"I heard the stories, but I never believed. You know it wasn't until he gifted me this that I knew it to be true," Elliot said, holding out a small artifact. "What is it?" Sira exclaimed, both curious and a little disgusted, "Who Gave it to you?"
"Yunkzilla gave it to me..." It was a Yunk and this is the story of how it came into Elliot's posession.
The road to yunk town was remote, rural, we don't even really know where it is, but the dangers that lurked, our hero would certainly face his peril.
Elliot was driving along in his red 1990 civic, he definitely modified the exhaust so that it was loud and obnoxious. I guess he was on auto-pilot, spaced out because on the road to Yunk Town, he drove head on into a...

Thanks! will do!
This hunk of material from Yunkzilla was cold to the touch and left a pronounced indentation on the seat next to him. It shed a bit of metallic covering and gave off a faint odor to match the putrid exhaust nicely. The cattle guard impact snapped him out of a daze; the Yunk now lay on the floorboard. It had been overturned quickly and from the corner of his eye, Elliot noticed....
FOUR. ... that there was the sharpest corner he'd ever seen on a road coming up. It was approaching, way too fast. He needed to reduce his speed, but gravity had something else in mind as he hurtled down the hill toward certain death.
The brake calipers gripped the discs, and the car entered a skid. Elliot yanked the steering wheel left, and the yunk on the passenger's seat broke the surly bonds of gravity. It propelled towards the windshield as the front tyres left the road, and the engine revved freely.
The car had broken the non-existent guard rail, and was about to fall into the ravine below, full of tangled rock and resilient trees.
5... Elliot's life flashed before his eyes. His car moving at 60 mph towards the rock and trees but his mind stayed steady... in a slow motion state.
All Elliot could think about was what this #Yunk was and what where its origin. He grabbed the ball of #yunk with both hands and braced for impact. His eyes closed tightly, and hands now filled with a glowing red #yunk, he felt a warmth overtake his whole body.
The warmth was not from an external force like the sun, but it filled him from the inside. It started from his finger tips and started traveling through his hands and up his arms. Soon his whole body engulfed in this feeling that could only be described as... #yunk. It seemed like an eternity but was only mere seconds.
Elliot had forgotten during this that he was hurling through a guard rail in his car towards certain death. A large flash and BOOM happened as the #yunk had completely taken over Elliot. When Elliot came to, the car mangled and Elliot standing outside of the wreck unharmed, he could not recollect how he had managed to escape as he stood over his 1990 civic.
"How much time has passed?"
"What is this feeling I have pulsing through my veins?"
As these questions swirled through Elliot's head he remembered the glowing red ball of #yunk ... he began searching immediately but could not find it anywhere. As he rummaged through his wreck of a car he caught a glimpse of himself in the rear view mirror.
He jumped back, startled, in terror. "What The Fuck!?? Who/What is that!?" Elliot asked himself.
He began to look again into the mirror, slowly....

2 . ..... it shaking. Violently.
The yunk started glowing red hot, and the brighter it got, the more violently it shook. "A FIRE" Elliot gasped, as he beat the flame down with the old sweatshirt in the passenger seat. Instantly, he got out of the car, sweatshirt in hand. Wrapping the already charred sweatshirt around his hands, he carefully yet quickly took it out and put it on the road.
The second it touched the ground it stopped shaking, it stopped glowing. Then without notice, the yunk started rolling! FAST! It was maneuvering around the nearby shrubbery and obstacles in its way picking up speed as it went. Elliot jumped back in his car, slammed his foot to the floor, and turned off the road to follow it. He couldn't lose the yunk after all this time. "where the hell is it going this time?" Elliot thought to himself. ...

The car rattled unsteadily on the uneven terrain, all the while gathering speed as the ball of Yunk rolled downhill.
He felt compelled to know where it was heading & would stop at nothing to find out.
Elliot glanced at the speedometer, he was doing 60.
"I must be crazy." He muttered to himself as the car hurtled down the treacherous slopes.
With his gaze so intently trained on the ball, he failed to see the...
