Snared in an squid's tentacles.
by: Unknown
..............in a bind.
You remember finding yourself floating in the ocean. You had decided to go for a swim and gone a short distance out before feeling the rip tide. You arms ached as you tried to paddle, only to find yourself not moving. So you allowed yourself to float, waiting to find a break in the rip tide so you can swim back to shore.
That was hours ago. Now the sun was starting to go down and the shore seemed further away than you thought.
That was when you spotted it: a lighthouse. Right at the cliffs and still connected to the mainland. You started to move towards the lighthouse and were only a few yards away............when it grabbed you.
A giant squid.
You could feel the tentacles wrapping around your ankles, trying to pull you back out further into the ocean. You saw the rocks ahead of you near the cliffs. You reached out and grabbed them, holding on for dear life and gritting your teeth as the squid's tentacles tugged on your ankles. Your grip held, but you felt your torso being stretched to its limits.
And you would've held on too............if the squid didn't have any other tentacles.
As your gritted your teeth, you suddenly felt laughter surging from the bottom of your throat.
Tickly, tingling sensations shot from your bare feet as the slimy tentacles were gently tickling your feet. Unable to hold it in, you began to giggle hysterically, feeling the tentacles torment your soles and your toes. It took you back to your playground days. You remember hanging from the monkey bars and losing your sandals. Kids coming from below and tickling your toes. You remember laughing but still holding firm on the bars. Just as you held onto the rocks now. Even as the kids gripped your ankles and furiously tickled, you could hold your ground.
That was as long as they didn't move their tickling fingers anywhere..............
EHHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEEHE oh no! The squid's tentacles were moving towards it.
Your worst spot. Your biggest weakness.
You could feel your eyes bulge now as they did then.
Being only in your bathing suit made matters even worse though.
Two more slimy tentacles dragged up and down your bare torso. They slid along your tender sides and ribs, even sneaking tickles into the hollows of your bare armpits. The tingling sensations burst through your skin like lightning, sending you into hysterical almost maniacal laughter. The slimy arms were starting to move faster and faster. You could feel your arms grow weaker. You tried thinking of anything else to get your mind off it.
Unfortunately, it went back to your school days.
Stretching in class. No matter how boring it was, you did your best to avoid stretching now matter how tired you felt.
But you couldn't avoid it.
You'd always look around. Make sure no one had eyes on you.
But it never mattered. The minute your arms went into the air, two fingers would poke your sides, sending your arms crashing back down to protect them while hysterical shrieks and giggles filled the air.
It was always embarrassing.
Especially with Tabitha. Your bully. She'd always find you. In the halls, library, everywhere. Her strong fingers would constantly tickle you.
You hold on with all your might...............when suddenly................
