| Choose your own adventure The Legend of the Mini-Mart It was a cold day, the kind of cold day when you just wanted to curl up with a blanket near a nice cozy fire. But that was not to be. Perhaps the whole disaster could have been prevented if that had been what had happened, but that�s not what happened. What happened was that your friends, Bob and Sally, came over to watch a movie. Then you realized that you were out of popcorn. Perhaps nothing would have gone wrong if you would�ve just decided not to have popcorn, or if you weren�t out of popcorn, but the fact is that that did happen, and you and your friends did decide to walk to the mini-mart to get some popcorn, wrapped up in coats and carrying only a flashlight and money. You walked into the store with Bob and Sally at your side. �This place seems���.eerie.� You say uneasily as you look around the store. �Get over it.� Sally, ever loudmouthed, chimes in, �Where�s the popcorn?� �Over there.� Bob, excellent at finding things, points to a sign labeled Popcorn. You pick up the popcorn as your bad feeling grows, then take it to the counter. �I�d like to buy this popcorn.� You tell the store employ, who has his back turned to you. Then the employ turns around, and you wish he hadn�t. Blood oozes from a gash in his head and his voice sounds as if it�s coming form the grave. �You will never leave alive.� The voice rasps, and without knowing how you got there you�re backed up against the wall and the popcorn is lying a few feet away from you on the floor. You can hear Bob and Sally�s screams as the world starts to spin����.. �What happened?� Sally groans, clutching her head in her hand, �One moment we were at the mini-mart and the next. She looked up from her misery then began to stare around in shock. �Sally? Sally what is it!� You shout as you jolt up, sending a wave of dizziness through you. �It can�t be!� Sally moans beside you, �It just can�t be!� You look around and realize the reason for her panic. You know where you are. You�re at school. �NO!!!!!!!!!!!� You hear Bob scream from beside you. �NOT SCHOOL! ANYWHERE BUT SCHOOL!� �Calm down!� You tell him in irritation, �There has to be a perfectly reasonable explanation for this�.� If you decide to run around screaming madly, turn to page 10 If you decide to explore the school, turn to page 14 |
