****(POV)

*Blob blob blob*

*Swish Swish. *

Drip Drop. 

Splash Splash. 

"MUHAHAHAHA!" 

These are the sounds of home. 

It is dark, comfy, wonderful too. One can just stay here and get plenty of food! Here I am happy. Very happy. But lately, I think I am becoming different. I am not the only one, but I am the first. 

I remember that even recently I couldn't think that well. I was sleeping most of the time. I have learned a lot from her. The two-legged slime. She is an unfortunate one. Unlike us, she isn't round and beautiful. 

She cannot touch us either. I'm not sure why, but she can't. She runs away whenever a curious little one goes near her. I made sure they wouldn't disturb her. 

This is something weird too. She is a 'she'. Apparently, there is something called 'humans' out there. They are not slimes like us. 

They do not bounce, they smell different. They create light when moving around. They talk so much! At first, I was confused. She called herself a human. But I finally figured it out! She is half-human half-slime! That is why she loves us!

She is an unfortunate one for sure. Still, instead of crying, apparently humans do that when something bad happens, she is smiling while teaching us. Well, teaching me. The others cannot understand much. 

Well, they did understand that fun game. It is called hide and seek. Whenever we see humans, we need to jump in the water and be very still! At first, we had trouble. Many couldn't do it. Most of them are no more. 

Humans are evil. All of them except her! Ah, evil means killing slimes! 

Ah, she is great. She even feeds us something called potatoes. Potatoes are little balls that are delicious! Potatoes are the best!

I thought I would keep living like this, but no. Lately, something changed. I do not know why, or when exactly. Recently I have started to remember old memories. It seems I have begun having something called 'dreams'. 

Before, whenever I slept, I would simply be immobile and nothing would happen. This is how slimes sleep. But now I see scenes of my past. I have started remembering. At first, I was wondering if I was 'sick', but then I understood. 

She too was having dreams. She eventually said something that made me understand it all. In my dreams, I was seeing a man, but also not a man. I cannot explain it well. This man turned out to be our creator. 

The one that gave us life. Actually, before we existed for sure, but we were only small purposeless blobs. Incapable of thinking, incapable of anything complex either. We would just lie in the water and eat, nothing else. 

Sometimes I almost miss these simple times, but also not really. Now, I know there is an exciting world out there. One full of delicious food. One ruled by the humans. 

The world we live in is called 'the sewers'. It is great, almost always devoid of humans, especially tranquil. But I started to feel strange lately. I am not happy anymore just staying here. Actually, no. I am still very happy, but I could be happier. 

Ah, 'happy' is how you feel when you eat good food. Now I have a goal. It took me time to decide upon it, but I want to meet the creator. I know he is out there somewhere. 

I want to know why he made me, us. I want to know why he gave us a mind. I want to bounce right in front of him and hear it directly from him! 

I know this is an extraordinary goal. I do not know about the world of men. It could even be very dangerous. I do not want to die before I accomplish it. 

Apparently, death is scary and painful. I am not exactly sure about that. Death simply means going from moving to unmoving after all. But it is true that one cannot do anything while dead. Besides feeding the others that is. 

This is why I have made a plan. Me going alone outside and trying my best to…except they followed me. All of them. 

I tried to communicate with them, to tell them to remain here. Strangely they who can barely think got especially excited over meeting the creator. They don't even remember meeting him for the most part. 

Still, they know it. Should they reach him, he would give them amazing food, right?! There is nothing the creator cannot do. Well, he even fed us 'humans' at some point. The creator is all-powerful! 

He managed to defeat such a powerful and evil race as easily as killing chickens! Ah, I have never seen a chicken but apparently, they are very weak, the weakest lifeform in the world of man. 

I was ready to stake it all. We were ready to do it! We would come out quickly and bounce away as fast as possible! We came out quickly and as soon as we were out we….got overwhelmed!

So much noise! 

So much light! What is that big flaming ball above?! 

So many humans! Way more humans than we have ever seen in our entire lives! 

So many tasty things laying all around! 

So many new things! No, some we know. For instance these long white thin strips we know these, 'noodles'! From time to time we get some in the sewers. Apparently, these are food but undigested. Digestion is something humans do to food. It turns it from amazing to good. 

At first, I was outraged! Why would they do such a thing?! Well, turns out we slimes do it too. That is all we do. Some of us started bouncing everywhere.

Then they got killed. I instantly called them back! We were supposed to bounce away, but where?! The world of man is so confusing! In the sewers it is easy, you just follow the water! No matter what you won't ever get lost! 

Now here, there are so many unknown things! So many things that we have never seen down there! 

Then they started really attacking us. I cannot die just yet! I want to meet the creator before anything else and…. wait…I'm fine?! 

For some reason, these humans don't seem as strong as the ones in the sewer and…. Ah! No, it is I that have become stronger. When was the last time I had fought them?! It was when I was tiny and weak. 

Of course, this would be easier now! I know exactly what to do. She has done it many times. MUAHAHAHAHAHA…. but I cannot produce that kind of sound at all. So I will settle for...

*Aggressive bounce! * 

Follow me all! This is the start of our journey! Ah…as soon as I figure out where to go…

That is when a weird slime comes closer…
