slimy substance . After clearing his throat, igris just layed on the ground, facing the sky , at this point he was so over come with emotions, his mind was everywhere all at ones .

"haaa" Igris let out a sigh of relief

"hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahaha hahahahaha, " Igris became laughing suddenly

"survived death twice ….maybe I am actually immortal or just lucky " he said to himself

After sometime of self reflection, the boy finally stood up to access the situation , at this point the slime has already dried up on his body , but he had not noticed that , he started going around the weird rock that broke , and after close inspection, Igris realized something terrifying.

"It's an egg??"

"No….wait ….they are all eggs "

Aafter coming to this conclusion he wasn't given time to process his thoughts at all, the tress began shaking violently as some big figure was moving through them ,

"Something is coming" Igris said
