The beast. Yes, it was victorious against Shy Away in the end. Will power, want, and the voices of others cheering you on make people like Mario win. But face it, Mario could win anyways. Shy Away lay in a crumpled heap. You’ve read enough stories to know that the good guy always wins at that little “climactic” moment, and it’s not interesting anymore. Well, here you go. It’s interesting.
Shy Away tried to get up, but he was sore everywhere. He wanted one last look at the fourth wall. Why? Why was life so cruel? Was life truly controlled by greater beings who merely make your existence for entertainment? He heard a faint sound.
“ooooooo!”
What was this sound?
“OOOOO!”
What?!
“ooooooo”
Shy Away didn’t understand.
“BOOOO! YOU STINK!”
The fourth wall shattered, and a brick flew into Shy Away. More came in a constant stream.
“Don’t give up! That’s really kind of lame! People won’t read my story if you die, so get back up!”
More bricks. Ow.
“Aww, crud, I’m outta bricks!”
Whooohoo! Now Shy Away could rest in peace!
“I’ll throw the only other thing in my inventory!”
Noooooo!
However, this was no brick. It was a Life Shroom. Shy Away popped back up like one of those scary little rubber things that jump up. He had one more try. He rushed forward toward the Chaos Heart, when the hammer came. He tossed his watering can, and…
============================================================================
Shy Away woke up in a nice bed. Ah. He’d dreamt it all. How boring. He tried to get up, but felt weak. A nurse came over, and gasped.
“Everyone! He’s awake!”
Every good guy Shy Away met on his journey came to Shy Away’s bedside. He looked around. “Did I win?”
“It was kind of a tie, but Dimentio and the Chaos Heart went down for good, and you didn’t. So yeah, you won.”
Shy Away smiled. “Do I smell a sequel?”
Everyone made disgusted faces and walked out of the room immediately. Shy Away frowned, and looked at the window. There was a glorious sunset, but Shy Away had just woken up. Probably some author trying to symbolize the end. Decent enough. Shy Away felt his eyelids heavy again, and fell into a deep sleep. A very big sleep.
