old man

an angry old man blocks your path his fists are up, like he wants to fight you [[fight him]] [[spare him]]

you punch him in the gut KR-GOOSH! FUCK, I think you cracked his rib he flops to the ground face-first, as if he has no skeleton [[continue]]

you run away it is surprisingly easy to escape he yells some old-fashioned swear words that must have been offensive in the past [[continue->continue-2]]

okay yeah uh he's... definitely dead [[hide the body]] [[flee the scene]]

[insert more story here]

you find a fork in the road [[take it]] [[leave it]]

the fork is ice cold the moment you touch it, you know the fork is cursed nausea and sweat bathe you you hear malevolent laughter from every direction [[keep walking->qwer]]

good choice it was cursed [[continue on path]]

you can't keep walking your bones grind to a halt your body has seized up you can only move your eyes and tongue [[wait->w1]]

you have an itch on the top of your head but there's nothing you can do about it except look around and wiggle your tongue in protest night falls [[wait->w2]]

lots of mosquitoes tonight [[wait->w3]]

day breaks but you are facing north so you really can't see the sun [[wait->w4]]

you are still cursed a whole day passes night falls [[wait->w5]]

more mosquitoes than the night before there is nothing you can do but wait [[wait->w6]]

day breaks again it's the second morning of being trapped in your body you realize this might take a while [[skip ahead]]

you are trapped the sun goes down and up you are probably trapped forever down and up days get shorter down and up days feel like seconds [[wait 1,000 days->w7]]

1,000 days pass it felt like 5 minutes it's several degrees warmer time is speeding up [[wait forever->w8]]

everything green burns down the sky grows dark with smog that the sun can't pierce silhouettes of mountains rise and fall the sky grows darker darker and darker now it's black and cold [[continue waiting forever]]

it's no longer black and cold now there's nothing not even darkness now it's nothing forever there is nothing forever there is nothing forever you are holding the fork oops! it was a daydream [[continue on path]]
