You look around for a stone and see one lying by the lake's edge. Scooping it up in your fist, you turn around to start the game. You throw the stone and it lands on the very last square. You hop on square one, two, plant both your feet on three and five, and hop onto six, scooping the stone up as you do. Laughing to yourself, you turn around to start again.
You look up the path and see a couple walking by. Slipping the stone into your pocket, you nonchalantly whistle as the walk past, looking into each other's eyes. When they are finally just tiny black dots on the horizon, you turn back to the game.
This time, when you throw it, it lands on square four, the one in the middle of the row of three. You jump onto one and two, and you spring into the air, ready to land on the solid blacktop of number four.
...except you don't.
Your feet hit the blacktop and the asphalt bubbles suddenly. Without warning, you feel yourself slowly sinking. Looking down in horror, you realize you seem to be sinking into the blacktop. You scream as you are slowly sucked down to your waist. Your scrabble at the asphalt, looking for something to grab, but you find nothing. Suddenly, you stop sinking. You breath a sigh of relief and put your hands beside you and try to hoist yourself up. Nothing happens. You don't move.
Trying not to panic, you try once more. You look down and see a shadow coming overhead. You gulp and slowly turn your head around. The two squares behind you have folded into the sides of a 3-D box. One is overhead you, leaving you in shadow, while one is upright behind you. Suddenly, the one in front of you and the two on your sides snap up, plunging you into total darkness. Anyone passing by would have seen just a large gray box resting on the asphalt.
You scream again. Your lower body feels weird. You look down and splash your hand down. Instead of cracking on asphalt, your hand feels wet as it plunges through some kind of thick, sticky liquid. Then it starts rising rapidly. Screaming again, you press the side of your head to the top of the box and heave your hands, trying to push the top off, but to no avail. The thick, sticky liquid rises to the top of the box and you are submerged, but surprisingly, You can still "breathe"
Suddenly, the bottom of the box elongates and pulls out of the ground, lying on it's side. The liquid starts bubbling, and the box takes on a large egg shape. If passerby were to look at the blacktop now, they would see a large black egg, twisting and rocking, looking like it was about to rip apart from the inside out.
You're floating in the liquid when it starts bubbling furiously again. You feel your body start to melt away, becoming one with the liquid. You twist and bend, feeling almost like you're being stretched and pulled. Suddenly, you start to feel solid again. Your entire body has been molded into a new shape. Your squirm around in your egg, growing larger by the second. Suddenly, it starts getting lighter inside the egg and it's clear what you have become.
