You wake up, and pace around your bed for a moment before going to the [[window->The Window]].You look out the window, and there's somebody in the yard! If you don't recognize them, you're going to have to start [[trouble->Oh, it's Dan.]]. It's just Dan. He looks [[weird->Describe Dan]] today. [[You calm down->Dan]]He's kindof wet and has no pants on, which is unusual.Dan mutters to himself, you don't understand it. He makes a scary noise and stomps off up the [[stairs->Later]].After all the commotion with Dan, the house gets boring again, and you decide to take a [[nap->Afternoon]].Time passes. Do you: - [[keep sleeping]] or - [[get up]]You stir a bit in your sleep, but after the loud noises stopped, you were able to fall back [[asleep->Evening]].You get up and move around a bit, when all of a sudden Dan comes bounding down the stairs with a black stick, he growls at you, and slams the door. How very strange. Dan doesn't usually do weird things like this. Do you: - [[follow Dan->follow_dan]] or - [[stay put->dont_follow_dan]]?Dan wakes you up, he is yelling. You don't understand what he is saying, or what he wants. He's scaring you! Do you: - [[run away]] - [[intimidate him]]You use the small front door, and you see Dan leave the picket fence. Do you: - [[go through the fence->fence_follow]] - [[stay in the yard]] - [[go back inside->Evening]]Dan seems scary, you stay put. You roam about the house for awhile, you eat a whole bowl of food, and go back to [[sleep->Evening]].Dan didn't quite close the gate, so you're able to paw it open. Your collar begins to buzz, frantically, you run back to the [[yard->stay in the yard]].You wait around. You saw a squirrel but you decided against chasing it. Today has been weird and scary, you just don't feel up for it. Eventually, you wander [[inside->Evening]].You bolt. You run and hide under a bed. You [[wait]].You bark at him, and his eyes go wide. He points the black stick at you. All of a sudden, he becomes very still, almost calm. Do You: - [[run away]] - [[bark at him to make him stop]]You bark at him again, and there is a flash. You can't see! You feel like something really bad just happened, but you don't really know what. You try to get your [[bearings]].You blink, but you can't see. You feel unsteady on your feet, and before you know it, you've fallen over! All of a sudden, you have a terrible, burning pain running from your snout all the way to your shoulder. It's hard to breathe! You struggle to stay [[alive]].You wait until you can no longer hear Dan stomping around. You're terrified. You hear the door slam, and then a loud thunder, and some other muffled noise. You [[stay->stay_good_dog]].Everything gets dark, you shiver, and try as you might, you can't stay awake. You slide into the darkness. ''`***` YOU HAVE DIED `***`'' [[Start Over?->Morning]]"Stay! Good Dog! Roll over!" You remember the sunshine, you remember Dan smiling at you and giving you treats. Dan was never like this. What happened to Dan? [["Here boy! Come here!"]] "Come on, boy! Come here!" Dan is yelling now, the same thing he says when he calls you, but he's scary now. You try to ignore him, and you stay under the [[bed]].Blue and red lights flash through the cloth of the window drapes, which were left open in the afternoon, and nobody closed them. You hear more thunder, and then strangers with blue boots walk into the room. You're terrified, but they don't notice you, and then after a short while, they leave. It grows dark. The blue and red lights are gone, and it's very quiet. You fall asleep under the bed. ''`***` The End `***`''
