An Odd Adventure: The Stairs

“So whatchoo people doing, huh?” Setryuk asked the other two girls.

Isiwaru raised her hand.

Dusplooma threw a pretzel at Isiwaru, who was on the other side of the room. As Setryuk watched the pretzel sail overhead, a grain of salt fell into her eye.

Setryuk screamed loudly, holding her right hand over her eye, as Isiwaru looked at the pretzel, sniffed it, and ate it.

“HEEEEEEELP!! MY EYE!!” Setryuk yelled as she ran in circles around the room, still holding her hand over her eye. Isiwaru continued to raise her hand.

“DO YOU NEED SOME ASSISTANCE?” Dusplooma asked as Setryuk ran by.

Isiwaru began whistling, with her hand still in the air.

Setryuk stopped running and stared at Dusplooma, finally taking her hand off of her eye. “No. I’m fine. REALLY,” she said, twitching at the memories of Dusplooma’s “assistance” in prior situations.

Dusplooma ran off and came back with a pot of boiling water. “Are you SURE?” she asked.

“I…am positive,” Setryuk said.

Isiwaru started tapping her foot loudly, waving her hand that was still in midair.

“Yes, Isiwaru?” Dusplooma asked, dropping the pot.

“YES. I already answered the question,” Isiwaru said, referring to Setryuk’s question from moments before, a question that Dusplooma had already asked before the timeframe the author is writing in.

Setryuk twitched some more, her eye watering.

“Miiiiss?” Isiwaru asked. “MISS?”

“YES?” said Setryuk.

“May I be excused to the WATER FOUNTAIN OF DOOM?”

“Yes, you may.”

“THANK YOU, MISS!”

With that, Isiwaru skipped delightedly to the fountain and Setryuk’s eye started to sizzle.

“AHHHHH!!” Setryuk screamed, running around the room blindly. She continued screaming and running until she ran over Dusplooma.

“AAHHH!!” Dusplooma screamed, grabbing a fire extinguisher on the floor nearby and spraying it at Setryuk.

“AHHHHHHH!!” Setryuk screamed as she tripped over Dusplooma’s head and was extinguished.

Dusplooma then dragged Setryuk to the top of the staircase and kicked her down. Setryuk screamed as she fell, hitting every step until she was at the bottom, knocked unconscious and bleeding profusely.

“Weeee!” Dusplooma said in delight as she watched Setryuk fall and hit the bottom of the staircase. She then jumped after Setryuk.

“AAAAHHH!!” Dusplooma screamed as she fell. “NOT WEEEE!!”

Isiwaru returned from the fountain and stood at the top of the stairs, watching amusedly. She soon noticed that Setryuk was unconscious and dying from blood loss.

“Oh no!” Isiwaru said. She floated gracefully down the stairs and began doing CPR on Setryuk.

After a few moments, the CPR was successful and Setryuk regained consciousness.

“….Where’s Dusplooma?” Isiwaru asked.

“AHHHHH!!” Setryuk screamed. “It HURTS!!” After a moment, the wave of pain grew bearable.

“Yes, where is Dusplooma?” Setryuk asked in an evil voice. “I would really like to know.”

Isiwaru laughed at her friend’s vengefulness. She and Setryuk turned to find Dusplooma was lying in the middle of the staircase. Setryuk dragged herself up the stairs, leaving a trail of blood behind.

“Uh oh…” said Dusplooma, watching Setryuk. She attempted to get up, but failed.

“AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” Setryuk threw herself at Dusplooma with a scream of vengeance.

Isiwaru stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching amusedly as Setryuk missed Dusplooma and hit the stairs above her with a painful thud. “…Owww…” she groaned.

Dusplooma rolled down the rest of the stairs, making an “u-u-u-u-u” sound all the way down.

“You should write a story about this,” Isiwaru told Setryuk.

Setryuk lifted her bleeding head and turned it to one side in thought. “Yes, yes I should.”
