A Rude Awakening The HIDEOUS plans had been laid out, the time set and all the EVIL plotters were ready to carry out their vile machinations. Poor little HASUN lay SQUISHED in a little ball sleeping innocently at the Hanging Gardens oblivious to the nefarious scheme about to take place. The nearby HUMGII let rip a foul cloud of noxious gas, lost in the miasma that is Hasun's STUPENDOUS odour. However this subtle passing of wind was precisely the cue that the aforementioned loathsome plotters had been waiting for. WHAM A SEA-CUCUMBER came spiralling in from the south to strike Hasun squarely on the back of the head. This was possibly a somewhat LUDICROUS element to the plan, but the master plotter had insisted upon it vehemently. As the poor, abused sea-cucumber began to SLITHER away asleep. Sinister figures sprung from the shadows and quickly bound Hasun's wrists and ankles tightly together. A large catapult was hastily constructed as a hammer and chisel began labouring away, first at the grime around the locks on his boots, then the locks themselves. As the boots were removed Hasun began to come to and started to struggle in vain against his bonds. "You're not going to SQUIRREL your way out of a bath this time." The cowled figure that appeared to be in charge laughed manically as Hasun writhed on the ground, fear sinking into his features. The catapult was now complete. Trussed and helpless Hasun was lowered into the basket and the switch was thrown. Flying through the air, Hasun realised which direction the catapult was aimed in and began thrashing about wildly, panic evident in his eyes. SPLASH Bars of soap came hurtling in from the east and scrubbers descended from the trees with twisted grins of sadistic glee upon their faces. The task was set to of scrubbing Hasun from head to toe. The screams of agony resounded through the forest. Guttural screams of pain and torture, reminiscent of a bear caught in a trap and tormented by poachers disturbed animals throughout the Ithmias. Finally, the deed done, a luckless Hasun, dripping and defeated was hung from the branches of a nearby tree and left to dry. His eyes were hollow and his spirit crushed as he was cut down and stood back on his feet. The only audible sound was the demented cackle of the vile siren that had planned this monstrous inhumanity.
