Prison

You wake up to find yourself in the same room as the day before. It is barely your second day in this room, but somehow that one day dragged on and you have begun to accustom yourself to your new life. "It's almost lunch. Perfect to kill some time." [[...->Room]]

You look outside the barred window, and listen... (click: "listen") [ The courtyard is empty with nothing but a couple of [[benches->Bench]], a [[basketball court->Basketball court]], some weights and the blank wall with a couple of small [[pipes->Pipes]] running down the center and leading to the backside of a [[water fountain->Water fountain]]. Nothing there, go back to [[room->Room]].]

You lay back down on your "bed" and begin to ignore the noise from outside your cell. Never really falling asleep, just thinking about how the next 10 years of your life will play out... What will you miss the most? Who knows? Hard to tell this early in your sentence. What about that [[flower->Memory 1]] you left by your desk?

But... Who?(click: "Who?") [ Who would love you?] (click: "love you?") [ [[...->Nobody]]]

While holding the bare flower, a bee crawls from the stem to your thumb. At least you're not alone anymore... [[Help it out->Bee]]. [[Kill it->Swat]].

{{{{BZZZZZZZZ}}}} from your cell gate opening snaps you back to your prison. Its time for [[lunch->Dining Hall 1.0]].

But anyway, you should get up, it'll be lunch time soon. (click: "lunch time") [ Time to head [[out->Dining Hall 1.0]]]

The green paint was chipped in several places, the bench had clear signs of being subjected to the courtyard's open skies. Old and used, there is clear wear. Its so old to the point that even from your cell window you notice that there are nails sticking out[[...->Window]]

Empty[[...->Window]]

Looks fairly worn down, I bet it tastes like tap water[[...->Window]]

Something awfully strange about the pipes suggests that they are worth a [[perusal->Pipes 2]]. [[...->Window]]

Nothing special now that you look again... except... the glint coming off by the wall where the pipe bends... wonder what it is[[...->Window]]

At the cafeteria, it was time you got some lunch. (click: "lunch.") [ Atop a tin-looking tray was a pile of corn kernels next to a small mountain of gravy-covered mashed potatoes and some ham. Not bad as food goes, but not necessarily appetizing. Well, however this food is, you still need to find a spot to sit.] (click: "sit.") [ Standing with a full tray in the room, bustling with inmates and guards, all tables were begining to fill up... You know no one here. [[Look for a table->Dining Hall 1.1]].]

Looking around you spot a fairly isolated table at one corner that has only two other inmates sitting at one end of the table. The emptiest table of all. (click: "two other inmates") [ Their body movements suggested that they get along well. Smiling once in a while as they talked. You wonder what they're talking about. It's the best table, so might as well go sit there.] (click: "go sit there.") [ You slowly approach and sit at their same table... they look friendly enough... but you sit at their opposite end, just to be [[safe->Dining Hall 1.2]].]

Slowly setting down the tray, you hope not to disturb the conversation going on at the opposite end of your same table. They glance over at you, but quickly dismiss you and continue on with their chat. Sitting alone again. You realize that some things don't change much with time. (click: "time.") [ Remember back in high school?] (click: "high school") [ You always ended up sitting alone back in school. The loneliness sometimes sedated your hunger. You never really did eat much.] (click: "eat much.") [ While in thought, an exaggeratedly loud clang of a second tray beside your own tray startles you back to reality. Someone sat right besides you. And you begin to feel sick.] (click: "right besides you") [ You look over at the second tray, and then witness a large and grizzly figure descend onto the seat next to you. He easily takes up the spot of two seats at the table[[...->Dining Hall 1.3]]]

