"Am I the only one here?" I ask looking around.

"Oh, the other guests are running late but please make yourself at home." Jill says.

Jack hands me a slice of cake.

"Oh, gracias." I say.

It looks slimy. I poke it with my hand.

"Forgive us, Mother Nature, our reserves have... plummeted to say the least." Jack says.

There's this stench in the air. It's foul like ash. I remember when the earth was young a terrible flaming demon ruled. It burned and scorched the land. Turning everything to blackness. I remember that day and it still sends shivers up my spine. This smell... there's something ancient about it and evil. Maybe it's just the food.

"So... I have to ask, why invite me?" I ask.

"You're the Goddess of all Creation." Jill smiles.

Her teeth were in a questionable shape. They were jagged and a little pointy. I draw back. This is kind of unsettling more so than I thought. I grip my hands. Something is wrong. I feel it. Or maybe I'm just thinking like Lobbo.

"We have a gift for you." Jack smiles.

"Really?" My eyes light up.

Jill hands me a present. It was wrapped in pink. I take it. It burns my hands instantly. I jump. It slams into the ground. I wince. I almost scream. I look at my hands and I see blood dripping. I have never bled in over three thousand years.

"What? What's going on?!" I yell.

"You've fallen into our trap Mother Nature!" Jill pulls a string.
