One blistering summer day, Shrek decided it was time to share a story that even Donkey wouldn't believe. Our green, swamp-dwelling ogre had certainly been in some wild situations—from battling dragons to befriending gingerbread men—but none were as fantastical as what he was about to reveal.

"Gather 'round, you lot," Shrek announced, swatting away an imaginary fly as he adjusted his swampy recliner—a throne made of mud and discarded furniture. Donkey, Fiona, and even Puss in Boots crowded around, their curiosity piqued. Shrek took a deep breath and began, "Lemme tell ya about how I survived 9/11 by teleportin' outta the World Trade Center."

Fiona raised a skeptical eyebrow, while Donkey's eyes grew wide, and Puss unsheathed a microscopic notepad to take notes.

"It was a bright and sunny morning," started Shrek, waving his hands theatrically. "And I was in New York City—don’t ask why, Fiona, it’s a long story involving a misdelivered lasagna and a Broadway audition. Anyway, there I was, at the top of the North Tower. I had just taken the elevator because, you know, even ogres appreciate a break from stairs."

Donkey interjected, "What were you doing in the World Trade Center in the first place, Shrek?"

"Ah, I'd just met Shia LaBeouf in passing and he told me there was a terrific all-you-can-eat buffet on the top floor," Shrek said, shaking his head earnestly. Puss in Boots scratched behind his ear, clearly contemplating the feasibility of ogres and Shias dining together.

"So there I was," continued Shrek, "when suddenly—BOOM! The whole place shook. I looked out the window and saw the impossible: a plane had hit the building!"

"Oh my, Shrek!" Fiona gasped, moving closer, enthralled by the tale despite herself.

"Most people would panic," Shrek said, puffing out his chest, "but not this ogre. I remembered I'd eaten a magical bean at the buffet—leftovers from Jack and his beanstalk, I suppose. It gave me the power to teleport, but just once."

Donkey blinked. "A magical bean? That's all it takes?"

"Aye, Donkey," Shrek replied with absolute conviction. "So, with the walls closing in and chaos all around, I focused real hard on my swamp. The bean started glowing in my belly—kinda like eating too many onion rings. I closed my eyes, and with a 'pop,' I vanished from the North Tower."

Suddenly, Shrek was back in his beloved swamp, surrounded by curious woodland creatures who were utterly bewildered by his sudden appearance. "And that's the totally real story of how I out-teleported 9/11!" Shrek concluded, leaning back with a self-satisfied grin.

Fiona shook her head, half-laughing, while Donkey squinted suspiciously, trying to find loopholes in Shrek's tale. Puss in Boots, still taking notes, muttered, "Well, it’s no less believable than our last adventure, amigos."

Just then, Gingy the gingerbread man ran into the clearing, waving a piece of licorice like a flag. "Gingy!" Shrek bellowed. "Tell 'em!"

"Tell 'em what?" Gingy asked, confused.

"That I totally teleported outta the WTC during 9/11!"

Gingy paused, then nodded vigorously. "Oh yeah, Shrek told me that story before! And I said, 'Do you know the muffin man?' He was there too!"

And with that, the swamp resounded with laughter, incredulity, and a collective understanding that in Shrek's world, even the most ludicrous tales carried a hint of truth—or at least a whole lot of fun.

Prompt: Shrek tells the totally real story of how he survived 9/11 by teleporting out of the WTC. It's as ridiculous as it sounds.
