| Leah, Aaron, Lisa, Fonz, Ben, Susie Peterson, and I were backpacking through the woods somewhere. We were discussing our plans for the day, when we saw a forest fire spreading quickly toward us. As we soon discovered that we were standing on the left bank of a stream, we decided we had better cross it so as to escape the fire. Aaron luckily had a blow-up raft in his backpack, so we took turns blowing it up [*Editor's note: all you perverts out there can take this quite literally and not symbolically, so no Freudian speculation], and then two at a time got in it, until I was the last to cross, but we all made it.
In the distance, we saw the tops of some buildings that reminded us of Disney World. After some discussion, we came to a unanimous vote that we should go there. We continued walking until it started raining really hard. We looked around us for possible shelter. Finally, I spotted an old, abandoned house just peeking above the rise of a small, grassy hill. We ran as fast as we could to the house and went inside.
The porch was rotting, but we made it to the front door without any injuries. Inside, all was a weathered gray. It was fairly clean for an abandoned house. The guys discovered a fireplace behind cobwebs. Ben thought it was a good idea to see if we could start a fire. I volunteered to go look for something to burn since the rain was subsiding. Soon, I came upon some dry sticks where the rain hadn't been, and started gathering them.
This task took me to a nice brick house in among tall trees. The house had a chain-link fence around it. Somehow, I found myself inside the fence with a big Doberman growling and running toward me. Looking around me, I found a water slide with beautiful vines hanging over it. Even though I can't swim, the slide seemed safer than the dog, so I jumped in and away I went.
Down and down, around and around, I tumbled in the slide until I saw the end of it. There stood the others, waiting for me and behind them was Disney World. They asked me what took me so long, so I explained. They said it didn't matter, but they were ready to go back to the house after their long day at Disney World.
