It was a long, hard day in the desert of Africa. Or, so I liked to think. I mean sure, maybe I wasn't actually there, but those man eating gazelles can be pretty hard to kill when you have a beat-up keyboard like mine. And those small, almost invisible swarms of mosquitoes can be quite hard to see with my old Gateway monitor. But nonetheless, I battle it out. My only saving grace - Audrina. She has made it all the way up to the lion position, where I am but a mere baby zebra. It's basically like being a lamb. A dumb, useless, lamb. Audrina is my partner in the game (Adventures in Virtual Africa) and my girlfriend in real life. She always makes fun of me for being below her, but today I will catch up. Just you wait. After my lunch, I signed on to my computer. After about an hour of playing, I had been demoted to a gnat. I mean a gnat for crying out loud! What was I doing! Just before I signed off to go wallow in my misery, she had to rub it in: _And so the lion fell in love with the lamb._ 2008-05-01T05:48:26Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/28939 <p>haha!!<br />i really loved how you used the line, so creative</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28939?basename=59735 2008-05-01T05:48:26Z wytherwings http://ficlets.com/authors/wytherwings <p>Hehe!

Cruel but funny: <em>the lion fell in love with the lamb</em>.</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28939?basename=59541 2008-04-30T00:44:49Z thebetweenspace http://ficlets.com/authors/thebetweenspace <p>ooh&#8230;this was cool. at first, I was like, wait, are they animals? or&#8230;what? and then I got it =] really cool&#8230;a virtual world within a virtual world!<br />LoA</p> http://ficlets.com/stories/28939?basename=59524 2008-04-29T23:53:17Z someday_93 http://ficlets.com/authors/someday_93