Bigg takes your silence as your submission to him. (click: "submission") [ Skinny and Calvo notice Bigg has begun to devour your food...] (click: "...") [ "Haha, Look Skinny," Calvo began, "Looks exactly like a grown pig! HAHAHA!!!"] (click: "HAHAHA!!!") [ Bigg turns to them, "Fuck you two murderers, you ain't worth a lick o'salt."] (click: "salt") [ "Salt, haha, you'd probably devour that too! Hahaha!!!" Laughed Skinny] (click: "Hahaha!!!") [ "You know what," Bigg began, "Fucking idiots, you better watch yourself out at the courtyard concert tonight!"] (click: "concert") [ Bigg turns to you, "Alright, bud, go outside and look for anything we can use to kick the shit outta them at the courtyard-concert, alright?] (click: "alright") [ Defend yourself? You're basically a twig with the diet you kept throughout your life. Well, there is nothing else but maybe look at the courtyard where the concert is supposed to take place[[...->Bitch 2.1]]]

You pull your tray away from Bigg and begin to eat your own food. (click: "eat your own food") [ You can feel his eyes on you, but continue to eat, even though you feel sick.] (click: "sick") [ Bigg turns to you, "Alright, thats how its gonna be?" I mean, I have to eat too...] (click: "I mean, I have to eat too...") [ Bigg looks unhappy with that response. "There's gonna be an inmate-held concert later today. You know we's a very progressive jail to have a concert at the courtyard? I don't know if you know, but concerts tend to get rowdy, so you better watch your fuckin' back out there" said Bigg as he knocks your tray of food off the table and onto the floor.] (click: "floor") [ He gets up and walks away, leaving you alone again. "better watch your fuckin' back" echos in your head... Shit[[...->Stand Up 1.1]]]

The two guys at the end of the table noticed you standing up for yourself. They slide over. (click: "slide over") [ Skinny: "That guy is a total dick." Calvo: "Yeah, he's agressive, you better be careful with him." Skinny: "But that was cool. You've got our respect." Thank you.] (click: "Thank you")[He said to watch out at the concert...] (click: "He said to watch out at the concert...") [ Skinny: "You should look for shit to defend yourself out there." Defend?] (click: "Defend?") [ Calvo: "Look for shit before the concert starts, nails, chain, I dont know, just anything to use as a weapon. I bet I can fashion a weapon out of anything you find." Skinny: "You've got some time, so head out to the courtyard and look for things." [[...->Stand Up 2.0]]]

Outside in the courtyard now, you look around... find something to make a weapon... You look around a second. There are some [[benches->Stand Up 3.1c]] at one side of the court yard. The [[water fountain->Stand Up 3.1d]] is off at the wall opposite your window. The [[basketball courts->Stand Up 3.1a]] rustling with people, hanging about. [[Weights rack->Stand Up 3.1b]] towards another side.

Basket ball courts are too busy. Nothing helpful there to find[[...->Bitch 2.1]]

The benches are old, and you notice some [[nails-> Bitch 2.1c.1]] sticking about.

The [[water fountain->Bitch 2.1d]] is off at the wall opposite your window. The [[basketball courts->Bitch 2.1a]] rustling with people, hanging about. [[Weights rack->Bitch 2.1b]] towards another side.

Weights have been stored, which is probably safe. You were always afraid you would drop a weight on your feet. Never tried to pick one up your entire life[[...->Bitch 2.1]]

You walk towards the water fountain. Old and rusty, the pipes leading from the back [[bending->Bitch 2.1d.1]] and going up.

[[Rest->Nap]] a bit. [[Look->Window]] out window.

Behind the bend of the pipe, you find a smaller pipe with three tiny little holes drilled off to one side. Perfectly concealable in your [[pocket->Bitch 2.3]]. Maybe use it to hit someone?

You only manage to free two nails and [[pocket them->Bitch 2.2]]. Throw them at someone?

You look around a second. The [[water fountain->Bitch 2.2d.1]] is off at the wall opposite your window. The [[basketball courts->Bitch 2.2a]] rustling with people, hanging about. [[Weights rack->Bitch 2.2b]] towards another side.

Behind the bend of the pipe, you find a smaller pipe with three tiny little holes drilled off to one side. Perfectly concealable in your [[pocket->Bitch 2.4]]. Maybe use that to hit someone?

