Crestfallen

[[I was only ten when it happened. ->So young]] [[Skip Empilogue]] [[Instructions]] [[Hardest Path {You Can Win A Prize If You Survive}]]

So young. If I try to remember more, I'd wilt like a bruised flower. I don't know how it happened, nor why, but what I do remember is dad laying on the floor and that one feeling. That one feeling when your stomach turns like a spinning bottle cap. You feel like you're suffocating, but yet you know you're going to make it. But still, it's too much. I didn't speak for a month after that. [[It was so unexpected]]

[[So jaw dropping and in reality, it's just so hard to take in.]]

[[The real question to ask is how could you take something so lackluster in? Once you read this, you'll understand the true meaning of "crestfallen."]]

[[PAGE 1: "Philip," my Mom said, as she walked by my softcotton bedding. "Come out!" "No," I replied. She came closer. "This is your last chance. Come out."]]

[[You stay quiet and ignore her. "We have a guest from my work coming". ->You stay quiet and ignore her.]]

You have four choices to make 1. [[Do what she says]] 2. [[Ignore her]] 3. [[Leave The House]] 4. [[Find Out What's Going On]]

It was just another snowy day in Antarctica. The wind gusts at a raging speed and all you could see is a blizzard storming in circles. You look around in circles and watch each glamorous sight for a while. The rain drizzling on your window, the orchids blooming. You jump out of bed onto your feet. "Coming mom!" "Why don't you go for a walk to the market, honey?" she says. "No thanks. I'm going to watch TV." "Cable's off," she says. You might as well go for a walk. You put on your leather boots. "Bye mom." You grab money, then open your brown copper door and walk out into the eerie, misty, morning. When is 8 AM so lackluster? Who cares? Snow flakes evaporate about your head, melting on your skin. You glim at it for a brief moment, then continue for the market. Finally, you make your way to it and stare at the embossed title, "Wood Chuck's Snack Bar." You grab a six pack of tangy, dill pickle sunflower seeds. [[Click This To Continue]]

You choose to ignore her. By the minute, she starts getting more exasperated. "Get down here." she requests. You hear someone knock on the door. Then your mom opens it. "Hi-" You hear a gunshot, and then you hear someone stumble to the ground. Your heart starts to beat super fast. "MOM!" You see a blond haired man start to walk up your stairs, holding a glock. You feel like you're going to faint. You run and get your sister and fill her in. "What do we have to break the window?" you ask. Your sister, Arriana looks around her room and sees a piggy bank. She grabs it. [[Click On This To Continue]]

You choose to go outside and see your sister standing on your front porch. She walks close to you. Then suddenly she shrieks at the top of her lungs. "MOM!" you scream. You turn around to face Arriana. As your eyes meet hers, she reaches her hand out and grabs you by the neck. Ants start crawling out of her skin. Your mom runs out with a metal pot in her hand. [[You choose to go to outside and see your sister standing on your front porch. She walks close to you. Then suddenly she shrieks at the top of her longs. "MOM!" you scream.

Suddenly your mom shoots backwards and hits her head against a steel wall. "Look behind you Philip. There is no world anymore. It's just you and me." [[continue]]

Red ooze comes out of her mouth as she speaks. She comes closer to you. "Arriana!" She grabs you once again but this time off your feet. Yoou look at your hands for a brief while and realize you are fading from reality. You are to weak to fight back, but what would happen if you try? [[1. Fight Back]] [[2. Try to pull her hand off you]]

You punch and punch and punch and punch until she lets go. You run for the kitchen knife but get instantly shot against a wall. TRY AGAIN [[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

You reach your hand out and pull back. You pull and pull but her grip doesn't loosen. You attempt to punch her but she holds you too far away. You kick and kick and you realize her grip is loosening. You pull your leg back and then shoot forward with almighty strength. She lets go dramatically. You take four steps backwards and grab your mom's frying pan. You look her in the eyes and hold the pan in a defense position. Then, suddenly, [for some reason] you back to when you were ten, when your brick house collapsed on your dad. It tramautized you, and ever since, you've had scizophrenia. This could be an episode, but yet if feels so real. You shut your eyes and act like nothing's happened. You hear a door bell ring. [["Mom?"]]

Your mom and your real sister enter your house. Now you understand that what you see sometimes isn't real, but is it a gift, or a weapon? [[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

You slam the piggy bank against the glass multiple times but the only damage that occured was a small crack. You turn around to see the man holding a gun. He holds the gun to you and your sister. You turn around to run and fall through the window. [["Philip"]]

[[You bleed through your lip. You're lucky it was only two stories high.]]

