Figured I'd write a little something tis the season of pooltoys

W-what happened? Where am I?! Why is it so colorful? The dragon feels around and is confronted with a squishy surrounding made of some rubbery material. Theres is something nostalgic about this place but how??? I got to make my way out of here says the dragon. A loudspeaker suddenly chimes in, "Hello and welcome to this exciting experience! You must be wondering why your here! Well funny thing you should probably read those silly user agreements when you purchase things online!" You've got to be kidding me, says the dragon but the loudspeaker continues, "Worry not contestant your task is simply to find your way out of this latex labyrinth! Be warned you have only a set amount of time lets say five minutes since i'm such a sporting chap." He thinks to himself, *What is this some kind of game show?!* The Loudspeaker continues, "Good luck contestant or we should be calling you employee 008 hah only kidding you got this sport!* He thinks to himself, *What in blazes did that mean? I better get my way out here fast this is some twisted place no doubt* with great speed He walks on the squishy floor wandering around from place to place. Walking in this place is difficult he stumbles not be used to such terrain. The colors twist and turn making a sort of disorienting effect on the poor dragon. This is stupid I have can barely maneuver on this why is it so hard to walk on? I know let me just fly out of here! As he starts to jump the floor seems to stick to him. WHAT is this?!? Exclaims the dragon. His flight is stopped short seeing very little of the maze. The loudspeaker turns on again, "I had a feeling you were going to not play fair so let us get this ball rolling then, shall we?" A song starts to play over the speakers... The dragon think to himself, *He didn't say anything about flying but what could he have meant?* TRANSFORMATION STARTS HERE His wings brush up against the walls but with an added effect. His wings start to get coated in some familiar material. Wait what is this and why do I know what this is??? Eventually the wings are full encased in rubber making them functionally useless. My wings!!! You'll pay for this!! Without the use of his wings the dragon frantically searches looking for a way out but to no avail. Wait I know these walls are weak i'll just push them down with my strength! He charges the walls pushing throw several before getting winded and having to rest on the ground. The loudspeaker chimes in again." Tssk tssk you sure are making this worse than you have to huh very well no skin off my back so to speak or scales in this case hehe." Suddenly a familiar sensation overcomes him yet again. What now! He roars. The rubber starts to coat the dragons claws and feet slowly.. What not again! The dragon shouts. He gets up on his feet slowly walking on the rubber floor feeling a distinct squeaking sound as he walks now. The Loudspeaker proclaims, "one minute left and your mine!" This cant be maybe I should have listened why did I have to cheat... The rubber makes its way up to his legs and arms. The dragon is feeling noticeably lighter and strangely happier? Maybe I should stop and rest its so comfy here on this floor he thinks to himself.. W-wait what no I've got to get out here no matter what it takes this place its lights, colors and music are messing with my mind.. The rubber starts to spread to his belly forming a nozzle.. This causes the dragon to panic briefly and struggle knowing time is short. If I dont get out of here soon I fear it may be the end of well something he thinks... The Dragon now covered almost completely in rubber stumbles in the maze and finally sees the way out in the distance! At last freedom it thinks but wait I feel like such a burden has been lifted wh-y? So light, weightless and h-happy? Maybe staying wouldn't be so bad.. With only a few steps left the Dragon stops moving compelled not to continue any further. It turns its head back with a big smile admiring the new place it may call home. The end?!?
