Drowned Marshmallow Man
Chapter 1. The salty breeze of the ocean caressed the marshmallow man's face as he bobbed along the surface of the glistening sea. He had never seen a sight so beautiful and peaceful, yet it was a lonely feeling being so small compared to the vastness of the ocean.
His body was soft and spongy, with no arms or legs to propel him forward. He could only drift with the waves, his destination unknown.
He had been warned about the dangers of venturing into these waters, but his curiosity and naivety had won out. Now he found himself in a perilous situation, far away from any land or help.
Suddenly, he felt something strange beneath him—a warm wetness that seemed to be engulfing him slowly. It filled his mouth and nostrils until eventually he was completely submerged in it—a thick hot chocolate sea that threatened to swallow him up like a sweet morsel of candy.
He thrashed against its sugary depths, desperate for air and freedom, but each movement only caused him to sink further down into its depths until eventually he was overwhelmed by its sweetness and drifted off into unconsciousness. When his eyes fluttered open again, he found himself in a strange place—a world full of marshmallows like himself who were all gathered around a large burbling pot of what appeared to be hot chocolate!
The marshmallow people were singing and dancing around the pot, their voices bright and cheerful despite their dire circumstances. The marshmallow man quickly realized that this was no ordinary hot chocolate sea—it was a place where lost marshmallows could find refuge from the dangers of open water!
Soaked in sweet syrup but still alive, the marshmallow man smiled gratefully at his new friends as they offered him a cupful of their delicious hot chocolate. He drank greedily until every last drop was gone before finally allowing himself to drift off into a peaceful sleep surrounded by those who understood what it meant to be lost at sea—and saved by an unexpected source: friendship.
