No where is this more true then in Louisiana's Wookiegetlucky Swamp. Why? For it is a Nexus of gateways to other dimensions. Deep with in the swamp, there is a small band of people: 3 men, 2 women, a hamster & an Accordion. They were brought here by some fantastic means & are searching for something. Something hidden. Most things hidden are hidden for a reason."

> > "Will you shut up?" Ronnie yelled out.
> >
> > "Why? You don't like my Rod Serling impression. I think it's pretty good." Catherine shot back with a smile.
> >
> > "No. No I don't." Ronnie then said & walk ahead of the group.
> >
> > Leaving Chad, Catherine & Jane to walk together with Ronnie in front of them. Mr. Spooky way out in front.
> >
> > The journey had returned to the silence it had been for the most part of it. As they walked the group was taking in the scenery. Well, Everyone but Mr. Spooky. He appeared to be lost in his own head, just walking & mumbling to himself.
> >
> > As they walked no one had really noticed that the spit of land they were walking on had started to change. Up from the ground came a humanoid shaped creature. It stood hunchbacked & about seven to eight feet tall. It's body appeared to be made of vegetation of the Swamp it's self. It didn't appear to have a face for the vegetation obscured that but glowing red eyes could be seen.
> >
> > It then started to move & slowly shamble up to the group. The first person to notice they were there was Chad but before he could warn anyone a vine & moss covered arm reached out from the center mass & Chad tossed aside into the murky water. Next came Jane who was also tossed aside, so was Catherine.The women being tossed into opposite sides of the strip of land. Next came Ronnie, he was closest to saying something to Mr. Spooky, but he was tossed aside like all the rest.
> >
> > The creature made it's slow & steady journey towards Mr. Spooky. It reached out it's appendage made of plant life towards the well dressed man.
> >
> > "Stop." He said & the creature did.
> >
> > Mr. Spooky turned around & continued talking with some distain in his voice. "You will not touch me with that thing that is passing for your arm. I don't know where it's been or what type of diseases live in a place like this."
> >
> > The creature just stood there with it's arm out stretched. Mr. Spooky's emerald eyes glared back at the crimson emotionless eyes of the creature before him.
> >
> > "I'm here for the item & neither you nor anything other creature will stop me from obtaining it." He said poking the creature with his umbrella. "Now, bugger off."
> >
> > The Creature devolved back into the ground, leaving sign that it was ever there.
> >
> > Mr. Spooky began to look around. Then set down his Umbrella, took off his suit jacket & rolled up his sleeves.
> >

> > It's was a nice summer's day as Chad stood up from the ground. He had landed on grass, nicely trimmed grass. He picked up his accordion & looked around. He was on a hill somewhere, the side he was on was surrounded by trees. The Hillside was cover in stone markers. He was in a Cemetery. He began to look around at who was laid to rest there. There wasn't anyone he knew there.
> >
> > After a few hours of walking around he came upon a wall, it was the largest item he had come upon so far. He walked along the wall, reading over the names. His mouth dropped when he got to the S's: There it was written in stone. He was dead, or least his counterpart on this world. Jane was listed under the T's, Catherine was under the G's. Ronnie was there under the B's, he still had one of the longest names he had seen. Chad walked over to the beginning of the wall. The inscription of why the wall was erected was that these were all the name of all that had died during the second Parody War. Chad looked down the wall & it stretched for miles.

> > Jane found herself in a lobby of some building. In the distance, there was some noise. She walked towards it. It was behind a door, she opened it & walked in. She was at a pep rally from something. The room was filled with people. Jane looked around & shortly found out what it was for. It's was a pep rally for Ronnie, on this world He was running for President. Jane shook her head is disbelief.
> >
> > Just then a man dressed in a dark red business suit took the stage, His brown hair was neatly trimmed & was slightly balding on top. He wore glasses that were slightly to big for his head. He had a few wrinkles. They more visible when smiled. He walked up to the podium & began to speak. As he did, Jane's gaze went to the who was standing to his right. It was her, an older version of her but it was definitely her. Standing in front of that other Jane were two small children.
> >
> > "Now in November I'm sure I can beat my opponent, Mr. Dominic Clancy what with all your support, the love of my lovely wife, Jane & our two kids: Chad & Katie." The older Ronnie said & then gave a big smile.
> >
> > The crowd went wild.
> >
> > ---------------
> >
> > Catherine picked herself up off the dirty carpeting she had landed on. As she dusted herself off, She recognized this place: it was her apartment building. She wasn't sure if it was her floor or not. But the place definitely had seen better days. She looked out through the broken glass of a nearby window to her right & Parodipolis looked like the Apocalypse had come to this world.
> >
> > "Maybe they lost the Parody War?" She thought.
> >
> > As She walked around, she wondered if anyone was still alive. Something was up & around when she saw something move past her field of vision down the hallway. Catherine chased after it. After a few minutes, Catherine could hear what ever it was in an Apartment, it was making the most horrible noise like it was eating something savagely. Catherine built up the courage & peeked around the wall to see what it was. When she saw it, she pulled her head back & started to run off back down the hallway. She didn't much like what she saw, there is what at one time was a living room was Ronnie, he was having a meal. What was on today's menu: Jane's brains.
> >
> > "Oh Crap." Catherine thought. "I got sent to Zombie World & I might be the only fresh meat around."
> >
> > ---------------
> >
> > It was night where Ronnie ended up. He picked himself up off the cobble stone street. He began to look around, the place look familiar some how. He had never been there before but in the back of his mind it was registering something. Ronnie jumped out of the street as he was narrowly run over by a horse drawn Carriage. He was the promptly called a blighter by the driver as they drove off.
> >
> > "Where the heck am I?" Ronnie said to no one but himself.
