[x] Food time.
Right. Food time. You enter the kitchen again, and open the fridge. Nothing. Maybe you hit your head harder than you thought? Is that not what fridges are used for?
Whatever.
You open the cupboards one by one, looking for SOMETHING to eat. Nothing. I mean... Unless you want to try your hand at eating porcelain?
Wait. Hold on. Didn't phone-guy say something about leaving money for food?
Why isn't there food here?
Guess you just weren't worth the hassle.
You walk into the blue room, and start digging through the drawers, looking for the money phone-guy left. He said it was for food, right?
Eventually, you find it. Five twenty dollar bills set in a nick-nack drawer. You pocket them. As you leave to turn away you notice something.
A small photo frame on the dresser is face down. You pick it up, and look at the photo.
It's a tiny you, a man in a blue suit, and a woman. Neither of the people bear any significance to you, but you seem rather close in the photo.
You put the photo back on the dresser, up-right this time. You feel a little lighter.
You leave the room, and pause.
Where, exactly, can you buy food?
You.. don't exactly know, but you can certainly find out!
You march over to the door, and out of the house. Clearly, if you wanted food, you were going to have to get it yourself.
Opening the door, you immediately get blinded by the deadly cancer ray in the sky. "Gah!"
You hold your hand up to block out the sun. You are a woman on a mission. Petty things like blindness weren't going to stop you from getting your food.
Once your vision adjusted, you looked around, for a sign or something. You spot a McDonald's sign out of the corner of your eye. It's faded in color.
You look back down, and look around. The side walk on your side is cracked, and leads down a row of houses.
On the other, is a chain link fence, a park on the other side. It's sketchy.
You begin your walk to the McDonald's, and whatever else is over there. As you walk by a rusty fence, your skin crawls. That's just tenus waiting to happen.
The fence leads you to the park, and you enter, seeing the shopping area on the other side.
The park is very pretty, all things considered. Sure, the benches littered around may need a little TLC, all in all it's pleasant.
You stop for a moment, to take in your surroundings. The leaves, the smell in the air, and... The dirt under your boots. Admittedly, that kind of sours things.
"Excuse me, you're Michael's kid, right?"
You pause, turning twords the smiling man who just addressed you. His eyes are blown wide. He seems surprised.
"...No?"
His grin turned, lips thinning. More barring his teeth than smiling at this point.
He rushes you and grabs you by the neck, pulling you behind some trees.
"Course' he couldn't do the job, he's got kids of his own."
He presses a cold, hard cylinder against your chin. Your eyes flick down to it, and he laughs, saying something vaguely threatening.
As he's blabbering on, you realize something. The hammer on his revolver isn't pulled back. This man, pardon your French, is a fucking moron.
[x] Idiot or not, he's still got at least a hundred pounds on me! (Surrender.)
[x] We can talk about this. (Stall, hope someone sees you.)
[x] He wants to throw you around like some kind of doll? Then let's show him how you play. (Go for the throat.)
[x] Write in.
(Edit: I felt like I was kinda floundering, So I expanded on the chapter a little. Hopefully, this is a bit more entertaining.)
