A Short Story about Primal Astrology, It's fun and educational too!
So...It started two weeks ago,I was on Writing.com but I was suffering a serious case of Writer's Block! I had no idea what should be my next greatest story! Perhaps and Astronaut lands on a Planet of Intelligent Rocks...Maybe a Wicked Witch, turns into a Rock and slumbers for a thousand years...Darn it...Why do I have rocks on the brain all of a sudden?

"Anony!" I hear my Mom downstairs "Are you going to come down to eat?"

"Yeah...About my name,My Folks actually named me Anonymous and my last name is Contributor...You can only imagine the taunts and jabs the Kids at school came up with.

Then I see an add for something called 'Primal Astrology' I click on it and it takes me to this website

One thing you you should know about me...I keep getting 'Astrology' and 'Astronomy' confused I thought I was going to learn something about the primordial history of the universe instead I found something about horoscopes, which I never read...I have no idea what my sign is.

Still, looking at the Primal Zodiac Front Page, I did want to see what my 'Primal Sign' was so I searched for my Birthday, on the 'Find Your Primal Zodiac Sign' Page after clicking on my birth year I found out I am apparently a Praying Mantis which is what you get when you combine the Western Sign of Aries with Eastern Sign of the Snake

Feeling less then impressed, I yawned and stretched and turned to go downstairs.

Then I heard a voice behind me..."Come back here!"

I jumped and saw my computer had a pixilated face

"You come...Back..." Said the Computer and the Computer Moniter then formed a vortex which I was sucked into,
When I came to, my eyesight was strange, I felt four legs underneath me, my hands felt strange and that's when I realized I WAS A PRAYING MANTIS!

I tried to move and I found myself and I bumped into into cage bars...I was in a cage! I at first thought I was going to scream but then I heard someone saying "I will prove my ability to talk to Animals!"

The Cloth covering my cage was lifted, and with my Compound Vision I saw the Giant Face of a Man trying to talk to me
