I stumbled upon this gem, and I couldn't help myself. It's simply beautiful.

As Jim walked onto the calm and quiet beach of an unknown land, he wondered if he was the first person to step onto Dead Island.
Every step Jim took, he became more afraid of what he would find. He heard a scrunching sound under his foot, so he lifted his foot to find the hidden, and cursed map of Dead Island.
As soon as he picked up the scrunched map, shuffling noises could be heard nearby. Jim froze like a statue, and tried to navigate where the noise was coming from, but it seemed as if the dreaded noise was coming from everywhere. Jim ran as fast as he could to escape the noise. But it was getting louder.
Suddenly pirates with black eyepatches and curved and sharp daggers jumped out of the sand and roared. It was an ambush. Jim was surrounded by pirates. Jim tried to escape, but the pirates were too fast. Then Jim came up with a brilliant plan that he hoped would work. He cupped his hands and threw sand at the pirates' eyes. The pirates roared in agony, and Jim ran past.
As Jim jumped into the forest, he heard a faint tapping noise coming from the trees. As he looked up, squirrels popped out of their homes, armed and loaded with acorns. The first squirrel threw an acorn at Jim, and it narrowly missed. Then all the thousands of squirrels in the forest were throwing acorns at Jim. Jim dodged, ducked, jumped and parried, but there were too many squirrels.
Suddenly, a bright light bulb flashed in Jim's fabulous mind. He took a bucket out of his bag and held it above him. The bucket was filling up with acorns.
A few minutes later, he escaped the forest and looked at the map. He followed the dotted route until he reached a dark cave. Inside the dark and gloomy cave, a golden treasure chest lay. As he opened the beautiful chest, he found a thousand pieces of pure gold.
As Jim returned home, he learnt something. Every cloud has a silver lining.

It's beautiful, isn't it? Here's another one, that actually is pretty interesting:

I have got a perpetual fear of dying infinite times. You might think I am crazy, but it is possible.
Just imagine. You are in the savanna. You see a wide panorama of grass. Suddenly you hear a rustling noise. You look around. A rhinoceros is charging at you. You scream just before you die...
You awaken from your dream. You are a military soldier who is fighting in World War 3. You race out with a rifle. Suddenly, 10 bullets hit you. You collapse onto the blood soaked ground...
You awaken from your dream. You are in school, and it is lunchtime. You decide to tease Jacky. "Rejected!" you say to him. Jacky's face turns red and he pounces on you. He puts his hand to your throat. He strangles you. Your eyes close, your lungs tighten. You are dying...
You awaken from your dream. You are relaxing in Hawaii in your little chair. You start to hear a humming noise. You can just discern a black shape in the distance. It is getting bigger. The noise is getting louder. Suddenly, something is released from it. It is flying towards you. You scream. The hydrogen bomb explodes. You die...
You awaken from your dream. You are sitting up in your bed. Beads of sweat are rolling down your face. You calm down and realise you are alive.
So, do you now know why I have a fear of dying infinite times? It could happen to you! Just wait until night time...

So anyway, onto more actual bloggy stuff. I'm going to ANU soon, to do a "Bachelor of Philosophy" (sort of a science degree, but with 'research' in it too!!). That's all I have to say about that.
