Mushrooms?

You look at the leafy things and the semi-rotted fruit and push them away, deciding to try the mushrooms. There arn’t alot, but enough for everyone to have a bit.

They taste fine and you talk as you eat. None of you are experts at mushrooms, so you don’t realize they are poisoness. After half hour you feel exhasted. Immediatly after your tounge feels like it is on fire.

“Ah!” You scream and look around to find Zoe and Joe panting. “Mmm, mounge eh on ire!”

Slowly the burning creeps into your throat as well. Your eyes are watering from the heat now, and it’s hard to see. You lay down on the ground as the burning slowly subsides. You are now so tired you can’t stand up.

As you lay there, you feel the heat from the sun baking you. Hours of suffering later, you die of dehydration.
THE END
