the dim saw

this is the fantastical tale of two boys and one chain, their flowery shirts, and a bloody saw.
penned by the brilliantly stupid minds of two of the greatest writers of tomorrow: Toad and Butterfly.
so let us hope tomorrow never comes.

the story begins...

he woke up in a strange place, knowing nothing except... except... that his name was... dim.
he looked around, there was a person lying next to him.
his name was cheng loon.
how dim knew cheng loon's name, he had no idea since "he woke up in a strange place, knowing nothing except.. except... that his name was... dim"
it came to dim then; he knew cheng loon because
of the name tage that said "cheng loon" attached to the flowery tropical shirt cheng loon had on.
dim then realized that he too was wearing a flowery, tropical shirt and that his own nametage said "butterfly"; dim liked that.
dim then felt cold, unyielding steel on his knee and looked down.
his heart began to race as he felt panic choking him at the sight of
a long, steel chain attaching his knee to cheng loon's adjacent knee.
what was this? some kind of sick joke? he didn't know, but at that moment, cheng loon began to stir.
in a moment of panic, dim punched cheng loon out cold again.
cheng loon fell back to the ground with a thud, and dim realized there was blood on his knuckles.
dim starts to panic (as if he wasn't already) and looks for an exit from the vile recesses of this strange place.
he tries to get up, but is restricted by the chain binding him to cheng loon. he probably shouldn't have knocked cheng loon out again.
he realizes that the only way to free himself is either to revive cheng loon or to sever the chain and run.
being the idiot that he is, he tries to sever the chain first, breaking all his nails and losing three teeth in the process, failing miserably.
he then sees a saw on the ground beside him.
he wonders whether he should saw through the chain, or through cheng loon's leg.
he tries to saw the chain at first, but it proves too tough, so he has to make an important decision: to saw through cheng loon's knee, or to revive him.
he undergoes a great internal struggle; reviving cheng loon was a drag, but so was sawing through his leg. and then... brainwave!! he'll start sawing at the leg, which will revive cheng loon... eventually.
so he decides to just saw through cheng loon's leg... he closes his eyes and begins sawing.
it isn't until he feels the pain that he realizes it was probably a bad idea to close his eyes.
it's too late... before he realizes it, he has sawed through his own leg. the wrong one.
and when cheng loon woke up, all he saw was an unconscious guy with a half severed leg, chained to his knee.
so, being the sadistic person he was, he just hacked through dim's leg and freed himself.


here ends the epic tale of a boy who lost a leg and a half. the conclusion is: dim is a loser, and cheng loon is a bastard.

i sense a possible rip-off somewhere.

wheeeeeeeee!

the entire thing is probably a rip-off. tim drew inspiration from Saw, and i was thinking along the lines of Happy tree friends.

can you tell who wrote which line?

i suppose dim wouldn't write dim.
