Crossroads

You are standing at a crossroads. Go [[Left]] Go [[Right]]

You see a man in a dark coat. [[Hide]] [[Run Away]] [[“Hello are you alright?”]] [[“What are you doing here?”]] [[Whistle]] <a href=" http://torntoribbons.weebly.com/real-live-friends ">"Can we be friends?"</a>

It's a dead end. You sit in the road and wait for something to happen. [[Go Back]]

He beats you to death with a pipe...

You whistle a jaunty tune. After a tense moment the man whistles it back. [[Run Away]] <a href=" https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a6/Whistlers_Mother,_James_Abbott_McNeill_Whistler_cropped.jpg/1024px-Whistlers_Mother,_James_Abbott_McNeill_Whistler_cropped.jpg ">"Mother?"</a> <a href=" http://torntoribbons.weebly.com/music.html ">Keep Whistling</a>

You duck behind a rock and the man passes by. You stay there until the coast is clear at which point you decide to stay a little longer. Gradually you become accustomed to your rock. It's not much but it's yours after all. More and more comfortable you begin to shut yourself off from the outside world. Eventually you start to only see what is put in front of you. Unfortunately it's bullshit. You become steadily more and more removed from reality. <a href=" http://torntoribbons.weebly.com/what-an-eyesore.html ">"Well at least I've got my rock!"</a>

The man turns to face you, his sad eyes struggling to convey the torment within. Slowly he opens his mouth and says: "I used to be alright" [["What happened?"]] <a href=" http://torntoribbons.weebly.com/writing.html ">"Tell me your story..."</a>

Well it's funny you should ask! I was walking down the road the other day and I saw this chicken! Just standing there in the road right? You heard about this? Anyway I don't know why it was there but I think that's taking free range a bit to far. KNOW WHAT I MEAN. Anyway you got any kids? I haven't but I've decided if I ever have a son I'm going to call him Miles. Of course if we ever go to Europe he'll have to be Kilometres... AM I RIGHT? [["I'm sorry I just don't think you're funny..."|Run Away]] <a href=" http://torntoribbons.weebly.com/comedy.html ">”Err Yes?”</a>

You are standing at a crossroads. [[Go Left|Right]] [[Go Right|Left]]

[["Did the cat get your tongue?"]] [["Tell me what happened?"|Run Away]] [["Did your string come undone?|Run Away]] [[Stick your fingers up|Run Away]]

[["Are you alright?|Run Away]] [["Did your string come undone?"]]

[["One by One"]] [["It comes to us all"|Run Away]]

[["One by One"|Run Away]] [["It comes to us all"]]

[["It's as soft as your pillow"]] [[Stop singing Radiohead|Run Away]]

[["YOU USED TO BE ALRIGHT! WHAT HAPPENED?!"]] [[Stop singing Radiohead|Run Away]]

[["Did the cat get your tongue?"|Run Away]] [[Don't stop singing Radiohead|Run Away]] [["Et cetera, Et cetera..."]]

[[“How come I end up where I started?”|Start Again]] [[“How come I end up where I went wrong?|Right]] [[“Won't take my eyes off the ball again!|Hide]] [[“You reel me out then you cut the string”]]

The man wipes tears away from his eyes. Thank you. I feel better now. Much better! But you see the problem is... I'm not a man... <a href=" http://torntoribbons.weebly.com/music.html ">I'm a skunk!</a>
