Damn, you cannot find your scissors, and the art project is due tomorrow. Brother usually has a pair.
[[Go visit brother|Outside your brother's bedroom]]You are standing outside of brother's bedroom.
His door is bland, he usually doesn't decorate much.
[[knock|Knock]]
[[enter without knocking|Inside brother's bedroom]]
You knock.
"Are you in there, brother?"
No response.
The brat. He must be out.
[[enter|Inside brother's bedroom]]You slowly peer inside.
Brother is not there.
The floor is a mess.
Boys will be boys I suppose. Although brother usually tries to be a bit tidier than the others.
Alright, time to find the scissors.

(set: $desk to "no")

(set: $floor to "no"){
(set: $desk to "yes")

Just scraps of paper with weird symbols. No scissors here.

Brother tends to lean on the bookish side.
He reads some strange books; MONSTERS of the deep, Lovecraft, The Tale of the Twinheaded Man.
There are, however, no scissors here.

Paper and scraps of food litter the floor. Piles of dirty old clothes are strewn everywhere creating an intricate maze for you to manoeuvre. You swear there is a pile half the size of you. Even his swivel chair is missing a wheel, and lies toppled on the floor like a passed-out drunkard.
A cursory look reveals no scissors. Unless they are under the clothes, then you don't want them anyway.

You know brother keeps mostly clothes there, but he also has a box of nicknacks underneath.
[[You reach out for the closet.|Shuffling]]
*A clothes pile shuffles*
You stop your arm midway to the handle.
[[Look at pile|Look at]]*It wriggles*
[[Reach out and touch it|Brothersurprise]]Boo!
Brother jumps out.
You fall back, shocked.
"Got ya good, sis!" he says, naggling his finger.
"You idiot!! You almost gave me a heart attack."
"Hahaha should have seen the look on your face."
You give him a stern glare.
[[Stand up and tidy your clothes|Tidy]]"Don't do that again." you murmur.
"No promises" he says, grinning.
"Oh, and by the way, where are mum and dad?"
"They should be at Aunt Penny's. To help--" you state.
"Great!" he interrupts, smiling. He grabs a jacket and stumbles out of the door.
[[Give an exasperated sigh.. | Sigh]]You head out to follow him when you remember..
The scissors!
[[Go to the closet|closet]]The closet door tries to avoid your gaze.
[[Grab the door handle|Opening closet]]The handle is uncomfortably cold.
[[Pull open the closet door.|Opening closet II]]
Inside you find the remains of Brother, He hangs from hooks on the ceiling. His skin stripped away from him. He has distinctive cuts everyone.
He is still alive.
He is making gargling noises.
His eyes are wide with horror. They are directed behind you.
[[Scream|scream]]
[[Turn around|Turned]]*It ''gurgles''*
You start shaking.
[[Inspect Pile|Surprise!]]You see... something deformed.
[[The world turns black]]You wake up in your closet. You catch a glimpse of yourself staggering away.

(By Kane Williams, for #BiteSizedHorrorJam)]Your scream penetrates the air like a bullet. A warm sensation envelops your neck.