Then suddenly your sister gets thrown out too. You try to move but cannot. She falls next you. She looks injured but still able to survive, until- CRACK! A piece of glass shatters on you. It goes right through your stomach. TRY AGAIN [[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

"Hi. How much would this cost?" you ask. "Actually, those aren't for sale. Come to the back with me. I have some fors sale there," says the cashier. "Why isn't it-" you begin to say, but he already starts walking to the back. "How bad can it be?" you whisper to yourself. It looks like you see a kid locked up in a room for a second. "This way." [[Continue This Path]]

"Um-" you start to say, but realize the cashier isn't in sight. Then, instantly you see someone running torwards you in your periferal vision. You turn to your side and get grabbed by the mouth and get picked up. [[Continue To Find Out What Happened]]

You start biting and pinching but he doesn't let go. You look back and realize it was the cashier. You try to scream until he shoves his fist down your throat. [[Stay On This Path]] [[Go To The Beginning]]

He slams you full speed on the floor. You run to the door but he locks it. "LET ME GO!" you shout. He grabs you by the chest and slaps you in the face until your unconscious. [[2 Hours Later]]

[[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

You wake up feeling like it was just a nightmare, but know it couldn't have been. The cashier comes in. He reaches is hand out for you. "Help!" No one hears, or at least you think that. As his hand gets 4 inches away, something shocking happens. [[See What Happens]]

A man comes in with a shotgun and holds it to the cashier. "Let the kid go," he says. Then the cashier pulls out a pocket knife and hits his neck with it. He falls to the ground. You suddenly feel the urge to scream, but you don't. You remember the kid you saw, or maybe saw. [[Continue Where You Are]]

You get up to try to run to him but you trip and fall on your head. You get up again and run. He starts to chase you. You run and grab the phone he left on his desk. You make your way to a nearby room. [[Follow]]

[[See What Happens]]

[[PAGE 1: "Philip," my Mom said, as she walked by my softcotton bedding. "Come out!" "No," I replied. She came closer. "This is your last chance. Come out."]]

He bangs on the door and slams his fist through the door, swiftly. You start to scream and he doesn't hesitate to break down the door. [[1. Grab Any Weapon You Can Find In The Room And Fight Back]] [[2. Hide]]

You grab boxes and search through them. So far, no weapons. Finally, at last, you come across some gun that you have never seen before. It says, S E N on it. You set the trigger but the gun doesn't shoot. There are numbers on it though. Think about S E N. What numbers start with that. [[1. 2. 7.]] [[7. 8. 9]] [[Press Random Numbers]]

You stumble through cabinets and climb deep into them. Then, suddenly, the door breaks down. The cashier looks around. You put your hands over your mouth and breathe as quietly as possible. You slide over silently making a brief screetching noise. There is a washing machine right next to you. You wait until he is at the other side of the room. [[Then you go inside it.]]

You click those numbers. The gun seems like no effect has been caused. Then, suddenly, the gun explodes shooting you across the room. You're too weak to make it to the door, plus, the cashier is waiting there for you. You burn and burn and the heat slowly melts off your skin. As you bleed from your eyes, you fall to the ground abruptly. Try Again [[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

You click those numbers. The gun seems like no effect has been caused. Then, suddenly, the gun blasts a bullet and in the blink of an eye, it goes through the door and you hear a gulp. You look through the door peephole and you see the cashier bleeding on the ground. You open the door and shoot him again. Then, right at that very moment, the bullet explodes and gasts you 10 feet backwards. You're very weak. The only thing you can do is call 911. You try to call 911 but the phone is broken, plus with no signal. There is absolutely nothing you can do except hide. [[1. Lay There And Assume You'll Get Help]] [[2. Hide]]

You click random numbers. The gun seems like no effect has been caused. Then, suddenly, the gun explodes shooting you across the room. You're too weak to make it to the door, plus, the cashier is waiting there for you. You burn and burn and the heat slowly melts off your skin. As you bleed from your eyes, you fall to the ground abruptly. Try Again [[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

You wait there but you start bleeding a lot. You get more light headed by the minute. You throw up and start getting more dizzy. You pass out. [[20 Minutes Later]]

You wake up and the room is collapsed over you. You're suffocating. You try to move pieces off but you can't. You become cross-eyed. Right when you think there is no hope, a man starts to pull the dusty wood off of you. As you make it out, the cieling collapses on both of you. Hope can't always save you. The man is dead. [[Try again]]

[[Skip Empilogue]] [[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

You noiselessly shut the door. He walks over torwards the washing machine, a trail of blood following him. Some gets in the front of the washing machine. You shove your fingers into your mouth, trying not to cry. He opens the dryer. No one. [[Then he makes his way torwards you.]]

