This one is designed to appeal to absolutely everyone. Simply print it and cross out anything you don't like; what's left will be a nice plop-and-sink tale customised to suit your personal taste.

I loved how you let us chose the details of the story.

I put in, as the mud reached up to her chin, she realized that she had "only two more pokemon cards to collect before she had the whole set" choice.

That bit was fun.

I had not seen this one before - good concept. A reverse Mad-Libs for quicksand.

I got a good chuckle out of this. You managed to include everything good/bad/plausible/utterly ridiculous in the basic/complex/dramatic/erotic/funny female sinking scenario.

I got a chuckle out of this as well, but more because of the circumstances that triggered its creation :)

What circumstances? I can't remember.

(Ten minutes later) Oh, hang on. Yes, someone (I've genuinely forgotten who; probably a one-post wonder) posted a truly dreadful effort which covered the whole story in about 200 words. Someone leapt to his defence saying, "At least he covered all the bases." This set me thinking, and I remembered a set of comedy greetings cards which were available at my university students' union back in the seventies, which were in that multiple-choice format. Then I wrote most of the piece in my head whilst mowing an extremely-overgrown allotment.
