however, that might be
The Vampire who does it!...
There are 'Creepy Things' happening, and
HSR deserves what he gets,
but all of that undue hardship
may just come
'Tumbling' Down' on Him!
Just look what happened
during
"Just How Much Is Your...Smile Worth...
Anyway?"...and
before that in
"Dr. Dentura!...A Zombie Wants You
To "Fix" His Teeth For A Halloween Rave!",
HSR, IN THE
MIDST OF HIS EDUCATION,
IS FINDING HIMSELF
FALLING SHORT ON HIS
SCHOOL BILL PAYMENTS TO
USC DENTAL
SCHOOL,
SO,
HE NEEDS MONEY!...
...FAST!...
AND,
AS IF BY LUCK,
HE HEARS
ABOUT A CONTEST FOR
A MILLION
BUCKS TO ANYONE
WHO CAN
MAKE IT THROUGH
"THE SCARIEST FOREST IN THE WORLD!"
AND
THIS CONTEST
IS PUT ON BY
THIS
PERSON(?)...
"HE IS ONE SCARY DUDE," EVERYONE SAYS!
NO ONE
HAS YET
TO EMERGE
INTACT AND ALIVE
AND OF SANE MIND
TO WIN THE MONEY
IN PREVIOUS CONTESTS...
BUT,
HSR IS REALLY HARD UP
AND
SEES NO OTHER WAY
TO COMPLETE
HIS DENTAL SCHOOLING...SO...
HE TELLS HIMSELF,
"IF I MAKE IT THROUGH,
AND WIN THE MONEY,
I AIN'T GONNA
THROW IT AWAY
DOWN
THE DRAIN!...
I'MA PAY
FOR MY SCHOOLING!"
SO,
THE CONTEST IS
HELD IN,
OF ALL PLACES...
THE BEAUTIFUL
AND HISTORIC,
AND,
STILL WELL-FORESTED,
AND STILL
IN MANY PLACES...
...MYSTERIOUS!...
WHERE PEOPLE DON'T GO...
...THE ONE AND ONLY,
...TRANSYLVANIA!
"I HEAR THAT THIS
DRACULA DUDE
LIVES THERE
AND THAT
HE HAS
"SMOOTH WAYS"
AND HAS A BIG
FAN CLUB!" THINKS HSR, "BUT,
I'VE GOT TO STAY
COMPLETE THIS MISSION,
AND WIN THAT MONEY!"
SO,
AFTER
FLYING THERE,
AND GETTING REGISTERED
TO START,
THE RACE SPONSOR COMES
OVER TO HSR
AND SAYS,
"HSR...I'VE
HEARD ABOUT YOU!...
...YOU AND
EIGHT OTHER PEOPLE
WILL TRY AND CROSS THE
'CROOKED FOREST'...
AMONG OTHER AREAS,
OVER THE DAYS...AND...NIGHTS!...
AND THERE 'S A FULL
AND RARE MOON AROUND NOW!...
...ALTHOUGH THERE
ARE NEFARIOUS
CLOUDS THAT
WILL TRY AND
INTERVENE!
NOW,
YOU ALL WILL
START ON THE WEST SIDE
OF THE LARGE
"FORBIDDEN FOREST"
AND TRAVEL
DUE EAST TO THE
OTHER SIDE!"
AND THE SPONSOR CONTINUES,
"THERE WILL BE
DANGEROUS SITUATIONS
THAT YOU WILL
COME ACROSS!
AND,
IT'S OKAY TO
HIDE IN SOME
OF THE HOUSES THAT YOU WILL
SEE IF
YOU DARE!...
AND I WARN YOU!...MOVING THROUGH
IN THE DAYLIGHT
WILL GIVE YOU
NO
ADVANTAGE OVER NIGHT TRAVEL...
BUT...YOU'LL SEE
FOR YOURSELVES!"...
NOW,
THE CONTESTANTS ARE TOLD
TO GET READY
TO START:
"ON YOUR MARKS...
GET SET...
GO!"...COMMANDS THE SPONSOR!...
AND WITH THAT
ALL OF THEM SPRINT FORWARD
AND THEY ALL FIRST
SEE SOME SLOW-MOVING
ZOMBIES, AND THEY ALL
QUICKLY
RUN AROUND THEM!
NOW, THE NINE SPLIT UP,
AND GO THEIR
OWN WAYS EAST!
OKAY,
SO,
HSR
HEADS EAST...
ACCORDING TO HIS
TRUSTY COMPASS!
