    FINAL INTROSPECTION
    i journeyed deep into my darkest jungle
    slowly i cut a path through the thick foliage
    chopping and hacking my way
    into unchartered territory
    suddenly from out of nowhere
    appeared a large beast
    the most hideous creature i had ever seen
    horned and tailed
    eyes glowing like fire
    growling and gnashing it's teeth
    terrified i stopped dead in my tracks
    i knew i must destroy this beast
    or surely be devoured
    quickly i pulled my weapon
    and drew down on the creature
    as we stood motionless our eyes met
    then laughing i lowered my weapon
    for i realized the beast was only my reflection
    i then
    raised the gun to my head

    I WAS REALLY ENJOYING THE STORY BUT I WAS READY FOR A FUNNY LINE LIKE "AND IT WAS MY BROTHER" OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. HOWEVER, I SEE WHERE THIS WAS GOING ALSO. IT TURNED OUT TO BE SCAREY AFTER ALL.
