• You wake up in a room, alone. How you got here,
  you have no clue. It looks like an average closed
  living room, complete with a TV, sofa, and even a
  computer tucked into a corner. A window, blocked
  by heavy duty plywood, is set high on the wall
  behind the couch, so its not unreachable. The
  door is shut.
• You
• Sit and Think
• Search

3

• Maybe if you keep your cool, youll be able to
  remember what happened. What were you doing
  before this? Before you have time to ponder how
  you got here, you hear someone at the door.
• Should you try to talk to them? Or leave them
  alone?

4

• Hello? you venture.
• Ah, I thought you were awake. I could here you
  moving around up here. Maybe you should lay off
  the Twinkies.
• Offended, you say nothing. The stranger laughs.
  
• Anyway, its good that youre up and moving.
  Now the fun can start.
• What does that mean? Should you ask the mystery
  person or keep quiet?

5

• What do you mean?
• Youll find out soon enough.
• Then you hear footsteps tread away, leaving you
  confused.
• Chink
• The doors lock pops open, giving you the
  option of leaving.
• Do you take a chance and follow the person, or
  stay in the safety of the room?

6

• You back away from the door, deciding its best
  to put a distance between you and whoever was on
  the other side.
• Suddenly, the lights go out, leaving you
  completely in the dark. You can hear the door
  open people coming inshould you wait to see
  what happens? Or attack the nearest person?

7

• Surprise! Happy Birthday! A chorus of people
  yell out. The lights flicker back on, revealing
  all of your family and friends!
• Wait, they kidnapped you, insulted your weight,
  and scared you half to death for your birthday?
• It was your brothers idea! some one shouts.
  Should you punch your brother or enjoy the cake?

8

• Lashing out with all your might, you flail your
  limbs trying to hit one of the intruders. You
  successfully take out one, and who ever it is
  falls to the ground with a yelp.
• The lights come back on and you look down at
  your great aunt Mable, who you socked in the
  face. You look around to see all your friends and
  family giving you disapproving looks.
• All we wanted to do was give you a surprise
  party and you punch an old lady! Nice going.
  someone yells from the back. Yeah, nice going,
  old lady puncher. Wanna Try again?

9

• Par for the course, you suppose. At least your
  family remembered your birthday this year. A
  smile cracks across your face and you run over to
  the crowd and hug everyone one by one.
• So, do we have cake?
• Try Again?

10

• Screw this! You shout. You are so angry,
  steam could be coming out of your ears. You storm
  out of the room, making sure to sock your bro in
  the jaw on the way out.
• Tr
  y Again?

11

• You stay rigid with anxiety. What if they come
  in the room? Thinking of that, you look around
  for anything that could be used as a weapon. As
  you expected, nothing. If worst came to worst,
  you could use that computer monitor as a blunt
  force weapon
• The stranger leaves a note under the door.
  Strange
• Should you go and read it? Or just leave it and
  try to find a way out on your own?

12

• After making sure the person has truly gone,
  you walk over and pick up the note. Its written
  in crayon and says
• we has you hostige. if you ever want to see
  yourself ever again, bring 1000000 dollars to
  us.
• You scoff at the note. Youve either been
  kidnapped by an illiterate idiot or a hoard of
  first graders.
• You spot a sheet of paper and some pencils over
  by the computer. Could you just draw some money
  on the paper? Naw, they couldnt be that dumb.
  You could always try to escape.

13

• You slide a crudely drawn 1,000,000 dollar bill
  under the door. Will they ever fall for this?
  Before you can even answer yourself, you hear
• Aw, sweet! It worked! Told ya, man!
• Shut up. Just let em go now.
• The door swings open. Some tall, burly guy
  comes in wearing a ski mask.
• Youre free now. He grabs your arm, shoving
  you out of the room. You are then lead down a
  hallway and out the front door where you are
  promptly dropped on the ground. The front door
  closes, leaving you all alone in the persons
  front yard.
• Pity stirs in your stomach so persistently, you
  dont even call the cops.
  
• 
  Try
  Again?

14

• You dont want anything to do with who ever
  wrote that ransom note. You examine the door.
  Its breakable with a well placed flying side
  kick. And you thought those karate classes would
  never come in handy! You take a couple steps
  back and CRACK!
• The door breaks like it was nothing, leaving
  you free and face to face with a seven year old
  boy. You try to ask a question, but before you
  can a lady rushes down the hall.
• Kyle! What is this!
• Lady, you interrupt, I think your son has
  been holding me for ransom.
• Again? Kyle Thats not very nice! Why is it
  not surprising this has happened before? The
  woman looks up at you. I am so, so sorry! I
  dont know what is wrong with him. Would you like
  me to buy you some ice cream?
• For a moment, you consider getting some free
  ice cream from this woman. Then again, this was a
  traumatizing experience Should you get ice cream
  or sue this womans butt?

