"OOZE AND AAAAHHs!

"
I will never forget the night it happened. It was a(n) 1. ____________ night, and I was relaxing
upstairs with my 9. ____________, a good book and my faithful 28. ____________,
35. ____________. Suddenly there was a loud 18. ____________. I jumped to my feet and crawled
downstairs, trying to be as 2. ____________ as I could. Nothing looked out of the ordinary.
Suddenly I heard the 18. ____________ again, but this time it was much more 3. ____________
and I knew it was coming from the basement. As I gathered my courage, I grabbed a flashlight and
walked 32. ____________ down the stairs. I might have met my end right there, if not for
35. ____________, who let out a loud "19. ____________!" Shocked, I jumped 33. ____________
to the side just in time to avoid a long gooey appendage. I turned my flashlight on the intruder and
gasped in horror. Hidden and waiting there in my basement, bathed in the 4. ____________ glow
of my light, was a huge, quivering, shapeless blob of ooze! The disgusting thing was as
23. ____________ as a 10. ____________ and as big as a(n) 11. ____________.
"26. ____________!" I cried.
I fled 34. ____________ upstairs, but the thing chased me with lightning speed. I was trapped,
and knew I had to fight if I wanted to survive. First I tried to cut it with a sharp 12. ____________
from the kitchen, then I shot it with my grandpas 13. ____________ that hangs over the fireplace.
In desperation, I even tried throwing 25. ____________ on it, but it was all in vain. It just kept
coming. I thought I was dead for sure, when suddenly a strange figure crashed through my window
and jumped between us! He was tall and 5.____________, with powerful 6. ____________ eyes
and 7.____________ shoulders. He was dressed entirely in black, except for his 24. ____________
16. ____________.
"27. ____________!" the figure shouted, and quick as a(n) 29. ____________ he jumped in and
paralyzed the ooze creature with a powerful kick.
Without pause he squashed the thing into a(n) 14. ____________ and tied it shut with a long
15. ____________.
"How did you do that?!" I gasped, trying to catch my breath.
"Their only weakness is their 21. ____________," he replied. "One good kick and the things
are helpless."
"But how do you find it?" I asked, staring at the shapeless mass.
"That is easy," said the stranger. "It is right next to their 22. ____________."
I thanked him for saving my life and asked him his name. "I am 20. ____________, and I have
been hunting the ooze creatures all my life. Join me in my quest and we will make the world safe
from their 8.____________evil!"
Now that I knew the truth, how could I say no? I joined 20. ____________ that night and my life
has never been the same. I learned how to identify their 21. ____________ in less than
30. ____________ seconds, and together we have defeated over 31. ____________ of the ooze
creatures. I even got my own 24. ____________ 16. ____________ back.
