Slug-shot Doors

You wake up, tied to a chair, before you an old TV set barely visible amidst a pitch black void around you. Seemingly suspended off the ground on what appears to be arms protruding out the side. You untie yourself <img src= "C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\TV man off.png" width="500" height="500"> [[Turn it on]] [[Don't Turn it on]]

<img src= "C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Tent.png" width="500" height="500"> [[Scream for help]] [[door 1->round 1 door 1]] [[door 2->round 1 door 2]] [[door 3->round 1 door 3]]

Amidst the noise not a soul is in sight. Nobody is here to save you. <img src= "C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Tent.png" width="500" height="500"> [[door 1->round 1 door 1]] [[door 2->round 1 door 2]] [[door 3->round 1 door 3]]

You open door 2, a strange darkness behind it. <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Empty Door.png" width="500" height="500"> [[go inside]] [[choose to open one of the other doors]]

You open door 1, a strange darkness behind it. Extending from the darkness you can see the shine of metal. Before you can think a blast goes off sending you reeling back. Pain like nothing you have ever felt before shoots through you. The pain stops as soon as it starts, your whole body goes numb and you can fell yourself slipping. <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Shotgun Door.gif" width="500" height="500"> [[Death]]

You open door 3, behind it is a stage identical to the one behind you, the television set, and three more doors... [[Proceed]] <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Entering safe door.png" width="500" height="500">

you walk slowly and carefully through the void, your footsteps echoing the monstrously large room. The ground appears to be getting slippier and slippier as you progress. A light can be seen in the distance, incredibly feint but definitely there. You turn around and can see the light coming from the door in the distance. [[turn back->choose to open one of the other doors]] [[continue forward]] <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Look back 1.png" width="500" height="500">

you decide that maybe walking into a blind darkness isn't the best idea. [[door 1->round 1 door 1]] [[door 3->round 1 door 3]]

You decide to press forward. With every step you can feel the air tighten around you. The freezing air almost constricting your lungs, you take one last look behind you, the light from the door only a feint flicker now but the light in the distance even more noticable [[turn back->choose to open one of the other doors]] [[continue forward->continue forward 2]] <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\look back 2.png" width="500" height="500">

You, confident in your resolve, push forward. The ground at this stage is akin to ice, a layer of water coats it making walking almost impossible. Every breath cuts your throat like a knife in a wound. Was this a mistake? were you blinded by your stubborn certainty? was that light even there? With fear totally constricting and the door you came through a long gone memory you feel your composure slip [[Run]] [[Scream]]

Around you, lighs shoot on and a loud whirring noise deafens you. The scenery appears to be a carnival tent. The music confirming your thoughts. You see before you 3 doors. The television turns on displaying only one word... <img src= "C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Tent.png" width="500" height="500"> [[CHOOSE]]

... [[...Run...]]

[[AAHGHGAHGHHAHHHHHH]]

... [[RUN]]

... [[RUN!!!]]

While running full tilt through the darkness, you loose your footing and fall. Smashing your head on the ground. How long have you been here? Minutes? Hours? never matter this is where you will die. Stubborn, Starving and alone. [[Death]]

[[AHHHHHHHHHGHGHHHAAHHHHHHHHHHH]]

With tears streaming down your face you scream [[WHAT WAS THE POINT!]]

In your blind rage you hear a methodical thudding approaching you from the darkness. The television set from before running towards you with another single word printed on it's screen... [[Silence]]

You see the television set running towards you for a split second before it smashes into you killing you instantly. [[Death]] <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\SILENCE.png" width="500" height="500">

You Have died [[Restart->Start]] <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\DEATH.png" width="500" height="500">

HELLO! the TV set shoots to life and begins walking around you. I see you made it past the first door! only 2 more to go! The TV set bows and leaves in a poof of smoke. <img src= "C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Poof.png"width="500" height="500"> [[door 1->BANG]] [[door 2->BANG]] [[door 3->BANG]]

Despite the loud bang you heard before and the pool of blood below the door. You decide to open it anyway. Suddenly you can see what appears to be a barrel of a gun stick out from the darkness. Moments later a cheap grin appears too. So filled with anger you barely even notice the shotgun send shrapnel hurtling through your chest. Gritting your teeth you fall to the ground seething to the very end. <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Shotgun Door.gif" width="500" height="500"> [[Death]]

