Yeah I know you're expecting my account on what happened in the snapalope hunt, but it turns out it won't be held until the 20th, so be patient. There's good news though, I registered so I will be participating. What happened yesterday morning is that few days after registering, the deli owner ask me to run an errand. I didn't know why he want me to run an errand, I don't even know him personally, I wonder why?
"You have been buying newspaper from my place everyday did you?"
"Um...yea..."
"I think I can trust you on this, what you're supposed to do is to deliver this package to New York City Department of Parks and Recreation"
"Alright"
"Good"
So I took the package and head on home first because I figure I would need to bring a my pistol along for protection. Soon I head off to the NYCDPR which is at Forest Park, but I figured maybe I should take a quick shortcut instead.
"I'll take a quick shortcut, what's the worst that can happen?"
I went and took a detour by cutting across the woods, after few minutes I got lost.
"I just had to take a shortcut, that's a wonderful idea..."
After wandering for few hours, I took a rest. As I was sitting on a giant rock, I heard a strange noise, it's a honking sound from above. I look up and it's a pair of Canada geese flying by, canadian geese (Yes the geese in America, stop asking)? I decide to follow them since there's a chance they can lead me out of the woods when I heard another strange noise. But I decided that it's just a wind blowing although it's awfully noisy for a wind.
Then suddenly there's a explosion right in front of me, in where the geese used to be are burning chunks of meat and feathers raining from the sky. There's a figure in front of me holding an RPG, it can't be...Pol Pot?
"Wait a minute, you're Pol Pot!"
"So you've heard of me"
"But you're dead!"
"That's what we want you to think, since my fall me and my loyal followers have staged my death so one day I can take over again by force"
"Why are you in the United States then?"
"Some bastard kid in this city found out about my plan, his alias is 'lawlmaster', he reported it to the authorities in Cambodia, although they didn't believe him but I knew it'll be trouble if an outsider knew. It's unfortunate that we meet, I'll have to kill you before anyone else knows" as takes out his pistol and was ready to aim at me
I ran out of the way and place the package behind a tree to keep it safe. Soon I took out my pistol before proceeding to go after that despot who murdered countless lives during his reign of terror.
"This is for the people who wears glasses!" as I shot him in the back
He then turns around but before he can fire I shot him in the stomach
"This one's for the doctors!"
Then I shot him in the leg
"This one's for the rest of the people as well!"
The ex-despot falls, I thought it was over...then suddenly...
"You think it's over? N-not yet..." as Pol Pot opens his jacket to reveal a bomb strapped to his chest
"G-good bye..." as he press the button on the bomb
I have to leap out of the way as the bomb explodes
"Madness...this is madness..." as I shook my head
I walk to the tree and picked up the package before heading to the direction the geese where at before they got obliterated by RPG. I kept walking for another hour or at least it felt as such until I found a neighborhood, I'm out of the forest. From there I know there the department is located and finally delivered the package.
"What took you so long, I had a call 6 hours ago about the pack--, what the hell just happened? You look like hell!"
I looked over my Knicks jacket and it's covered with dirt, burnt pieces of Pol Pot, and some wood chips.
"To make a long story short, I decide to take a shortcut in the woods and got lost"
This will be the last time I took a shortcut.