AND AS HE MOVES FAST,
HE HARDLY ENJOYS THE BEAUTY
OF THE
FORESTS!
AND HE AVOIDS A COUPLE OF OTHER
SLOW-MOVING
ZOMS!
"OH...WHAT'S THIS?...
A DEER!"
SAYS HSR...
AND,
AS HE TROTS ALONG
UP AHEAD...
"WHAT'S THAT?...A
SO HE KEEPS UP A PACE
THROUGH THE FOREST
BUT,
AFTER A WHILE...
THE SUN STARTS TO
GET
LOWER IN THE SKY!
AND IN A LITTLE WHILE,
THE DARKNESS
"OMG!" THINKS HSR
AS HE ALMOST RELIEVES HISSELF IN
HIS PANTS...BUT
IT'S ONLY
ANOTHER DEER!
"TO BE SAFE FROM
ROBBERS OR WHATEVER,"
HSR SAYS TO HIMSELF,
"I THINK THAT I'LL
STAY OFF THE ROAD!"
BUT SUDDENLY,
HE HEARS THE
LOUD SCREAMS OF
TWO PEOPLE FROM
DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS!
"UH OH!" SAYS HSR
AS HE CAREFULLY STEPS
WITH A QUICKENED CAUTION...
NOW,
THE NIGHT SOUNDS
OF THE DARK
MAKE THEMSELVES HEARD!
THEN,
HE COMES TO A DEEP GORGE!
SO HE WALKS ALONG
THE SIDE OF IT,
AND GETS TO A BRIDGE!
AND
AS
HE STARTS
TO CROSS
THE STURDY-LOOKING
BRIDGE,
HSR FINDS OUT THAT...
IT'S NOT SO STURDY
BECAUSE,
IT JUST FALLS APART!
OMG!
THERE ARE
HUNGRY ZOMBIES
WAITING
FOR HIM BELOW!...
SO,
HSR HANGS BY A ROPE,
AND IT TAKES A WHILE
BUT HE
FINALLY
EXTRICATES HIMSELF
FROM THAT
DEADLY DILEMMA,
AND MOVES ON!...
AND THE OWLS ARE
"WHO-WHO-ING UP A
BIG NOISE!
NOW, WOULDN'T
YOU KNOW IT...
IT STARTS TO
LIGHTENING AND THUNDER,
A BUNCH,
AND A
VISIBLE CELESTIAL
EXPLOSION TAKES PLACE...BEFORE
IT STARTS TO
POUR DOWN RAIN!
WOW!...SO AFTER MANY HOURS
OF WALKING AND
ALMOST
TRIPPING,
AND,
AVOIDING THESE GUYS,
...HERE COME THE
BATS!...OR MAYBE...
...VAMPIRES!
AND AFTER WALKING
FROM SCARY PLACE
TO SCARY PLACE,
HE WANTS SO BADLY
TO SIT DOWN...
...AND REST!...
AND JUST AS
HE IS ABOUT TO
SIT DOWN AGAINST A TREE...
A WOMAN CALLS OUT TO HIM,
"SIR...YOU MUST NOT REST NOW...
...COME WITH ME...
I WANT TO HELP!
PLEASE...
FOLLOW ME!
AND THEY WALK
WITHOUT TALKING,
MORE INTO THE DARK
FOREST,
AND HSR SEES A SEETHING
MONSTER WATCHING THEM...
...MAYBE GETTING
READY TO POUNCH!
UNTIL...
SHE TURNS AND TELLS HSR,
"FOLLOW ME INTO THE
"DOORWAY OF LIGHT!"
SO,
THEY BOTH WALK IN...
AND THEN
IT CLOSES
BEHIND THEM!
NOW,
AS HSR WALKS
INTO THE 'DOOR OF LIGHT,'
HE EXPERIENCES
SOME STRANGE
TRANSITIONS
THAT
TO THIS PLACE
AND A PERSON APPEARS!...
AND SHE SAYS,
"HSR!...YOU ARE IN DANGER!"...
AND HSR SAYS BACK,
"I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE I AM...
OR EVEN,
WHO YOU ARE!
I WAS IN A REAL
FOREST, BUT NOW...
EVERYTHING SEEMS...
...LIKE A FANTASY!"
"STEP BACK, HSR...NOW!" SHE COMMANDS,
AS SHE IMMEDIATELY FIRES AN ARROW
TAKING DOWN
AN ADVERSARY,
THAT HSR
DOESN'T
EVEN SEE!...
