When they finally discovered that Woody Harrelson was moonlighting in a dangerous hobby, Universal Pictures was outraged. He'd just insured his, quote, "Fantasically Fabulous Physique" for Thirty Million dollars.

Suffice it to say, his premiums went up the next day.

They thought it was just a cave. It looked like a cave, for sure, but when what they thought was an underwater earthquake started, they soon discovered different.

It was an awfully final way to discover the existence of UberMegaladon.

Jimmy tried his hardest to be like the Walking Sticks he so admired, but try as he might, he just couldn't always fully blend in.

Mmm...apples!

Sally certainly didn't find it very amusing when she discovered that it wasn't an apple, but an apple colored Happy Fun Ball.

I think that Farmer Sue had better watch her fingers around Sally from now on.

Carl always was a helpful heron, and the day he saw poor Willie struggling on the shore and helped him back into the pond, while earning him derision among the other herons, made him very happy.

When the Piranha attack of '18 took the lives of every Heron except Carl, it was simply Karma paying a visit.

It was near the end of her sanity that Sara once again appeared in what she'd come to call "The Fireplace Room". While it should have been clear that she was going in circles, the insane don't always realize their folly, and so she crawled out of the frame and entered the fireplace again, desperately seeking a way out.

When her catatonic body was discovered days later, nobody could figure out why she didn't just try the door.

Toucan Sam was finally followed his nose into trouble one day when he got into a box of saran wrap that he thought was Froot Loops, and ending up with his beak completely enfoiled.

Northern Pacific Tunnel No. 3

Sawyer paused on the edge of the entrance. Every instinct he had said not to go in. He glanced over his shoulder to where the other boys stood. "What, ya chicken?" one called out. Frowning, Sawyer turned back to the darkness. Still, he hesitated, but being able to see the light on the other side was a beacon of hope. He'd heard the stories. The homeless people that had never been heard from again. The young mother that was supposedly now in the loony bin because of what happened in there. A number of other incidents supposedly tied to this otherwise normal tunnel.

"Go in! Do it! Chicken!" the boys cried. Sawyer took in a deep breath, and set himself. With one final sneer at the boys behind him he gathered his wits and stepped into the tunnel.

Nothing happened. With a grin and a relieved sigh, he started walking toward the light on the other side. He turned when about half-way in, and yelled at the boys that were now standing amazed and rapt with attention, "See?! It's perfectly fine, there's nothing...!"

Sawyer's words were cut off with a shriek, and the boys waiting outside the tunnel screamed and scrambled off in every direction. One boy, shock taking hold almost instantly, was rooted to his spot, and thus was the only one to see what happened in full, and when he was finally discovered hours later, staring blankly into space, could only mutter over and over, "it took him to the deadlands. The deadlands. The deadlands."

Sawyer was never seen again.

Well, we all know who this is.

I'd suggest cutting back on the smoothing a bit, personally. Also, coming out from the background can help cut down on the flash/strobe shadows.

What on earth did you need validation for? hehe

Sir Livingstone paused. A rustle in the bush to the left of the creek bed had startled him, but his breath returned as he saw the source moments later, a tapir coming out to drink.

His breath then left him forever a moment later as the creature he didn't hear took him from behind.

There's a moral to this story. Never trust a Tapir.
