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…”
