Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

Stampede!

For several seconds, you and Fred stare at each other in petrified silence, not even daring to breathe. Nothing unusual happens, however, so you eventually relax and let out a sigh of relief.

"Whew!" you exclaim, wiping the perspiration from your forehead. "For a second there ..."

Suddenly the ground begins to shake beneath your feet, and you hear the sounds of loud trumpeting and squealing rapidly drawing near. With a terrific crash, a herd of wild elephants bursts through the door and proceeds to stamp everything in the room (including you and Fred) flatter than a pancake.

After the panicked pachyderms depart, you lie quietly on the floor for a few moments. Then, slowly and painfully, you bend your arm until your thumb is firmly planted in your mouth. Inhaling deeply, you blow down forcefully on your thumb, ballooning your cheeks. A split second later, your entire body "pops" back to its normal volume.
