So here I am - with this hungry feeling - in the middle of nowhere... At least, that's how it seems, cause in reality, I'm probably in the most crowded place there is. Anyway, I decide to start a journey through this pink leafed forest that's situated ahead of me, to find something to eat.1
As I enter the forest, I hear something grinding, but I don't spend too much time listening to it, cause it's probably a bunch of inflatable cows, trying to get my attention. So I walk further into the woods, and when I end up at this fork in the road, I stand still for a while. I look to the right, and see a path closed in by pink leafed trees growing hairy yellow strawberries with orange dots. The route at the left has also the same coloured trees, but those are growing giant onions. After considering a moment which road to follow, I make up my mind and choose for the last option.2
As I walk down this shaking path - from all the falling onions hitting the ground - I end up at this open place. As far as the eyes can see, nothing normal to eat. But then, the moment I lift up my leg to continue my walk, I hear a squeal that sets your teeth on edge. "My god, what was that?" And as I look into the direction where the yell came from, a cup of onion soup is running towards me.3
"Don't eat me, don't eat me, don't eat me!' it yells; but too late... I'm already hunting it down. As it is running into the heart of the forest - with me on its heels - it doesn't pay enough attention and runs straight into an onion-soup-trap. Obviously I'm not the only one that likes onion soup here. Anyway, I don't care, so I get the onion soup out of the trap to fill my stomach.4
"STOP! Don't eat it!" I lift up my head and I see a giant onion crawling towards me. "Don't eat it..." he says once more, "...or something bad will happen!"5
"Like I care" I say "Me hungry, and onion soup is yummy." So I ignore the alarm call of the big onion and pour the soup down my throat.6
Suddenly I find myself hanging in a tree between the onions. "Shit, what happened?" I ask myself out loud. "Did you drink an onion soup?" I hear a voice answering. I look around to see who's talking to me, but all the onions seem to be quiet. "Hey, over here, on the ground!" As I look at the ground, I see a hairy yellow strawberry with orange dots and a head of a monkey on top. "Y-Yeah, I did... W-Why do you want to know?" I ask with a trembling voice. "Well..." Answers the strawberry, "...that's your punishment for eating an onion soup. Look at me, I ate a strawberry growing at the other side of the forest, and now I'm looking like this. One day, you'll fall down, and then it's your mission to run away from the evil fairy who lives in her tree house deep down the forest. If you don't succeed, she'll catch you and make a cup of onion soup out of you to serve her. Though, there are cups that can escape, but if a visitor - like you were - drinks a cup, he'll become an onion himself and so she never runs out of slaves."7
"B-But... W-What's the purpose of you looking like that then?" I ask. "I'll show you" replies the strawberry...8
He takes a step back, sniffles intensively on an onion and farts out loud. An onion-soup-trap is born. 'You see..." says the strawberry, "...in order to survive, we have to sniffle at least five times a day on an onion, and fart out an onion-soup-trap to catch the cups that run around freely. So when they are chased by a visitor, they run into them and so it becomes easier to catch them.9
Then, before I can say anything else, I hear something roaring very loudly, followed by resolute and steady footsteps. Is it thunder? Is it an earthquake? Suddenly, lightening strikes and I hear a voice yelling: "GET UP, you have to go to work! And why does it smell like onions in here?"10
"Hi mom..." I reply, and I get out of bed.11
Author notes
this is something for option 3 and 9 actually...
I wanted to give some humor (hope I succeeded 
- n°9) but for that I had to use my fantasy/imagination (n°3)
What did you think? Please comment!

Omg, what an awesome dream, LOL. Fart out an onion trap, how truly insane This was truly funny, I enjoyed this, it held me captivated right up till the end and I laughed out loud when I was finished, good job with this! Thank you very much for entering my contest! The judging has been very difficult so far, choosing who gets what will be hard thanks to entries like yours, thank you again!

A weird funny!
The story was was interesting, but maybe you could work on editing it? Like, new paragraphs when someone's speaking and indenting (you just have to press the spacebar five times, since the tab button doesn't work like that online). The story is really rather funny, but it is confusing for me to read.
Good luck in the contest!

This has got to be one of the most creative things I have ever read... it had a very "Alice in Wonderland" feel to it, as well as a garden of Eden forbidden fruit thing going on. Very well written and entertaining!

remind me not to sleep in your bedroom if you have strong food for dinner This was very creative and amusing. You added humour on every line and I found myself laughing here.
Very well done with this story! I think I'll call you Mijnheer Ui from now on lol
Kisses,
Mari

Lots of Love, Shannon Rose

Onioniffic.
LOL LEANDER. This rawks. You think you're bad at story writing? Pfffttttt. I liked it. See, the thing that you have done here that is the best in the story..Is your ending. Most stories are crap if they don't end right. And yours did. Because it had that little twist, and that one, was indeed a good one. Although I hope I'm never trapped in a forest with onions and strawberries with dots. I'd just eat some rocks or something! Just kidding. But thank you soo much for entering the contest. This wasn't too long or too short. Just right.

Very Creative
This does meet contest criteria of funny, crazy and weird and on top of that is very creative. I actually was in suspense wondering where your story was going. As you can see...I ate a strawberry
so hold your nose for scent Ode de Onion.