15

• You go over to Kaleidoscoops with the woman and
  Kyle. You get mint chocolate chip in a sugar
  cone, your favorite! On your way out, you slap
  the ice cream Kyle has out of his hands and run
  away. What a jerk.
• Try Again?

16

• Ill be seeing you in court. You say,
  storming out of the house.
• SIX MONTHS LATER
• Laughing as you walk out of the courthouse, you
  successfully and ironically got 1,000,000 out of
  the case.
• Try Again?

17

• You step out of the room, into a hallway if
  you could call it that. For as far as you can
  see, it stretches out in front of you. Every once
  in a while, a separate hallway will split off,
  leading to a new path. You only then notice how
  hot it had gotten in the hall, only adding to the
  sense of misery.
• Itll only get hotter. Down the hallway, you
  see a silhouette that must be producing the
  voice. So start running. A wicked laugh, and
  then the person takes off sprinting. Sighing, you
  can only wish that you had worked a little harder
  in P.E. during middle school.
• Try Again?

18

• Going around the room, you look for anything
  that can help. The TV doesnt have any power,
  even though it is plugged into the wall. You try
  the computer, but its an old IBM and freezes as
  soon as you turn it on.
• Under the couch, you find a screw driver and a
  flashlight. The screw driver could help get the
  plywood off the window Should you take it and
  try to get through the window or try to unlock
  the door?

19

• Its a good thing you watched all those spy
  movies as a kid. The lock breaks, leaving the
  door open. Armed with your flashlight and a screw
  driver, you creep out of the room A long
  spiraling staircase descends before you. You hear
  a clank from below. Then another then another.
  They are slowly growing louder, and that is when
  you realize they are foot steps. You freeze, your
  foot hovering inches above the next step.
  Whoever trapped you in that room wanted you in
  there for a reason, so will they be happy to see
  you out? Of course not!
• You need to choose now. If you go back up
  stairs, youll be safe, but the temptation of
  going down draws you on Which shall you do?

20

• Okay, maybe you should turn back You turn on
  your heal and try to dash back up the stairs,
  only to have the soles of your shoes loose their
  grip on the metal stair case. You fall backwards,
  feeling that sinking sensation in your stomach.
  You close your eyes, expecting the sharp crack of
  your head on the steps, the snap of your wrist
  twisting the wrong way under the weight of your
  body, the
• You wake up in you bed with a start.
• Just a Dream?
• You look up at your alarm clock, which is
  flashing 1200. Did the power go out during the
  night? You slam your head back on your pillow,
  only wanting to fall asleep.
• Try Again?

21

• Pushing down your fear, you keep on going. The
  foot steps have been getting louder this whole
  time, each one slowly razing you anxiety. Then,
  suddenly, you are face to face with an alien? It
  looks like a classic little green Martian that
  you would see on one of those space programs on
  the History Channel.
• It lets out a terrifying screech, somewhere
  between a cat yowling and someone clawing a chalk
  board.
• Woah, woah little guy! You try to calm it
  down, unsuccessfully. Stop screaming!
• Before you know it, you are surrounded by
  little green humanoid creatures, all of them
  picking you up and carrying you off to who knows
  where. Struggling and screaming, you are no match
  for their surprising strength.
• Lol, this ending got all Sci-fi on you. Try
  Again?

22

• Without hesitation, you pry every screw out of
  the plywood blocking the window. Warm sunlight
  shines down on your face, welcoming you out.
• Sliding the glass up, you take no time in
  punching out the screen cover and squeezing
  through the aperture. You emerge, free, but on
  the second floor roof of the house. Looking down,
  you notice it is actually a really long fall. Do
  you think you could drop down and make it, or go
  back inside to try something else?

23

• Deciding against instant, but painful escape,
  you try to ascend the slope of the roof. The
  roofs shingles are loose and very old looking,
  adding a sense of unease. This was a bad idea,
  you think. Did you really think that you could-
• Flailing around, one of the slates comes off of
  the house, sending you back down towards the
  edge. Before you know it youre free falling, and
  then-
• Everything goes black.
• Smooth. Try Again?

24

• You take a risk. This time, your heart is
  screaming at you to jump and nothing will change
  your mind. You take a running start and
• LATER
• An unidentified person has been found, dead,
  after trying to escape from a second story room
  of a house that belongs to Margret Holloway, a 89
  year old widow. In a exclusive interview,
  Holloway said
• I just wanted a friend. I didnt know they
  would go psycho and do that
• Holloway has been arrest and is now awaiting
  trial.
• How sad. Try Again?
