It was a dark and stormy night
NO! NO! To obvious, try this instead [[one sunny morning]]ya right . . . then it got really cloudy and dark and stormy . . . [[and then it was sunny again]]arrggghhhh! okay, okay let the player choose already . . . it was sunny again [[but then it got really, really cloudy and the sunny was snubbed out.]]
or
[[kittens and puppies frolicked in the sunshine]]you are walking down a deserted street and see an old house in the distance. Do you [[go in? ]]
or do you [[walk briskly by?]]there is a kitten heading to the back door
of course you go in. It is an adorable kitten.
you
[[follow it into the house]]Safe but boring.
Sigh.
The End
Seriously? You want the adventure to end?
Come on! Want to live dangerously? Try again [[follow it into the house]]The end
. . . .well that was a sweet story. Sweet but booorrrrrrriiiinnnnnggg. Try again.
[[one sunny morning]] [[into the forest]]Do you stop to [[join the kittens and puppies]]
or
Do you follow [[the one stray kitten]]The kitten disppeared. you stumble over a tree root and [[recover quickly]]
you [[land flat on your face]]you see a flash of orange up ahead
you follow as it bolts towards the back door of on old house
you [[follow it into the house]]
you think .. . [[no way . . . not a chance.]]To bad . . .the kitten got away.
The End
Try again? And get it right this time [[one sunny morning]]
you go in
there is a long staircase
do you [[go up the stairs?]]
or do you
[[go past the staircase into the living room?]]you turn and walk back toward the frolicing puppies and kittens.
The End
Boring but safe
Care for some more adventure? Try again [[one sunny morning]]You take out your cellphone and turn on the flashlight
you see a door at the end of the hall.
It is half open and you walk toward the door
What do you do?
[[you open the door and go in]]
or
[[you peek around the door]]you hear a small scratching sound coming from the room above
do you
[[stay downstairs?]]
[[turn around and go to investigate?]] You hear a mewling sound coming from the direction of an old-fashioned wardrobe.
The door of the wardrobe is locked. Do you have a key?
[[yes]]
[[no]]There is nothing there but an empty room and an old-fashioned wardrobe in the corner. [[you open the door and go in]]you explore the downstairs area. There is an cupboard in the corner of the kitchen. In the cupboard is a chipped cup with an old skeleton key in it.
you have a choice. you can [[leave it in the cup]]
or you can [[take the key]][[go up the stairs?]]
You hear a sound coming from upstairs.
[[This is getting creepy! You are totally freaked out! Time to get out!!!!!]]There is nothing to unlock. What is the key for? You look around the kitchen and living room . . . there is not a bathroom but an outhouse out in the yard. That is where they keep the bodies you think . . . and shiver. You decide to [[go up the stairs?]] or do you go outside [[to the outhouse to look for bodies?]]Are you kidding? I know it is the best place to hid bodies but sick . . . you go outside [[This is getting creepy! You are totally freaked out! Time to get out!!!!!]]The storm has rolled in and is striking with a vengence.
As you exit the house, lightening hits the peak of the roof and you wonder if the house is damned!
You run until you collapse with exhaustion. Rain and hail pelt you but hey . . . at least you are alive. You struggle to get up. Lightening flashes illuminating the surrounding woods. Did you see something?
A silhoutte of an old man? A tree stump? maybe but you don't stick around to find out as it seems to move, floating toward you . . . [[time to run!!!!!!!! And live to tell the tale ]]The End!
Congratulations!
You survived . . . remember what they say
(who is they anyway?)
[["Curiosity killed the cat"]]It doesn't matter . . . the key doesn't fit
[[you tug on the door handle]][[you tug on the door handle]]
The kitten is crying and tears begin to stream down your face. Poor kitty . . .
Awe . . . .
You put one last effort into wretching the door open. As it gives, the whole wardrobe begins to topple towards you . . . [[N00000000!!!!!!!]]Okay . . . okay . . . no it did not, not really.
The kitten lived another day and to frolick in the sunshine and to tell the tale . . . (try again if your dare) . . .
[[one sunny morning]] As it falls toward you, everything begins to slow . . . an orange streak runs out from under the wardrobe! It wasnt' even inside you think to yourself as the wardrobe crushes you.
You are dead
Remember [["Curiosity killed the cat"]]
