This one I did in less than five minutes. It hit me out as I was watching More Than Zero, because I don't know about you, but I found it pretty funny when poor, clumsy, brilliant Dr. Quest kept falling in the scene where the entity gets Race.
Obviously, it's a spoiler for More Than Zero, which is (in my opinion) one of the best Jonny Quest shows.

The deep chuckle rippled through the heavy atmosphere of the room, its source indistinguishable. There was nowhere in that cursed house that they could hide where it would not see them, nowhere to go where it would not eventually do the same to them as it did to Hadji — drag them, screaming and helpless, to be swallowed by the wall itself into the spiritual, dead dimension. It was a place where they would be held prisoner in black cages in lightless rooms, tortured and traumatized by the anguished spirits of the long-dead, a place where there was no hope of escape or peace, where their souls would suffer eternally in the dark and all alone.
To his horror, Race and Jonny seemed to be the next of its taken ones.
"Dad! Pull us out of QuestWorld…now!" His son's terrified screech rung louder in his ears than the sickeningly amused laugh.
"Shutting down QuestWorld…" That was as far as he could get before a bolt of blue energy struck him from out of nowhere and a jolt of electric agony shot through his entire body.
He opened his eyes and realized he was face-first on the tiled floor, several feet from the laptop. The sound of Race's demand for Jonny to run for it was distant and foggy as he gasped out desperately, "Jonny…"
Just as he regained his unsteady footing, the entire floor tilted almost at a vertical angle, and he clumsily crashed onto the ground once again.
To his own surprise and disbelief, for a moment the only thought in his mind was:
I wonder what this looks like from the outside. Must be something to see a big manor on a little island suddenly flip over like this. I wish I had a camera.
If it hadn't been for the solidifying sound of his best friend and only remaining child running desperately for their lives, he would have laughed out loud.
It's just a little drabble, but I hope you like it. Man, I love Dr. Q...
