Too Modern

Paula from Team Big Quick Snail was absolutely confused. She had trained for the Adventure Trail since month. She had even crossed knives and grid. And now? She had not expected that the AOG would work with virtual reality and 3D illusions. When she left her shell at the starting point, she wondered why she was sitting in the sky. And why was the sky so glossy and polished? And those skewers looked so dangerous!
She was really a brave snail, but that was too much. She returned into her shell and stayed there until the race was over. Better save than sorry!
