"You know, someone should make a dwrp game set in a swamp environment," I just thought to myself without even the barest glimmer of self-awareness.

call it, "the bog where you croak."

bluecake : That sounds like the tag line to a Goosebumps book. Love it.

Title: "Frog Heaven"

Plotline, there's a rumor of a swamp where the frogs speak. Kid wonders if it's true. Is surrounded by frogs that croak to him in vague human language. There's a curse of some kid who drowned and now posses the frogs.

He finds frogs everywhere following him. Finally he puts on swimwear and enters the water, determined to help the kid's body...

Epilogue, some other kid skips along the edge of the bog, finds a horde of frogs. BUT THERE'S ONE MORE... and its got the kid's birthmark or scar or something.

These things write themselves.

bluecake : Absolutely big brained. I love it.

sounds familar

When I say "everywhere following him" I mean he finds one in his locker, in his lunch box, and a teacher scolds him for bringing his pet frog to class in typical "adults are worthless" fashion.
