Sinktember Challenge: Mary


Mary usually tries to avoid quicksand, but she is not one to back away from a physical challenge. She is quite a sporty one. This girl has muscles in places I did not know the human body was supposed to have any. But will that do her any good in this challenge?

Mary in the Little Pit of Doom

She entered the pit with large steps. The quicksand’s plopping noises hinted at the strong suction with which it was trying to hold onto those strong legs, but could not. At least until Mary sank to her crotch. From there on her legs’ movements just seemed to make her sink quicker without any further progress towards her goal. She had made it past the center, but was also getting deeper at a rapid pace. She leaned forward to try and reach solid ground, but fell short. The quicksand was already climbing up towards her chest when she attempted to pull herself forward with her hands. She only succeeded in making herself muddier and mired deeper. When the quicksand touch her shoulders Mary eventually gave up.
