I found this in my Google drive while I was searching through it out of boredom. I originally wrote this little segment back in 2022, intending for it to be apart of a bigger fanfic for Slendytubbies. I know that it was supposed to be about Dipsy, and basically it was an AU where Dipsy survived by being immune to the infection or something. I never got around to writing anymore, and the only thing I really have is the beginning of a story plan, another short segment of the story and the story description. I'm sad I never got around to working more on it, because the idea is actually quite nice, and Dipsy rarely gets the spotlight in the Slendytubbies fandom. I hope I can get around to it someday, but for now I'm too occupied.
Anywho, this segment is near identical to how it was written in 2022, I just changed a few wordings that sounded odd to me, so now it's ready to be witnessed by people.
The first thing he registered upon gaining consciousness was the feeling of his brain being squished and molded, and then set ablaze. The fire spread down across his face, all the way down to his neck. Oh god, his neck was the worst. It felt like there was a ring of fire woven tightly into his skin, stealing his breath, ripping him from his body. Did he even have a body? He doubted it, because he couldn't feel any of it. This fire refuses to spread past his neck, attacking the most vital part of him instead, smothering his very self to ash.Β
The place he was in was pitch black; not even a small ray of light, a blink, a twinkle, anything to bring him hope of being freed from this horrid pain. Was he dead? Or was this some inhumane form of torture? Was this a horrific hell? His mouth released a small whimper that left his vocal chords to sizzle in a cry for help. He could feel molten lava pooling in his eyes, or mayhaps they were just tears; tears that were formed with the embers of a burning inferno. He reached over to rub the stinging away, which confirmed he at least had two arms and hands that seemed to work fine. This made the burning worse, but also helped him feel the wrinkled skin that was in place of where his eyes should be.
Oh, his eyes were shut, trying to block away the fiery hell. He peeked them open slowly, blinking rapidly to adjust his eyes to the natural light around him. The lava that had been brewing underneath the cover of his eyelids started leaking and dripping down his cheeks, making it sting like a million blood-sucking fire leeches were on his face instead. He quickly reached out with the back of his hand to wipe them away, but pulled away just as quickly when the skin on his cheeks felt as if it was pulling and peeling even when his touch was feather light. His breath was laboured and quick, his lungs panicking with the burning sensation that reared from his head. Hey, at least he knew he had lungs, which probably meant he had a torso too. And the rest of his body.Β
He tried assessing where he was located, but couldn't see much, other than a grey ceiling, from where he stood. The best solution seemed to be to sit up and look at the entirety of his surroundings. However, the burning upon his head raged on, and even the mere thought of sitting up made the pain intensify by two thousand. So, he stayed down. He would have to wait until the fire mellowed itself out before he could even think of lifting his head up.Β
