The Dogtooth family

You wanna be a what now?!" Maria shouted in confusion.

We managed to get into the sky whale and we're now stuck in it's mouth with a giant tongue constantly trying to lick Maria.

Perverted asshole..

Ugh! For the last time! I wanna be a Mob Boss!"

Why would you wanna boss around a bunch of mops? It's not like they can listen to you. Or can they?!"

What?! No!! A Mob Boss is someone who is free from all the rules of Society! Someone so freaky strong that no one ever tells me what to do!"

Oh.. but why do you want something like that?"

It's simple my dear. I'd love to live a life where I can do whatever the fuck I want and the only way to get that is to be a Mob Boss!"

Seems pretty basic don't you think? I mean if you were the main character of some story, you'd be pretty boring."

Me?! Boring?! I'm Spike Dogtooth! I'm anything but boring! And what about you? What's your great motivation?"

Oh well uh... I just wanna explore the galaxy. I've lived my whole life on my home world and after my uh... incident, I got cast out in a this exact space whale and ended up was Farmer's planet and we'll, the rest is history."

Oh I see. But what's up with that incident ? What did you do that was so bad they cast you out? Or is it about that feral thing of yours?"

Uh...yeah I don't really like to talk about it." Maria said, looking down and holding her jacket tightly.

Say no more kiddo. You don't wanna talk so I don't wanna listen."

Upon hearing that, she ran up to me and hugged me tightly. Just when I thought she couldn't hug any tighter she did.

Hey.. if you wanna be a Mob Boss, then you'll need a gang or something right? Can I join?" She said in a somber tone.

There's that damn nostalgia again!

Hehe! Yeah sure! But don't come crying to me when you realize who your stuck with. Sorry but whether you like it or not you're stuck with Spike Dogtooth! Tou ready for that?"

All Maria did was hold me even tighter.

I don't know what got into me but I held her back. I gotta say, it was nice. I still don't know why but there was something really familiar about all this.

Awww, ain't that sweet..."

That voice...

It was that man.

The one whole dressed and talked like me. He was standing at the other end of the mouth, leaning on one of the whale's giant teeth.

Wait, was he real or...

But before I went up to jump him, he disappeared in the literal blink of an eye.

What was he doing there? Why was I thinking about him now of all times? Or was I going insane? Or rather, more insane that I already am?

Maria suddenly pushed me away but I immediately saw why. That damn whale's tongue licked her again.

After we gave that tongue a good beating, that's when we asked the important question...

Where the fuck was that damn whale going?!

We tried to look for the eyes or a window or something to help us but we found none.

What about up there?" Maria said...pointing at the blowhole above us.

"Huh.. Maria you little green skinned genius! Now all we need was to get up there." I asked as I thought about how to reach the blowhole which was several metres above us.

Then Maria had an idea.

I knew not because she told me but because of the face she made. I don't know why but even that kind of "Ah I got this!" face seemed so nostalgic.

What was wrong with me?!

Who was she reminding me of?

Before I could think any further however, I felt two hands grab me. Maria's hands. That's when I realized her idea.

She chucked me as fast as she could right at the whale's blowhole.

After taking deep breath after realizing we were in space I flew towards the target and bullseye! She managed to clog the blowhole with me.

With half my body in the whale and half the body out, I made my first look into space and I have to say...

Space is pretty rad.

I'm sure you're probably expecting some long winded explanation of space but I ain't doing that. I'm not really good with that kinda stuff.

I know, I know! I'm the narrator.

Let's just say, it's the most beautiful thing to you'll see for a while. Like a giant soup with so many beautiful colors coming together.

The stars, planters, comets... All of it. It's all so mesmerizing.

Anyway, back to the whale...

I got a good look at where our flying friend was coming from but once I tried to tell Maria, I realized something...

I was stuck.

It seems I'm exactly the right size for the blowhole. Too much in fact that I was blocking it so not only could I not slip out, I was also stopping the whale from breathing!

So now it's wings didn't work as well and now it was choking. I think you know what that means...

I couldn't tell Maria but that didn't stop the whale from crashing...

Into a planet that looks like a coconut...

Soon everything turned dark...

Then it was all white...

Was I dead? Was this the afterlife? Well it felt a lot like hell to me because I was burning.

I was swimming in some kind of white fluid or should I say drowning because I was sinking like a rock and burning up like I was on fire.

It was torture.

I tried to move, to breathe but it was all hell. I couldn't do anything but suffer and die

Then I saw something heading my way. Some kind of little pink ball.

It was coming closer. They say you shouldn't go into the light when you're on the brink of death bit the light was the last place I wanted to be right now.

As my skin began to melt from from the heat, I did my best to resist the immense pain and swim towards this mysterious pink orb.

Just...

A little...

Closer...

And...

Got it! I grabbed the little pink orb and held it tightly but nothing happened.

As the last of my outer skin melted. I realized I was doomed to die...

Could this be the end for me?

Out of nowhere however, the orb began to grow bigger and envelope me. I was finally out of the hell.

Technically at least. I was surrounded by it but thanks to the orb, I was safe from the heat. Well this orb was more of a bubble really, and that kinda scared me.

I feared the slightest movement would pop this bubble and send be back to this white liquid hell all around me.

I didn't move but the bubble did and it seemed to be moving up. When I looked up, I saw the end to some kind of tunnel. It was pitch black.

A stark contrast to this hell I was in.

The bubble flew on and eventually, I was out of that white hell.

However, once I escaped thanks to this bubble, I got all the answers I needed...

The End... FOR NOW!
