BS felt his frustration mounting. But, he also felt more at ease, how many more mistakes could there be? And even if there were, what could be worse than what he had already seen so far? HE dicided he was ready for anything as he made his way to the next tunnel.
Peering through the floor, this room looked.....different. Tomatoe launchers, the walls done in camoflauge, and several nude posters hanging on the walls. but none of this registered as he took in the figure sitting in the middle of the room.
A man was sitting, eyes ablaze with a crazed light, hunched over some evidently important work on the table before him. Looking closer, BS realized that little plastic army men lined the table, and the figure was seemingly hard at work drawing on them.....no....wait.....the man was not drawing, he was using an eraser! Looking at the army men that were already complete, the mans intentions became apparent.....he was erasing the pants off of the army men. Plastic pantsless marines....Oh the humanity.
As he finished the last one, the man....Gruntboy it would seem, nearly jumped out of his seat as the door crashed open and in walked a marine.....pantsless to BS's distress. Evedently enraged at the disturbance, Grunt dived behind a bunker constructed and started fire his toy machine gun, the type with the little lights that flashed. This one had been modified so that it actually fired kidney beans, thus pelting the man while Grunt laughed maniacally. grabbing a grenade from his belt, Grunt pulled the pin and threw the grenade at the man, diving under the cover of his barricade....only it wasn't the grenade but the pin he had thrown. A loud explosion rocked the room, BS was startled to find Grunt relatively unscathed as he came out of his bunker. Sure, his eyes were rolling in little circles in their sockets, his face was covered in smoke, and here and there bits of his hair were on fire, but overall, not much difference in his appearance at all.
BS decided tha perhaps he had stayed long enough when he heard Grunt utter something about the man having earned a "sack beating. Not sure he wanted to find out what a sack beating was......the man WAS pantsless after all, BS strarted to lower himeself back into the tunnel. But not before he heard the man scream as Grunt spoke.
"c'mon boy, let's you just squeal like a pig"
Dropping in the tunnel, BS started to walk away, only to hear more words.
"You got a pretty mouth boy"
BS shuddered, and considered his map. He wasn't sure how he could be reading this thing so wrong. He had to be close, and yet he kept missing. He wondered for a moment, hoping for some Deliverence, but that only brought Grunts word back to him.....
Taking the map and stuffing it back into his pocket, he wandered down the next tunnel.
