Restart Story

You gave birth to a baby; you remember the sharp pains and the pressure, the screaming.\n\nYou're a mother now.\n\nBut you've just woken up and realized that you have forgotten to feed your baby. It's been several days...it seems strange that you'd forget something like that. You should check on it.\n\nThe baby is hard when you pick it up, its head and limbs mere lines etched out of the stone of its torso. You try to sprinkle milk on its face, but it won't respond. How could this have slipped your mind? It seems so unlike you to let a baby starve to death.\n\n...Will you get in trouble?\n\n<<choice "Dream another dream">>\n<<choice "Really try to wake up">>

You strain and shift, trying to <<display "WakeupLoop">>...it doesn't work.\n\n<<choice "Have another dream">>\n
You are home in your living room. It's time to feed your baby. You expose your breast and pick up your child, your small furry child, your pet cat, and gently hold his face to your left nipple. \n\nYou feel his small toothless mouth start to work against your flesh, but he can't suckle. He twists his head away in frustration and you feel despair.\n\n<<choice "Have another dream">>\n<<choice "Try to wake up">>

Dreaming
You kick out and murmur nonsense in your sleep, trying to <<display "WakeupLoop">>...it doesn't work.\n\n<<choice "Dream another dream">>\n
It's time to go to sleep now. \n\n<<choice "Have a dream">>
You're out to dinner with a group of friends. You're all nestled away in the corner of a fancy hotel that is also a nightclub. \n\nYou feel the overwhelming urge to defecate.\n\nAs the shit starts coming out of you, it feels large and strange. When you turn around, it's a baby, or feces shaped like a baby. It's so embarrassing, you try to cover it up with a reusable shopping bag you have at hand. \n\nThe shit baby is sticky, everything it touches is ruined. You try to cover it with your body when the server comes by to deliver another round of drinks.\n\nYou know everyone will hate you now, that this is the last time you will see any of these people, that they are horrified or they will be when they learn.\n\n<<choice "It's time to wake up">>

You're a 31-year-old woman married to a 29-year-old man and although it's not every day, more than once a week someone reminds you of the only thing you're supposed to want, and the thing everyone is waiting on you to produce.\n\nIt's not subtle and you're not a robot; you notice, it has an impact.\n\nGood morning.
