Your hands are shaking... but you continue to write in your journal.

[/i]...now I'm all alone. No one here to help me... to tell me what to do. Corbis just went crazy. We should have known from the beginning. He gave us signs, but we ignored them. I had a feeling in my gut about him, and what he'd been up to before we all teamed up together, but I foolishly ignored that as well.

You take a break from writing, and focus on calming your nerves. Sweat dribbles down the side of your face, cooling you off.
You stand up, and look at the evironment. You're inside of a small room, with a dark hallway staring at you. You sit back down, and begin to write some more.

If you find this, journal, then you should be able to find the radio that I have left for you. Look in the desk, third droor. Turn the frequency to 30.6, and talk to me. I have no clue what these things are, so I'm hoping that you do. Please, contact me right as you read this.[i]

You place the pen that you've been using into your pocket. You then place the journal on the floor where you've been sitting, and you stand up once again. You take a few steps in front of you, then you look down at the monster that you killed a few minutes earlier. Its head is shrunken, and its hands don't even seem to exist anymore. Enormous blades have grown out of the monsters arms, and a few bones reach out from the monsters shoulders. Suddenly, the monster's arm moves, and the blade taps your shoes. "Ah!" you yell, stepping back. The monster lies on the floor completely motionless now. Your hands begin to tremble some more. "Its time to move, screw this place." you say to yourself. The intimidating dark hallway continues to stare at you. There is a desk beside you, where you placed the radio for someone to retrieve, hopefully. A lantern is lit, sitting on top of the desk, but it has little oil remaining.

What will you do?

Choose actions carefully in this game. This game is mainly for advanced players... which means that you gotta think a lot and make sure you make few errors.

The Sanity means how... sane you are. The more monsters you encounter, the more your sanity will drop. If your Sanity reaches rock bottom, then your companions will consider you a threat and unsafe to be around, and therefor they will kill you. If you have no companions, then you will be okay, but monsters will find you more frequently and it will be more dangerous. To decrease your sanity, drink alcohol, or just simply talk to companions about memories or talk about something you miss. Anything that would help you keep your mind in place.

The category named: Suffering From, tells you what your suffering from pretyt much. You have to eat, drink, and sleep in this game. If you don't get enough sleep, you will suffer from sleep deprivation. If you don't drink water, you'll suffer from dehydration, etc.

So... what will you do?

first i search a bottle to fill it with water, but only if i have still some space left in my inventory. if i am not too tired to go out i will leave this building to find a safer place to rest. but if i am too tired to do that i search a safe place where i can hide and rest but so that no monsters surprise me.

Unfortunately, you can't take the bottle with you, unless you drop the lamp or the lantern. Otherwise, you'd have to leave it.

ayjay, I meant to update your story as well as Blue's, but apparently I deleted it during the post and I'll have to redo it. I'll get on it tomorrow.

Unfortunately, you don't find any bottles around to fill them with water.
Your not too tired, so you decide to go out and find somewhere else to stay and rest. It is tremendously stupid to rest here. You exit the building, and the first thing you see is devastating. A building is toppled over, blocking the road to your left. Straight ahead, there is another office building that is probably 40 stories high, and to the right is a road with buildings on both sides of the road. Suddenly, you hear a screech. You look up, and you see one of the monsters looking down on you from a window in the building ahead of you. Then, it quickly ducks its head back into the window.

What will you do?

You put three items in to the bottle, and you toss the lamp away. You couldn't fit anything else into the bottle.

The office room still has items in it. Would you like to take anything else since you've made some room, or progress?

You kick the monsters stomach in, and it doesn't move; its dead. You look down the hallway, but you cannot see at the end of it. You see something shining because of the lantern's light...

The safest building that you can see within the area is probably a doctors office that is about a block away and its one story high, so there is a slim chance that no monsters could be in there. Do you want to travel to that building, or search for different types of buildings?

Nothing from this bunch, but you dropped a few pens in the last room. You could go back and store them in your bottle or just keep advancing.

I cover the lantern a little so I can see, but if anything is at the end, it can't see me. I move slowly to about 4 ft. away from the end of the hall.

You go back, and collect the pens. A gust of wind startles you, and it makes the door to the next room open and close by itself.

You slowly walk the silent streets as the moonlight shines directly in the path you walk. You come up to the doctors office, and you peek inside the glass doors. You see no movement at all. You can hear some monsters in the distance, screeching their heads off. You enter the office, and you shut the door behind you and barricade it with two comfortable-looking chairs. you check the front desk, the waiting room, and the office behind the front desk.

The items you've found:

Morphine
2 white unknown pills, un-packaged
Glass of water (Looks gross, something is floating around in it)
Silver Ring
3 shots of adrenaline (When used, you become extra cautious and observant + you gain strength, speed, and good reactions)

Looks like the place has already been robbed of everything else.