AND SHE FIRES
MORE AND MORE OF
HER MAGICAL ARROWS,
WHICH HIT THINGS THAT GIVE
'SOUL-CURDLING SHOUTS!
"WE MUST CROSS THIS FOREST
UNTIL WE COME TO THE LIGHT!
SO THEY WALK FOR WHAT
SEEMS LIKE
MILES AND MILES!...
PASSING PLACES LIKE THIS
AND THIS
ALL THE WHILE,
THE WOMAN
SHOOTS OUT ARROWS
TO NEUTRALIZE AN ENEMY
THAT HSR CAN'T SEE
BUT SHE CAN...
OMGOSH, SO, THEY
FINALLY GET THERE!...
TO THE
'AREA OF LIGHT!
NOW THE WOMAN
TURNS TO HSR AND SPEAKS,
"THE ONLY WAY TO GET TO WHERE
YOU NEED TO BE IS
TO
SIMPLY CLOSE YOUR EYES
AND FALL BACKWARD
WITH TRUST!...
AND
YOU WILL 'SHOW UP'
IN A BETTER PART
OF THE FOREST!.
AND HSR ASKS,
"WILL I BE ANY CLOSER
TO THE FINISH LINE?"
AND THE WIOMAN SAYS,
"NO, BUT DANGER
WON'T BE SO CLOSE TO YOU!...
I'M GOING TO HOLD OFF
'THESE PLOTTERS AND
SCHEMERS'
AS MUCH AS I CAN...
NOW,
CLOSE YOUR EYES AND FALL BACK...
...NOW!"
SO,
HSR, FEELING THAT
THE ENEMY IS COMING CLOSER,
CLOSES HIS EYES
AND TRUSTINGLY
FALLS BACK,
THEN HE
WHAT SEEMS LIKE NEW DIMENSIONS AND
WHEN THE COLORS
STOP, HE FINDS HIMSELF HERE!
"THIS IS
NOT TOO DIFFERENT
FROM WHERE
I JUST WAS," THINKS HSR,
WHO ALSO THINKS,
"SHOULD I GO THAT
WAY?"
THEN SUDDENLY,
AN APPARITION STARTS TO FORM IN FRONT OF HIM
AND THIS LADY SAYS,
"TRAVELER TO THE END OF THE FOREST!"
I KNOW THAT
YOU ARE THIRSTY!
...YOU ONLY
NEED TO DRINK
THE WATER BEHIND ME TO
BE ABLE TO
REACH 'THE END!'"
NOW HSR THINKS,
"I DON'T LIKE THE WAY THAT SHE SAID, 'THE END!'"
SO,
HE GLANCES BACK
HER WAY, BUT...
SHE'S NOW...GONE!
"WELL, I'M NOT THAT THIRSTY
ANYWAY," GULPS HSR!
BUT,
RIGHT THEN,
HE FEELS THAT SOMETHING
IS CLOSE TO HIM!...AND HE
QUICKLY SPINS AROUND AND
OH, NO!...
IT'S HIM!...
...DRACULA!
"GOOD NIGHT, HERE,
'FOREST CROSSER!'
SAYS
THE COUNT...AND DRACULA
STARES AND
"EITHER MEET YOUR MAKER
IN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES...OR...
COME WITH ME!"
AND HSR SAYS,
"I DON'T THINK THAT'S MUCH
OF A CHOICE!"
AND THE COUNT SAYS,
"I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
VERY HUNGRY!...
WHY
DON'T WE
COME TO MY PLACE
FOR A COUPLE
OF BITES!...HA, HA, HA!"
THEN,
DRACULA TURNS HIMSELF AND HSR
INTO BATS,
AND THEY BOTH FLY TO HIS,
ERR,
HOSPITABLE
PLACE!
AND WHEN
THEY LAND THERE,
HSR SEES
SOME STRANGE STUFF!
NOW, HE ASKS DRACULA,
"CAN I GO TO THE BATHROOM?"
AND THE COUNT SAYS,
"SURE, SIR...JUST GO DOWN
THAT HALL WAY
AND
IT'S
THE FIRST DOOR ON YOUR RIGHT!"
...
"OH BOY," ...LAMENTS HSR..."I AIN'T GOING
ALL THE WAY
TO THE DOOR IN THAT
DARKNESS!...
I'MA STOP SHORT
OF THE DOOR...
...RIGHT HERE!"...
AND HE STARTS
TO FEEL SOME RELIEF!...BUT...THEN...
HE HEARS A VERY DEEP GRUMBLING NOISES
WHICH MAKE THE CAVE WALLS
SHAKE A LITTLE...