You look at your new tools... some rusty nails and a small pipe...(click:"nails and a small pipe...") [ As you stare and wonder what to do with these tools, Bigg shakes you.] (click: "Bigg shakes you") [ Bigg starts to talk, with a pipe in his hand, "There they's are, Skinny and Calvo, lets go get them, pal.] (click: "go get them") [ You turn around and look at the two others from lunch, and you see they've a third guy with them...] (click: "third guy") [ Bigg begins to walk towards them, "two vs three... should be fun." Fun? You just hope you make it out alive. [[...->Dead]] ]

You look at all the things you found. some nails and a small pipe. (click:"nails and a small pipe.") [ Skinny and Calvo come over.] (click: "over") [ Calvo: "What do you have?" Some nails and small pipe...] (click: "Some nails and small pipe...") [ Calvo: "Alright, I can do something with this, and this tape I found." He combines the pipe and nails together, creating a make-shift spikey knuckles.] (click: "spikey knuckles") [ Skinny: "Yo, here he comes."] (click: "he comes") [ You look over and see Bigg is heading straight your direction, holding something in his hand.] (click: "hand") [A pipe. Shit, again. Calvo: "This is it, you ready to fight?" [[No->End 3]] [[Yes->End 3]]]

Waking up in a hospital, you remember the fight. You put up an okay fight for someone who has never fought a day in his life... At least you earned some respect for the next day... and some major bruises... not bad. (click: "not bad.") [ [[The end->Start]]]

Small and musty, the air around your cell smells wet. On the wall opposite of the door stood a small opening, barred to deter any would-be escapees... wonder what's out there? Your bed is very twin-size. Small and springy, the frame was somewhat rusted. Not comfortable, but enough to rest and think for a bit, before its time for lunch at least. [[Look->Window]] out window. [[Nap->Nap]] on bed.

Remember working all day that day? Coming home from that dull and uneventful job. I spent that much time in school. I spent that money on my education. I spent all that work. And I don't even like this job at all. Thought it would be fulfilling. But it wasn't. and as a side note, everyone forgot your birthday[[...->Memory 2]]

But on the way home, buying that flower to brighten up your appartment. (click: "flower") [ It was nice...] (click: "...") [ No friends, but at least you have the [[Flower->Flower 10]].]

With your finger, you carry the bee out to your kitchen window. The bee begins to fly around you, buzzing closer and closer to your ear. [[Bzzzzzzzz->Petals.Lunch]]

You slowly raise your hand, just sligtly above the bee... Swatting it, you feel a sting on your hand[[...->Swat 2]]

Murderer! But...(click: "but...") [ as you drop the bee to the floor, you begin to hear its buzzing. [[bzzz->Petals.Lunch]] ]

You look at the guy sitting next to you, and he eyes you back, then he begins to say: (click: "say:") [ "You see 'em two guys right here?" He gestures over with a side nod of his head towards the two at the end. Umm, yeah.] (click: "Umm, yeah.") [ "Well, I ain't know much, but I hear theys in for murder." Murder?] (click: "Murder?") [ "Yeah, not working together, but two different kinds of murder at least." Two different kinds?] (click: "Two different kinds?") [ "Yeah. That skinny one, called 'Skinny', said straight up himself he mangled a man's face with a hammer at work. Don't know why but just did." ...] (click: "...") [ "An' the other one, the bald one... called 'Calvo' I think, I heard he dealt drugs. He began to hook young kids, middle schoolers an' such. Which is basically sending kids to die in my eyes.

You take a look at your food, and cant believe your in this place with people like these around... (click: "...")

Gonna eat that?" He says as he begins to fork your ham.] (click: "ham") [ The two at the end, 'Skinny' and 'Calvo' look over at your direction and notice that Bigg is taking your food. They both smirk.] (click: "taking your food") [ Bigg doesn't stop there as he begins to spoon a mouthful of mashed potatoes in his direction. The skinny murderer looks over again and shouts out loud: "What 'Stuart', your own food doesnt't fill your fat ass? Let that guy eat his own meal." Both Skinny and Calvo start laughing....] (click: "....") [ "Shut the fuck up, Skinny 'fore I come and fuck your ass up" Blurted out Bigg.....] (click: ".....")
