Den mest välgjorda spännande saga som jag känner till är Orfeus i underjorden. - Här är min version av den...


A story in the story

Yes, it was not an understatement to describe Princess' feelings as very upset when she was laying on her TV-coach, knocked by a flu, listening on her friend (soon X-friend according to Princess' muttering) Jack telling a fairytale instead of nursing her.

If it had been a good fairytale about love or handsome hunks she wouldn't mind to listen at all but a fairytale there Jack finds a cave he decides to explore for then being caught by some strange creatures was just to much. When he then began to talk about her as a third person in this tragic nightmare she was more or less ready to start crying.

"The cave then ended out in a long corridor. A bit confused Princess continued her walk into the corridor. Its walls where beautiful decorated with different paintings and torches hanging on the wall. Yes, also a red soft carpet was laid on the floor that created a feeling of walking on air. Shortly after Princess had became curious on who it was that had lightened all the 7987 torches she had passed a door appeared in front of her and this door was locked. Angry as a little bee that had discovered someonelse in its lemon tree Princess knocked on the door with her fists. At first nothing happened but then the door slowly got opened.

It was a man with the head and tail of a mouse or a mouse with the body of a man who opened the door. He looked very surprised on Princess and was going to close the door again when Princess, fast as the earlier mentioned bee screamed "Stop" in the mouse language as she then remembered she not knew. She then screamed "Stop" in English, Danish, Chinese, French, Arabic, Swedish, Russian, Japanese and Indian language but the creature just stared at her like she was a crazy fool. Then the creature talked in her own native language.

Now it was Princess' turn to stare at the fellow in front of her. How could a creature in the most dangerous unknown world speak her language fluently?
Well, over a big festival dinner later on, Princess was told that the sand people, who lived in the country under the cave she now had entered, were able to read minds and that was why the gate keeper she had met earlier able to speak with her in her own language.

When they then told that Princess not was the first human in their country, it did not take long before she understood that her friend Jack also where there. After Princess had convinced them that Jack had nothing to do with other people passing the cave and that she and Jack did not care even if these creatures ate people for supper, they allowed Lasse to join Princess back to the surface. The only obstacle was that if Jack once turned his head back towards the creatures before Princess and him had passed the gatekeeper they should eat him for dinner too. (Roasted with red pasta and black beans would be very yummy the creatures thought.)

Although Princess said it was silly and stupid to have cruel rules like that the creatures said it was that or directly on the dinner table for Jack and if she wanted she was very welcome to join them for another dinner.

When Princess was thinking about how disgusting it was to imagine someone eating a person, she started to wonder what her dinner had consisted of. The creatures said it had been a banana dinner but…. Princess dropped the thought and accepted the deal she had got.

Jack ran to Princess and kissed her hands and hugged her so hard he could when he saw her. It was so wonderful to be saved by his lovely friend. He had no fear of the deal and promised to go two steps behind Princess up to the surface.

Their walk began well and Jack only looked at his friend. The creatures tried to steal his attention by screams, laughter, musical sounds but Jack just looked at his friend's neck that was walking exactly two steps in front of him.

Several of the leading creatures had already began to cry because it seemed that Jack would handle the test and would survive his visit in their world.
When Princess saw the gatekeeper's door, she told Jack to be extra careful and what ever he did he should not look at else than her. Jack confirmed he would do so…

It was just as the gatekeeper had a break when Princess and Jack passed the door and when Princess was outside the door and Jack should take the absolute last step to his freedom he felt a wonderful smell of hamburger food.

The sand he had swallowed earlier on the way down to these monster creatures had made his throat feel like dusty wall paper and it would be so heavenly to drink just a little zip of ice cold coke to clean his body with… He turned his head to the gatekeeper to ask for a zip? The door to the creatures world slammed behind Princess' back and she could hear the creatures scream of happiness."

What an idiot Jack is when he is destroying one of the finest plays ever like this thought Princess as she threw out him from her home.