NOW,
HE STOPS
TURNS AND
HEADS BACK OUTSIDE,
BUT,
WHEN HE GETS THERE,
DRACULA...
HAS GONE SOMEWHERE,
"OKAY...
...LET'S CHECK OUT
THE PLACE A LITTLE!", HE THINKS......
AS HE STARTS
TO WALK ON THE CASTLE GROUNDS
AND HE SEES
SOME HIGHLY UNUSUAL THINGS
SOME, OF WHICH...
SEEM TO BE...
...ALIVE!
WHOA!...
A COUPLE LOOKS NICE TOGETHER
ON
ONE SIDE OF THE GARDEN...
AND ANOTHER TWO ARE JUST
DANCING UP A
STORM!
THEN,
ALL OF A SUDDEN,
A PERSON SWOOSHES BY...
AND ASKS,
"HAVE YOU SEEN MY
FRIEND, FRANKIE, WITH THE GLASSES?"
NEXT, HE
APPROACHES
A DOOR
OF THE CASTLE,
AND,
A PERSON AT THE DOOR
LOOKS AT HSR AND SAYS,
"PLEASE COME IN AND
...YOU NEVER KNOW
WHAT'S
AROUND THE
'NEXT CORNER!'"
AND SHE
TAKES HIM
BY THE ARM
AND
WALKS INSIDE
THE CASTLE
WITH HIM,
AND,
THE FIRST DOOR
THAT THEY COME TO
ON THE SIDE,
SHE SAYS,
"PLEASE WALK
THROUGH THIS DOOR...SIR!"
"CAN'T I JUST STAY WITH YOU?,"
BEGS HSR!...
"YOU FLATTER ME!...
YOUNG MAN!...
BUT
YOU CAN PROBABLY HAVE A BETTER
CHANCE OF STAYING ALIVE...
...IF YOU DO GO IN!"...
SO A RELUCTANT HSR GRASPS THE DOOR HANDLE AND
SLOWLY TURNS THE KNOB
AND JUST BARELY CRACKS
THE DOOR OPEN...
...JUST ENOUGH TO PEEP THROUGH AND...
HE ASKS HIMSELF,
"WHAT IS GOING..."
AND JUST RIGHT THEN,
A STRONG HAND
TIGHTLY GRABS HSR'S
WRIST!...AND
IT
STARTS TO
GRADUALLY
PULL HIM
IN TO WHAT VERY WELL
COULD BE A
"Trust Only Those Who
Deserve It!"
So,
the Night starts out
like any other evening,
with the Young Doctor Mout
being fed silly-full
by his Loving Parents, who just
'Pile It On!'...
and after some
Family Conversation
and
some Dental School Homework,
He's off to an
uneventful Sleep...
or so He tries!...
And
when He finally
enters into his
'Cerebral Down Time,'
there's a vision
of some Ladies...
"Doris!...I don't know if
we can
make it
to see Doctor Mout
in this Great Dust Storm of
1653!"
"You're right, Delores!...
The Dental School
may not have even
been established yet!"
And this Lady,
who seeps into
Doctor Mout's dreams
every once in a while
says,
"Doctor Mout!...You're Wild...
...And I'm Wild...
Let's 'Play Jungle!"
"My, Doctor Pulla Mout!
I want to thank you for
the
Veneers that
You made Me!"
And there were
more
'Dimensional Dream Encounters,'
but
they were 'Fuzzy!"
But, Wait!...What's This?"
...It seems that in
No Time At All,
the Morning
comes!
Now The Young Man gets ready
and is on his
way
to School!
And, He passes by some
Joggers
Streets
and a
Roller Skater,
and a
RegularPerson
on the Boulevard!...
So,
Student-Doctor Mout
finally makes it to
USC Dental
School
and sees
a couple of
appointed
Patients, and..
before You
know it...the Day's Over!
And after Doctor Mout
stays a little while longer
at school
to complete some Lab Work,
He says to himself,
“I think that I’ll take a little nap
in My Favorite Dental Chair!”
So, he goes on over to it
and reclines the Chair back,
and settles in,
and puts a ‘Special Mint’ in his Mouth
that one of His Patients
gave him, and, of course,
He slowly sinks in to a Pleasant Rest
that has Him,
"Hi there, You!...Remember Me?...
...I'm Your
'Dream Guide'
for Tonight!...Enjoy!"
So,
The Student-Dentist
‘Moves Right Along’
in a 'Dream Movie,' with him
Exploring
New
Places!...
