Escape the Pandas
It was sweltering hot. The sun beat down upon the red desert sand. The heat coming off of several small rocks was enough to distort the air around them. Osma Van Dickenschirnial was riding along in a convoy to the capitol of Lydia to see his uncle, who was the leader of Lydia. The convoy wasn’t moving very fast. Osma stuck his head out the window and yelled “MOVE FASTER SLAVES, OR I’LL TAKE AWAY YOU’RE PAYCHECK!!!”. Osma’s 15 slaves just looked back at him. None of them bothered to mention that they didn’t get a paycheck. That would just make him mad.
Osma started to snooze. Yelling at slaves is very exhausting, no? After a while, Osma was in a deep sleep. So deep, that he didn’t notice when the convoy went over a bump in the road, and he fell out onto his rump. About an hour later, he woke up in a strange prison cell. It was very confusing for poor Osma. Osma started wondering how he got into the cell. Could his slaves have rebelled? He didn’t remember. It was very frustrating. After a while, Osma realized what made the cell so unusual. The bars were made of bamboo. That was very confusing, so Osma didn’t think about it, because he was a person who was always in control, for better or worse ( which is a nice way for saying worse), and didn’t like being confused.
About an hour later, Osma managed to realize why having bamboo bars was confusing. They were easily broken. Osma was very large in stature, especially for a fifteen year old, and had no difficulty breaking the bamboo bars. That was when they came... the Ninja Assassin Pandas that had kidnapped him! Osma was a teenage slave driver with only one fear... Ninja Assassin Pandas, so he did the only reasonable thing... he went back into his cell and pretended that the bars were not broken. After the pandas left, Osma tried to sneak out again. Imminently, the pandas arrived and scared him into going back into his cell.
Osma tried again and again and again, but to no avail... the pandas seemed to know whenever he stepped outside of his cell. That got him thinking... how did the pandas know when he was trying to escape? He didn’t notice the little laser sensors that blocked the doorway to his cell. Suddenly, Osma got an idea. He would distract the pandas with a laser pointer while he made his escape. It didn’t work. Osma became desperate. He tried to distract them every sort of way, but they never fell for the bait.
Finally, Osma got an idea. He grabbed one of the bamboo bars and threw it down the hallway. All the pandas chased after it. Osma was free! He ran out of the prison complex (which was a tower shaped suspiciously like a bamboo pole) and ran out of the little oasis into the desert. Then Osma realized something else. He was lost.
Slowly, Osma began to backtrack. Everything looked the same. Osma heard a rustling in the bushes. He spun around in time to see a Ninja Assassin Panda charging him! He reacted without thinking.Osma got the panda in a headlock, then threw him back into the bushes. Suddenly, another panda came from the bushes behind him. Osma gave that panda the same treatment. Osma realized that he couldn’t just stand around. Eventually multiple pandas would charge at once, and he would be taken down. Osma decided to head off on the only path he could find. After about an hour, Osma had to stop sprinting and rest. He figured he had about 15 minutes before the pandas found him. Osma started running again.
Eventually, Osma hit a dead end. Literally. He was jogging around a bend in the path and ran into a brick wall. Osma realized that the brick wall must mean the end of the Oasis. The end of the Oasis meant freedom! Osma climbed the brick wall, jumped off the top, and landed in the middle of a panda patrol! Osma put up a brilliant fight, but the weight of the pandas dogpileing on him took him out. Suddenly, everyone was quiet as they heard a convoy approaching. Slowly, the convoy moved past. Osma realized that this was his convoy! He started to yell at the slaves to free him. The laves heard his voice coming from the jungle. That confused them. They checked the litter and saw that it was empty! Immediately all the slaves dropped the litter and ran to Lydia to take advantage of their new found freedom.Osma was left feeling rather defeated. He ended up trapped in the bamboo prison forever, just because he was rude to his slaves.
