'Stranded'

[veryweirdguy]

Your car has broken down on the highway, at least 100 miles from the nearest town. There is a payphone next to you, and there appears to be a wooden shack by the roadside in the distance.

You are currently carrying: your wallet, a mobile phone (with no signal available), chewing gum, car key.

What do you do?

[WHAM]

I kick the car and vent my frustration

Your knee hurts considerably and there is no effect on the car. You immediately regret your action.

Call the motoring organisation with a coin from your wallet and chew the gum while waiting for them to arrive. You might also walk to the shed, find hens and eggs there and make you some nice fried eggs on your vehicle grill.

"Hello, is that the motoring organisation?"

"Speak up, I can't hear you."

"Oh sorry, I'm chewing gum. My car broke, can you help?"

"Sure, we'll send someone over. Can you tell us your loca-*BZZZZZT* I'm sorry, the area you are trying to reach is restricted. You need higher clearance. *DIAL TONE*"

"...Hello?"

You don't know what's in the shack yet. Looks like a fair walk away.

Wait for a passing motorist to pull over and see if they can tow my car to the nearest town/garage/gas station.

No one passes. Could be a while.

You're starting to get hungry.

Hitch a ride with a truck driver who has a big mustache.

Try as you might, you can not conjure a truck driver to drive past, regardless of facial hair.

Go to that wooden shack by the roadside in the distance where you'll find a horse and a horse-carriage which has one wheel is broken that you're able to fix with your chewing gum.

You reach the shack, there appears to be no horses, carriages, or spaceships. Your chewing gum lost its taste long ago.

Examine the shack to find ...

[veryweirdguy]

Examine the shack to find ...

Well, this is unfortunate.

There are some papers in the shack. Oh, and a headless body.

There appears to be no food.

(TO BE CONTINUED...)

[Eggie]

Read the papers, rummage through the corpses jacket, anything to delay doing anything sensible like running back to the payphone.

Check your mobile phone if you have signal here.

Edit: This game is fun!

[Tabata]

(TO BE CONTINUED...)

Yes, please!

.... very well done!

[ddq]

Oh I like this. I like this a lot. Very good job, veryweirdguy! Looking forward to the STUNNING CONTINUATION!

[Nikolas]

AWESOME! The 'Dungeon Master' in this case is doing a great job!

[veryweirdguy]

Read the papers,

The rest of the papers are financial reports and statements, you can see the floorboards beneath them now.

rummage through the corpses jacket,

A card was in the jacket pocket, nothing else.

anything to delay doing anything sensible like running back to the payphone.

You try and fail to touch your nose with your tongue.

It's starting to get light outside again.

[veryweirdguy]

Check your mobile phone if you have signal here.

You have 4 bars, but something is blocking your phone access.

You lament the fact you have not upgraded your phone since 2002.
