What are you running from?
[[A bad family|family]]
[[A bad ex partner|partner]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
He was awful to you
Cruel
Unloving
A liar
It didn't start that way of course, it never does
[[I'm sorry|sorry]]
<</type>><<type 40ms start 2s>>
You startle awake after dreaming of nothing in particular
You panic a little, looking around your unfamiliar surroundings
Waking up in a new place is always weird
[[Look over at your alarm clock|clock]]
<</type>>[img[3am.png]]
<<type 40ms >>
Jesus. 3 am?
You wonder what could've woken you up at such a sterotypical time
You don't wonder long though as fatigue over takes any curiosity
Moving really takes a number on you
[[Go back to sleep|sleep]]
[[Stay up a little longer|stay]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
The bed might be unfamiliar but it's still warm
You fall asleep listening to the unsettling sounds of the house and that which surrounds it
<<type 40ms start 3s >>
[[wake up|wake]]
<</type>>
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You decide to stay awake a little longer
The new house noises are getting to you more than you thought they would
It's weird, no one ever thinks about how loud a quiet house can be when it's new
As you think these thoughts, you fall asleep against your will
<<type 40ms start 3s>>
[[wake up|wake]]
<</type>>
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You wake up a bit less abruptly than a few hours ago, but feel just as shitty
In the light of day your grandma's old place isn't so bad, just dated and full of your <s>shitty</s> budget friendly furniture and other possesions
Unpacking everything sucks but you know you need to do it eventually
What should you start unpacking?
[[Your clothes|clothes]]
[[Your dishes|dishes]]
[[Your books|books]]
<</type>><<type 40ms>>
You unzip one of the Ikea bags that hold half of you wardrobe
There's no way your South Florida shorts and sundresses are going to hold up in the Michigan winter
You sigh and put your favorite sundress back on top of the pile
It might have been worth it to run from your family but damn you're gonna miss the warmth
And new clothes is more money. A lot more money
You can't think about this anymore [[unpack something else|unpack]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You take the creaky stairs down to the kitchen where your few boxes of <s>shitty</s> affordable dishes sit
Most of the dishes were parts of plastic dollar store sets that you stowed away in order to prepare for your run from him
The dishes were always the first thing he would break
The half set with little green flowers was still your favorite
You carefully place the dishes in the sink to wash the move off of them later
Chores sound exhausting right now [[unpack something else|unpack]]
<</type>>
:: books2
<<type 40ms >>
You wander into the living room where your book cases are already set up
They lay empty at the moment and you think of how cozy it'll be once they're filled
You open up the first box, feeling at least a little optimistic about your situation
Only for you to open the box to <em>The Catcher in the Rye</em>
Your ex's copy
That asshole
You know you didn't pack that awful book
He must have put it in there to keep his fingers in your life
Maybe unpacking isn't the thing to be done today
[[Go back upstairs|upstairs]]
<</type>>
:: upstairs
<<type 40ms >>
Alright, it's time to go into town, you've put it off long enough
You change out of your pjs and into some jeans
Which shoes to wear...
[[Boots?|boots]]
[[Running shoes?|shoes]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You shove your feet into your old work boots
They are way heavier than you remember
Hope you aren't chased
What an odd thing to think
Ready to go?
[[yes|yes]]
[[no|no]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You slip on your running shoes, regretting your choice since they look so dorky
Well at least if you get chased you'll have a chance
What an odd thing to think
Ready to go?
[[yes|yes]]
[[no|no]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
Aw you don't want to go?
That sucks
[[Open the front door|yes]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
Alright, ready to explore this new town
You wonder if they others will think it odd that you've been hear two weeks and haven't ventured out
Small towns can be odd like that.
Everyone knows everything
<<type 40ms start 3s >>
[[Off you go|outside]]
<</type>>
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
It's an unfourtunately beautiful day, you were hoping for an excuse to go back inside
You walk down the path away from the house
The forest that surrounds the cottage is terrifying
It's dark
It's foreboding in the worst sense of the word
[[Continue down the path|continue]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You keep going
Staying on the path makes the forest a little less intimidating
You come over the crest of the hill and there's...
There's something in the distance
Will you check it out?
[[yes|yes2]]
[[no|no2]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
There's no turning around
You have to know what it is
There's just something about it
Just
Go
[[Look|yes2]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You start walking over the hill
You start running
You get to the top and it's
It's a
What the hell is it?
Flying saucer?
UFO?
Spaceship?
You can't believe what you're looking at
[[Examine|examine]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
It's almost the size of your house
It's dark
Metallic
You have to see more
[[Go left?|left1]]
[[Or right?|right1]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You go around to the left side
It looks like the front of the ship
If something like this even has a front
A smooth pane gives the impression of a window, but you can see through it
The window wraps around another few feet past around the craft
[[Follow it|follow]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You go around the right side
It seems like the back of the ship
If something like this even has a front
Wrapping around the side other side of the ship is something smooth and glossy
A window maybe?
[[Follow it|follow]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You follow the window to the other side of the ship, tracing your hand along the cool, smooth surface
You find yourself at the front? Back? the whatever of the craft
and look at you reflection in the glass
<<type 40ms start 2s >>
You lose yourself in thought for a moment and, somehow it's darker...
You straighten yourself, maybe it's time to go back home you think
As you contemplate which direction your house is you hear
<<type 40ms start 2s >>
<h1>BANG</h1>
<h1>BANG</h1>
<h1>BANG</h1>
<h3>BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG</h3>
You are terrifed
<h1>BANG</h1>
You are frozen

It's coming from inside the ship

[[Run|run]]
<</type>>
<</type>>
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You run
Tearing through the woods
Getting scratched and scraped
Tripping
Falling
Getting up
Running
What are you running from?
Are you even being chased?
You should [[check behind you|behind]]
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You're so scared to look behind you
You're so scared to see if you have a reason to be running
You look behind you
<<type 40ms start 2s >>
You see
Me
<<type 40ms start 2s >>
You're running from me
You didn't really think there were aliens in the woods did you?
No no, that was me
I've been chasing you this whole time
Slowly
Watching you in your sweet little house
Waiting
Waiting for the day when you finally come out to see me
[[Why are you running?|why]]
<</type>>
<</type>>
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
You were so intent on seeing an alien today
You were so scared you might, but you still wanted to
Why won't you look at me?
Scared you'll see your mother?
Of course not that would be silly
I'm sure you're just nervous
Scared to enter this wonderful new part of your life
<<type 40ms start 2s >>
Are you scared?
[[yes|yes3]]
[[no|no3]]
<</type>>
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
Liar
<<type 40ms start 2s >>
Oh you tripped
You poor sweet thing
If you weren't scared, why were you running?
And why
Are you screaming so loud
<</type>>
<</type>><<type 40ms >>
Oh darling, I know you are
<<type 40ms start 2s >>
Oh you poor sweet thing
You tripped
I know you're scared, but we can just talk about it
But why
[[Are you screaming so loud|screaming]]

You weren't fast enough
