Light and Dark.

Covid-19 has us stuck inside and I'm getting bored.
Do you guys remember those choose your own adventure books?
I do. They were some of my first loves in the word of literature.

So for the last 4 hours I made my own short version.

It's choose your own adventure time! The game were the story changes depending on your choices.


The title of this story is:
Light and Dark


Would you like to play?


Something wakes you! Here you are lying in bed. The covers drawn up close to your chin. Your room is at the end of the hall
in a large 3 story house. You share the house with your mom , dad, and little sister. It's a safe place, but something woke you.
What could it be?

(Pick one.)

A) Get out of bed and walk over to the door in the dark.

B) Turn on the bed side lamp.

C) Go back to sleep

Turning on the lamp chases the darkness away revealing that you are alone. You still feel strange though. Like something is
watching you. Outside the window you can see lighting. A storm is raging. Maybe that's what woke you? Suddenly you hear a
scream! It came from down the hall. Sounded like mom!


J) Investigate the scream.

K) I'm just a kid! Let dad handle it.

L) Call out to mom and dad.

J.

Mom! That sounded like Mom! All you can think about is how she needs your help! Jumping off the bed you dash out the door and into the hall.
Mom and dads door is open. There is a dragging sound coming from within.


M) Step inside the door way and turn on the light.

N) Call out , "Mom!"

a reply to: scraedtosleep

M, no...N. Wait, no. M.

As soon as the light comes on the sound stops. The room is empty. Where are mom and dad? They must be in the main room.


O) Turn the light off as you leave

P) Leave the light on.

a reply to: scraedtosleep

Obviously P

a reply to: DictionaryOfExcuses

You call out into the darkness. Mom! Dad! Are you OK? Leaving the light on as you continue your search. They don't answer. The main room is through the kitchen at the end of the hall.
The only light that is on is the hall light but you don't care you have to find them! So you run into the dark kitchen.
You start moving a little faster. And then faster, and faster until your running wishing hoping to hit the wall. To hit something anything.
Now your moving in all directions even running back the way you came. Nothing , not the hall, the walls nothing,
Nothing but empty space and darkness. You run until you fall from exhaustion. Your so tired that you fall into a sleep full of nightmares about being lost.
When you wake you run again until you can't run anymore. Sleep takes you again. You are lost.

The end.