Entering door 2 you are met once again with an identical room, however this time there are only 2 doors. Written on one is "this door is safe" written on the other "the doors lie" <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\final doors.png" width="500" height="500"> [[this door is safe->round 3 door 1]] [[the doors lie->round 3 door 2]]

You open door 3, a strange darkness behind it. <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Empty Door.png" width="500" height="500"> [[go inside->go inside round 2]] [[choose to open one of the other doors->other doors round 2]]

you decide that maybe walking into a blind darkness isn't the best idea. [[door 1->BANG]] [[door 3->BANG]]

You hear a thundering shot go off in the distance. it appears to have come from on of the doors ahead, blood starts seeping from under the door of door number 1. <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\bloody door 1.png" width="500" height="500"> [[door 1->round 2 door 1]] [[door 2->round 2 door 2]] [[door 3->round 2 door 3]]

Still a bit shook from the bang and not really all there in your senses, you decide to walk through the empty door into a dark void. [[turn back]] [[continue forward->continue forward 1 round 2]]

You finally come to your senses, still shook but more aware you decide walking into the unknown darkness can't be the right idea. [[door 1->round 2 door 1]] [[door 2->round 2 door 2]]

You decide to press forward. With every step you can feel the air tighten around you. The freezing air almost constricting your lungs, you take one last look behind you, the light from the door only a feint flicker now but the light in the distance even more noticable [[turn back]] [[continue forward->continue forward 2 round 2]]

Choosing the door that says its safe you walk forward only to be met with a shotgun to your chest. You feel the metal press into your ribs as a feint smile appears from the darkness. Confused, distraught and angry you lunge forward at the aggressor. You are too slow <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Shotgun Door.gif" width="500" height="500"> [[Death]]

Entering the door that says "the doors lie" you are met with a blinding light. <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\final door.png" width="500" height="500"> [[you win]]

You walk through the door As your eyes adjust to the brightness you see a crowd sitting around a stage. Spotlights shine on you the TV one again pops into sight, "Congratulations contender, you are the soul winner of this years annual Slugshot roulette. Come claim your prize!" before you, you see a door. one door. <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\you win.png" width="500" height="500"> [[enter the door]]

With seemingly no other options, you open the door. For a moment you smile, until your chest is filled with so much pellets you couldn't count them if you tried. As you lay on the ground, clinging onto life for as long as you can the TV walks over and looks at you. <img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Shotgun Door.gif" width="500" height="500"> [["CONGRATULATIONS"]] plastered on its screen in a blinding white glow.

<img src="C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\Congrats.png" width="500" height="500"> [[Restart->Start]]

Deciding not to turn on the TV it shoots to life with a face so punchable you would if you werent tied to the chair. Taking just a couple of moments to untie yourself you get up and inspect the TV <img src= "C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\TV man.png" width="500" height="500"> [[What is this]]

The TV doing nothing for almost a minute suddenly springs to life "do you choose to play or not" [[I choose to play]] [[I don't want to play]]

"Great! come this way contender!" The TV starts walking through the darkness until lights spring to life and the whirring of a carnival is heard. you seem to be in the middle of a carnival stage, three doors can be seen in front of you. [[door 1->round 1 door 1]] [[door 2->round 1 door 2]] [[door 3->round 1 door 3]]

In your determined stubborness you decide to say no. "That is no problem my friend, right this way" the TV leads you through the darkness. The air is icy cold and the ground is slippy and damp. You cannot see anything except the antenna of the TV. <img src= "C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\dark TV.png" width="500" height="500"> [[keep following]]

"Here we are my friend" The TV stops in its tracks. confused you wonder where you are and ask [[where are we?]]

"You chose not to play, this is what happens to those who do not play" before you can question what that means a blast goes off inches away from you, for a split second you see a nightmarish creature standing holding a shotgun to your chest. as you fall over you see a number 1 on a door right next to you, you reach out for the door wathcing your blood ooze under the gap below it. <img src= "C:\Users\donal\OneDrive\Documents\Twine\Stories\Images\blast door.png" width="500" height="500"> [[You chose not to play->Start]]
