Choose Your Own Misadventure: You Are Insane but Having a Blast — Part 6
Part Six of an ongoing interactive story … with zero interaction.
You have just fled from the city park, warm blood flowing from your nose. Your friend Bingo Kim bought you some time by distracting a police officer with an insane free-form song and dance number. Before your escape, you possibly broke your own nose when you attempted to do The Worm on a concrete patio.
You are convinced the cop was there to arrest you for your theft of a raucous bright neon green keychain. You did not mean to steal the keychain, but you were distracted by the mysterious man from your building. He quickly seized the opportunity to point out your transgression to the authorities, and you have been hunted ever since.
Sailing down a sidewalk with a vigorous stride, you neglect to wipe the crimson flow from your mouth. You find that people seem to be actively avoiding you, moving out of your way as you run.
“Like Moses and the Red Sea!” you bellow to no one in particular. The people around you definitely hear your exclamation. Some shudder as they jolt from your path. Others smile and record you with their phones.
Finally you arrive at your destination, the cemetery. Your pace slows as you veer off from the sidewalk to a walking path that winds through the tombstones. It is so quiet and peaceful. Within a minute it becomes clear to you why you chose this place as your refuge. The bustle and noise of the city seems muffled in this place of HOLY SHIT ANOTHER COP!
This officer of the law is most certainly coming to put you in cuffs. She sneers and bites her lip as she hustles straight for you. You swivel and dart off the path, but then once upon the grass you remember that NO MATTER WHAT YOU CANNOT STEP ON ANYONE’S GRAVE.
It is time to choose! Post a comment with your preferred course of action. After a week (or two), the votes will be tabulated and the most popular choice will act as a springboard for the next part of the story. Your choices are:
- Hop and jump through the cemetery with blood all over your mouth like some kind of spastic ghoul
- Surrender to the police officer
- Convince the cop you are a type of daywalking vampire that is not to be trifled with
Good luck!
