Without any reason, Athena Austiere is walking alone along a mysterious beach. She is wearing a tiger-striped leotard, black tights, and black leg warmers over her beach slippers. Equally without any explanation, she steps into the quicksand and slowly begins to sink. Inch by inch, centimeter by centimeter, she sinks deeper and deeper. Pounding her feet and struggling only makes it worse. The quicksand slowly engulfs Athena's legs, thighs, hips, and waist as she gasps and squirms. She is nearly in up to her chest as she sees you watching her! She remains confused and surprised, and once she is in up to her armpits she pleads for her rescue. An epilogue features Athena slowly pulling herself from the clinging sands' grasp, plus a few, silent moments of the quicksand itself as it slowly settles back into itself, eager to engulf its next damsel.
