AiE: An Unlikely Detective Part 1

>You are Anonymous and about now, you are in desperate need of a clue.
>You had just woken up and been completely taken by surprise at waking up in the middle of a verdant forest.
>For a moment you panicked.
>Everything looks weird, it’s all colorful and rounded.
>Not only that, you’re not alone.
>You can hear animals and bugs in the underbrush but you can’t see anything moving.
>All you can hope right now is that there aren’t any mega ticks or mosquitoes about to suck out all your blood.
>Damn, why did you think about giant mosquitoes? Those things are creepy enough being miniature, no telling what they’d do as monsters.
>You feel yourself calming down as your natural inner dialogue takes control.
 > You hear the faint sound of running water from somewhere and remember watching that one survivor guy, what was his name? Bear? Heh, some sort of name.

>You make your way through the underbrush, shivering as you go at the thought of all the ticks and mosquitoes and bugs…
> Thankfully all the ferns and weeds thin out and you can see the brook.
>Wow. Even the water looks weird.
>You feel the thirst burning in your gut, and figure it’s probably not a bad dea to drink some water.

>You kneel down next to the water on the springy moss and sniff the water.
>It smells good. Fresh.
>Actually it smells better than water usually had a right to smell.

> You figure it’s probably safe to drink, so you plunge your hands into the stream and feel its cy coldness.
>You pull your arms back out in surprise.
> Damn, that’s seriously cold. Must be mountain water or something.
>You plunge your hands back into the icy water and cup the water.
>You bring them to your lips quickly before the water has any time to escape.
>You take a drink as quickly as possible.
>The water runs down your throat as cooling as any drink ever had been, but when it reaches your stomach, everything starts to burn
>The pain is completely unbearable. It feels like it’s burning you from the inside out.
>You clutch at your throat and try to spit it out but you can’t, it’s too far gone.
>You feel like you’re suffocating but you can’t do anything about it.
>Everything begins to go dim as you feel your ungs quit working and the burning liquid spreads through your system, unchecked.
>Before you fall unconscious, you have one last clear thought.
“Damn, and I thought death by giant mosquitoes would be bad…”