[[A piece of metal falls on the ground and the cashier gets distracted]]

Since he has already checked the dryer you slowly get out and climb into the dryer. He comes back and opens the washing machine. There is another phone at the other side of the room. 1. [[Go To The Door]] 2. [[Grab The Phone Then Go To The Door]]

You crawl as fast as you can making very loud noises as your legs drag against the floor. You shut the door. Since there is so much time for him to make it to the door, you decide to grab the phone too. [[Grab The Phone Then Go To The Door]]

You run and open the door, while grabbing the phone. The door is locked. The cashier has no way of getting out. You dial 911. [[9-1-1]]

30 minutes later the police arrived, plus my mom. I buried my face into her arms. [[Click To Continue]]

Later, we went to the police station to get checked. After that, I went home and had tea with my mom. Everything ended up being okay. [[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

You head outside. [[Click This]]

You open your brown copper door and walk out into the eerie, misty, morning. When is 8 AM so dark? Who cares? Snow flakes evaporate about your head, melting on your skin. You glim at it for a brief moment, then continue walking. Finally, you make your way to a place that says on the title, KEEP OUT. 1. [[Stay Out]] 2. [[Go Inside]] 3. [[Go To The Beginning]]

Curiousity fills your head and you want to go in so bad, but you can resist. [[Still Stay Out]] [[Go Inside]]

You jump the fences guarding the area. Once you arrive in, it looks like a homeless shelter. Chills run down and up your spine, and your neck hairs start to glide up. You shiver with every step. [[Jump Inside]]

You walk away from the area. In the back of the place, there is a hole in the wall, and it looks like there's blood on the edges. [[You go over there to investigate.]]

[[Jump In]]

[["Woah," you whisper to yourself.]]

The snowy breeze brushes up against your skin. You suddenly step on something crunchy. [[Find Out What It Is]]

You look down slowly. It's a severed head. You scream as loud as you can, but you don't want to tell anyone because you don't want to risk getting in trouble for tresspassing. "Help me." You hear a raspy voice behind you. It's a fairy. [["I'm the last of my kind. They will kill you if you don't get out. Take me with you."]]

You glare at the fairy for a minute. Then suddenly, the fairy stops breathing. You look around for a minute. [[You're frightened]]

Then suddenly, a man appears behind you holding a cage full of fairies. [[Click On This So You Can Continue]]

He starts to walk closer to you. He moves faster every step. You start to run back. You quiver as your running. You jump over all of the fences. You look back and the man is gone. Now, you're breathing heavily. When you arrive home, you decide not to tell your mom about what happened. That night, you wonder about what happened but you know you'll never find out. The next day, you come back to the same area. You don't jump the fences, but you look for the man. You don't see him. "Are you looking for someone?" you hear someone ask. "No," you reply instantly. "I've seen him too," he says, his voice echoing from the metal reverb. "Who?" you ask. "We both know. I'll take you in. I know where he is." Should you trust him? 1. [[Trust Him]] 2. [[Don't Trust Him]]

"Okay," you say. You both jump the No Tresspassing signs. "Where is he?" you ask. The man doesn't answer. You turn around and see him naked. His skin starts to melt off his body. His face splits in half. Then, before you could scream, the man holding the cage of fairies was him. He jumps on top of you and tries to choke you. [[Click This To Follow This Path]]

"No thanks," you say, slowly walking away. Then the man starts chasing you. You jump the fences and make it into the place. You turn around and see his face splitting in half. He eventually jumps on top of you, while choking you. You can't breathe, no one can hear you. TRY AGAIN [[EMPLIOGUE: Thump!]]

It was just 7 AM. You get dressed for school. Then you eat and brush your teeth. You open the doorand wal to school. It's half a mile a way from your house. The weather is very humid. "Aye. Look who it is." You look up and you see two other kids in your grade standing by you. One of them shoves you into a bush. Then they grab your shirt and shove you too the ground. "Look around. You see any adults around you? You see your mom? Maybe think again next time you come," one of them says. [[Maybe you should get an iq higher then your age," you reply.]]

Gordon, the taller one out of the two says. He shoves you again. "You know what, I'm jealous of all the people who haven't met you. Everytime I hear you speak I lose brain cells," you say. "I say more proper vocabulary in a sentence then you will every know in your entire life." "So your nerd now," Gordon says.
