You can choose what problem you're having.
[[You're broke |Financial Problems]]
[[You have a tyranical boss |Work Problems]]
[[Father in hospital |Loved One in Hospital]]You have always had a slight problem with letting go of money a little too easily. Over the years you spent hundreds, sometimes even thousands on frivolous things. A new 70-inch TV, inside a spotless marble floored living room, on the second floor of your manor. You earned that money and thought that you had no reason not to spend it. Until, the glistening white of your living room floor is no longer marble, but past payment notices, and letters from lawyers threatening eviction if you don’t come up with the money. You sit on your faux leather couch and look at the dust rectangle on the wall where your TV used to be, wondering how you are going to come up with the money before you lose everything.
[[A stranger approaches you]]
For years you have put up with him. Mr. “I’m so special because my daddy bought me a business”. You sit in your 5x5 cubicle staring blankly at a red faced, privileged twit screaming down at you about improperly formatting this week’s memo, something about margins or font, your not really sure, you’re not paying attention.
It seems as though the boss finds more and more ways to single you out each week and you are getting tired of sitting in a low pay job, being dictated to by someone who can’t tell their ass form their elbow in the corporate world. You pray a silent prayer to whoever will listen to unburden you from this hellhole you call a job.
[[A stranger approaches you]]
It’s been three weeks since your father had the accident. He fell out of bed at two in the morning and suffered a compound fracture. Unfortunately, he was left unnoticed for almost a week, unable to call for help and developed Osteomyelitis, an infection that was contracted through the broken skin. The infection had become chronic when he was discovered. He is now in the ICU under constant watch. The doctors have a possible solution to help your father’s condition, but neither of you have the right insurance, or nearly enough money out of pocket. The best the hospital can do now is make him comfortable. As the infection spreads more throughout his body, you don’t’ know how much time he has left. You hope for a miracle.
[[A stranger approaches you]]A tall stranger in a nice suit approaches you. He offers to help you. He seems to know an awful lot about you and your personal problems. He's also very interested in you.
[[You will take his help |Yes]]

[[Quid Pro Quo |Favors]]You chose to turn down the strangers help and he bullies you into letting him help you. He makes you feel like things will never be better if you don’t agree to take his help. He shows up every day as you sink deeper and deeper into debt and reminds you of how terrible your life is. He dangles the thought of financial freedom in your face until you finally agree to accept his help. He helps you and everything is great again and then he asks you for a favor.

You think this is a very simple yet odd request but you accept. You go down to the local market and select a beautiful dozen of fresh, red roses. You go to the address the stranger has provided and ring the doorbell. A small, pleasant looking elderly woman answers the door. You hold out the roses to her and tell her that they are a gift from her son. She gets the words “But I don’t have a-“ before she is cut short by gasping for air. You ask what’s wrong and she points to the roses before hitting the floor. She grasps at her throat and struggles to breathe. She appears to be having a very bad allergic reaction. What do you do?
