At sunrise, you and your friend decide to go on a camping trip together. You canoe around the lake for hours until you find a little island in the middle of the lake on which to pitch your tent. Once you have unpacked all your things and gotten your bearings, you start a [[fire]].You warm yourself by the fire and discuss your plans for your trip. You can [[make burgers]], [[go swimming]], or [[explore]].You set up the grill and place the patties down on it. You listen to them sizzle. When they are done, you and your friend enjoy them as you discuss your plans for the rest of the day. You finish your food and decide to [[explore]] your little island.The water is cold but refreshing. You swim for a while before you start to feel hungry. You suggest that you and your friend dry off by the fire and [[make burgers]].You venture deep into the forest. The canpoy of leaves extends above you blocking out much of the light. You hear a rustling in the bushes. You can either go back to the [[fire]] or [[investigate]].You see a little rodent of some kind nibbling on some kind of mushroom. They are brightly coloured and look enticing. You check to make sure they are not poisonous. You [[try a bite]].The world starts to bend and swirl all around you. You don't know what's going on. You can't see your friend anymore. You see a strange light. You can either [[follow]] or [[run away]].You make your way slowly towards the light. You can feel the branches reaching out to you as you go. The forest has eyes. Finally you reach the source of the [[light]].You start running as fast as you can in the opposite direction of the light. You feel hands reaching out to grab you. The trees are watching. You hear a noise and get distracted, causing you to trip over a log, knocking you [[unconscious]].You encounter a small man holding a lanter. He appears very old and grizzled and stands no more than four feet tall. He beckons you to [[go with him]].You wake up feeling groggy to your friend tending to you by the [[fire]].The old man leads you to a dark cave. Liquid crystal drips from the roof. You can hear the spiders. You can [[go inside]] or [[question the man]].Inside you can feel the walls moving with life. It is wet. The only sound to be heard the the rushing of water, or is that the blood in your veins? You hear something large coming from inside the cave. You either run back to the [[fire]] or [[stand your ground]]."Who are you?" You ask.
"I am the one who knows, the original, the one above all. Listen to everything. In the beginning there was the word, in the end...only silence." And then, without warning, he is gone.
You look around and find that you are standing by the fire. Your friend looks at you confused and offers you another burger. They seem to have no recollection of the man.
You feel enlightened.
The sun sets.From inside the cave charges a massive monster. It is twice your size and covered in fur. It's paws are the size of your head. You stand paralyzed with fear, bracing for the end.
All of a sudden you see the little man stading in front of you, staring down the monster. He holds his hand out in front of him.
"Halt," he says.
Without any warning, the beast relaxes, relents, and returns from whence it came.
You are stunned. You [[question the man]].