But...
...What's This?
...Doctor Mout is
'visualizing'
that He is
now in the Dental Genetics Lab
working on
trying to make
the Super-Strong and
Teeth-Defeating Bacterium
carious predatorus wingeulus
less harmful!...If
that's possible!...
OMGosh!...
Is He going to
'Test Out' a
new
'Contraption'
on an 'Unwilling Sufferer?"
"Yikes!...I think I'll just
pass this
'Vision' by!"
Thank You,
Doctor
Pulla Mout!...My Teeth
are
Looking and Feeling Great!
And after many
'Subliminal Thoughts After Subliminal Thoughts,'
He wakes up...
and the Whole Place is...is...Dark!...Oh No!
"What am I gonna do Now?" he asks himself, "I know that
the School has Alarms,
but I don't think that they have...
...'Vicious Dogs!'"...
"I think that I'll just see if
I can get a Snack!"
So Dr. Mout walks down a
couple of Dark Hallways, and…
...Oops!...
...He jumps at a Scary Sign on the wall!...
“It’s Halloween Night…tonight,”
he remembers,
“Aww, Man…
...I’m missing all the Fun Parties
and everything!”
But, now,
just as he goes around one corner,
he starts to hear some...Noise!...
...Like something is…sliding across a floor!...
...And it’s getting louder, like…
...it’s getting closer to him!...
...Whoa!...
So he walks faster down
a couple more
hallways and corners and stairs
but,
it seems to be still
getting closer, and…now…
there are 'Scratching Sounds' on the Walls, too!...
Not wanting to find out what it is…
He quietly goes down some
stairs in an
out-of-the-way
and rarely-used
part of the School's
'Second Basement,'
and He ducks into a Room
and shuts and locks
the Door
behind him, and
He doesn’t turn on the Lights!...
...“Whew!...I don’t know what the Heck that is, but…
...I’m glad that I’m secured in Here now," he's relieved!
But…the sliding sound…it stops…at the Door…and
a little bit of ‘Slimy Stuff’
starts to come into the room
under the door!...
...So, looking around the
at-least-100-year-old room,
Dr. Mout sees what looks like an
‘Ancient and Forgotten Dental
Chair!’
Now, he reluctantly decides to
clean it off and
sit in it,
and He wishes that
he was having Fun with His Friends,
instead of being
trapped in this Room
with a
Possible, Indescribable, Slimy, and Heavy-Breathing Monster
at the Door!
So,
after a while,
his heart rate,
and blood pressure normalize,
and he relaxes and...
...goes back to snoring again, and…
“Hi, Doctor Pulla Mout!...
...You Back for Some More?”
asks this
'Returning Mental Apparition,'
“Okay!...Here We Go Again!”
May you have many...
...“I actually sell Riding Brooms
and…
...this year,
I am introducing…
…an Electric Model!”...
...“This is a very Controversial Time of Year
on our Calendars!
During this Season,
We do a lot of Harvesting of Things
that We have Grown,
We get ready for some
Colder Weather, and…
...many times…
... the ‘Ultimate White Stuff’ falls from the Sky...
...plus, Halloween and
All Saints Day,
and other Observations are held,
depending on where You’re from!”...
...“I first met HSR when I was a Student
at United States International University
in San Diego, and
...he just started learning how to
write Love Poetry,
and he wrote me some things,
which
I showed My Mom,
and she said,
“You better not let That Sweet Man go!”...
…“This Wind is ‘Whipping Up’ really strong, now…
…and that can only mean that…
...Winter’s on Its Way!...
...smiles!
"I don't just Look Like
An Alien!...
...I...
...Am An Alien!"
"Don't Let these
'Little Wings'
Fool You!
I can Do
Everything that
'The Others' Can!
...And...
...In Some Ways...
...I'm...
...Way Better!"...
Build Yourself but...
Don't...
Meanwhile...Back At The Place Where There's A Yellow Brick Road...And...
...A Lot Of Other Things!...
Dental Hygiene Wars!
“Ten Million of Them
are
No More!...
No More!...
...And Now….
…I’m Taking a Break!”
"Hey, You!...
Look at that

(While I Quickly Bite You!)...
...Instantly!"
"Now that we are
in Our Micro PDL Exploration Capsule
We can Float

“It’s Ten O’clock

And,

...I’m…
...Going Crazy!”
“I’ve Ended The Careers of

"You ask...When was the
last Time... I got My Teeth Cleaned?...

“I must help
