The first word you see is your apocalypse. Take a deep breath and look forward, backward, and upside down.
What did you get? Can you handle it?
You’ll need a weapon of course. Let’s see what fate deals you:
Oh, no.
You still have a chance. Get through here and then take a quick break.
Phew! Now take a deep breath, because you’re about to lose something you can’t afford to lose. What will it be?
Wow, that’s really bad. Are you feeling okay? You don’t look okay.
So what happens now? Maybe your group will help you out. Let’s see:
Does it matter, though? Depending on what body part you lost, you’ve been dead a while now. Maybe your body is lying in the woods, munched on, chewed through, clawed at, sliced up. Guts oozing, blood trickling, flowing, pumping, brains splattered, throat slit, limbs amputated.
Do you really want to live through the apocalypse?
Circle one:
YES NO
GOOD-BYE
