Another Wilson Tale

Once upon a time, Wilson went to the beach. It was a beautiful beach with a resort nearby with full amenities such as a microwave, fax facilities and even a personal computer to go online - all in his resort villa.

He walked on the beach at night because he is afraid people who see him may freak out at seeing a bear walking alone on the beach. He has had experiences where he had a craving for a McDonnies ice cream cone. He went out at 5pm, ran across the busy road and almost got his fluff squashed out of him by a car, and walked up to the ice cream counter.

"May I have a cone please?"

He saw someone's head popping out and the girl's eyes started to grow as big as saucers.

She started to scream a piercing scream which scared Wilson and he ran back across the road, hearing the screams getting even louder as she saw Wilson running.

So, with that sort of experience, Wilson has learned to appear only after it's dark.

While he walked, he saw a shadow rush past him.

He froze.

What was that? It was in the middle of the night, with nobody around, and Wilson had to choose the darkest area to walk on the beach.

Another shadow rushed past him.

He took a step back.

Trying to listen past the waves on the beach, Wilson peered from side to side, his heart thumping fiercely in his cotton stuffing.

Another shadow. An another!

Wilson turned to run. He managed only five steps before he fell into a hole in the sand. He was too scared to scream and his foot was stuck in the sand.

He screamed only when he felt something tug at his foot. He tried to pull away when he heard his cloth tearing and stopped immediately. He didn't want to risk a big hole in his foot. Not while he was on a holiday.

Wilson tried to slowly lift his foot out. The THING was still grabbing his foot. But at least it wasn't pulling. So Wilson tenderly lifted his foot out of the hole.

He shook his foot a few times to try to dislodge the thing. But it seemed adamant to hold on.

Since it was too dark to see, Wilson dragged his foot with the thing and went into the light.

With the light, shining, the thing started to scramble and climbed up Wilson, who jumped up at the sight of it.
