//------------------------------// // Pony Park - Part 8 // Story: Robot Pony // by Dreadnought //------------------------------// Nedry raced along the muddy road through the dark and the rain. He looked out for a turnoff before looking straight ahead - to a sharp bend in the road. Desperately he slammed the brakes and turned the wheel, but he skidded through the barrier and into a ravine. He climbed out into the rain, and spotted the sign for the East Dock. Hurriedly, he grabbed the line for the winch and raced to lash it around a nearby tree. Nedry heard a sound behind him and turned around, only to see a shadowy figure bounce back into the trees. "You got time, you can do this Dennis," he muttered, trying to motivate himself. A pony bounced around in the brush. Nedry made his way back towards the Jeep when he heard something behind him. He turned to see a pink pony standing there, looking at him expectedly. "What do you want? I got nothing. Here," he said, grabbing a stick. "You want to play fetch? Go fetch the stick," he said, throwing the stick into the woods. The pony still looked at him expectedly. "No wonder you're cancelled." Nedry stumbled back towards the Jeep. He turned to look back at the pony that had followed him. Suddenly, her mane expanded. "Smile!" she said, as she shot streams of silly string at him. Dennis screamed as the silly string burned his eyes. He raced towards the Jeep and banged his head on its frame, knocking him unconscious. TV STATIC
