You stand in the kitchen, the morning sun casts an orange glow as you fill your canteen in the sink. The sun is already out, you know that you should get going. Your wife sits on the couch across the room, as your daughter plays with some toys on the ground. [[Talk to daughter.]] [[Talk to wife.]] [[Look around house.]] [[Look out the window.]]

You walk to the door and add your canteen to your bag. Your daughter follows you and turn and give her a big hug, you feel her hands grab onto your shirt. "I won't be long I promise," you tell her. As you both let go you see that your wife is now standing next to you, she puts and hand on your shoulder. "I know you can do this, but it was always difficult even when it was both of us" she reminds you. You embrace her, "Please don't worry too much, I will be careful and we need this, we can't go much longer with out power". You feel her nod her head. You rub her back and kiss her goodbye. Pulling back, you turn to your daughter and kiss her on the forehead. [[You pick up your bag, and head out the door. ]]

As you approach the river bank, your horse seems to be nervous. The water seems shallow enough to cross, yet the current is pretty strong. You notice a fallen tree that rests on the opposite bank. [[Try to cross the river on your horse.]] [[Leave your horse and try to cross using the fallen tree. ]]

Getting off your horse, you set down your supplies and make a small fire on the bank. You lean against a rock next the fire, comforted by its warmth. Your eyes slowly close as you fall asleep. [[You sleep for a while, until something startles you awake. ]]

On your way up the mountain, you see a stream. [[stop at stream]] [[Stay on the trail. ]]

It is now dusk and its beginning to be too dark to see the other side of the river. [[Continue in the dark. ]] [[Stop and sleep.]]

You coax your horse forward as it steps into the water. You are noticing the strength of the current, when suddenly your horse loses it footing and you both go under. Now off of your hourse you frantically swim towards the other side of the river. [[Try to grab something. ]]

You mount your horse and head down the faint path that leads to a river to the East. To the Northeast sits the mountains and just past that, the city. You hope that you be able to scavange some old solar panels from the buildings on the outskirts. [[Head to mountains.]] [[Head to river.]]

[[You slowly make your way to the other side of the bank, using the branches to pull yourself forward. ]]

Walking out onto the porch, you look out at the dusty path, some patches of grass still poke through the dirt. With your bag over your shoulder you walk to the one of thse patches of grass at the side of the house. There stands a dark grey horse, turning around you lift a leather saddle off of the porch railing and place it on his back. [[Once all of the equipment is on him and your supplies are secure, you are ready to leave.]]

Finding a crack in the rocks you discover a cave. [[enter cave]]

As you ride towards the mountain, the landscape feels so lonely. You haven't seen other people, other than your family, for 30 years. Ever since Earth was evacuated in 3000. There must be others out there, like minded people that couldn't leave thier home. You think about this, but it makes you feel melancholy. [[You think about the mountain instead. ]]

You continue down the river, looking for a part of the river that would be safest to cross. Ahead, you can see a thin part of the river, though it will still be difficult to cross. [[Ride up to the river's bank. ]]

As you ride towards the river, the landscape feels so lonely. You haven't seen people, other than your family, for 30 years. Ever since Earth was evacuated in 3000.

As you approach the river bank, your horse seems to be nervous. The water seems shallow enough to cross, yet the current seems to be pretty strong. You notice a fallen tree that rests on the opposite bank. [[Try to cross with your horse.]] [[Leave your horse and try to use the tree to cross.]]

You open your eyes to find that you are surrounded by a pack of wolves. Your horse is no where to be seen, you hope that he has made it away safely. One in front of you starts to approach crouched low to the ground. [[Grab supplies.]]

You pat your horse and tell him to head home, he should be able to make his way back. You wade into the water slightly upstream, when suddenly you feel the pull of the current knock your legs out from under you. [[You are pulled past the branches of the tree, as you grab blindly in the dark. ]]

You take a moment to catch your breadth, as you take off your bag and lay on the bank. looking up at the sky you realize that it is already dusk. You should find somewhere to sleep. You know of a cave nearby that could provide shelter. [[Make your way towards the cave.]]

Stopping at the stream you get off your horse and take a moment to rest. [[admire view]] [[drink water]] [[feed horse]]

You refill your canteen before you mount your horse and head back on the trail. You pass large rocks, some seem to have fallen or shifted since you were last here. [[The trail stops, there is a ledge above you.]]

Laying on the bank, you awake to the sun on your face. It is noon. [[Get up and walk back up river.]]

You look at your daughter as she plays with a wooden trainset near your feet. She looks up at you, "How long do you think it will take this time?" You take in a breadth, thinking, "A week, tops. I promise." She gives a faint frown and you lean down and pet her head "Don't worry I'll be back before you know it." The look in her eyes makes your stomach turn. [[back->You stand in the kitchen.]] [[You have all of your supplies, it's time to leave.]]

Now closer to the bank, you blindly grab for the branches of the tree in the dark. You manage to grab onto one, as you look back around for your horse you can see very little in the darkness, but you know your horse is gone. You pull yourself across, grabbing onto the branches of the fallen tree. [[You pass out on the bank, exhausted.]]

You look over to your wife, who is looking back at you. You know she is upset. You two would usually go togehter, but now that you have a child only one of you can leave. "Please be careful, and try not to roam around the city." her voice is heavy with worry. "Of course" you say with a nod. [[back->You stand in the kitchen.]] [[You have all of your supplies, it's time to leave.]]

You are at the mercy of the current as you try to swim towards the opposite bank. [[You grab hold of a rock and pull yourself onto the bank.]]

Pain and fear overwhelm you as you are ripped apart. This is the end.

You turn away from the wolves and jump off the bank and into the water. Your jump puts you close to a fallen tree. You pull yourself across, grabbing onto the branches of the fallen tree. [[You pass out on the bank, exhausted.]]

You have been taken downstream pretty far. [[You pass out on the bank, exhausted.]]

You take out your knife and swing it in the direction of the beasts. One seems to flinch but the small knife doesn't add much of an advantage against five wolves. The one in front of you lunges forward. [[You can't react]]

Now closer to the bank, you can see that some of the branches from the fallen tree are close enough for you to grab onto. You grab on now able to look around you. Your horse is gone. [[You slowly make your way to the other side of the bank, using the branches to pull yourself forward. ]]

You quickly grab your bag. [[Try to attack the wolves with your knife.]] [[Try to cross the river.]]

You cup your hand and drink some water from the stream, it is cool and refreshing. [[back->stop at stream]] [[continue on trail]]

You take out an apple and feed it to your horse, he seems to be pleased. [[back->stop at stream]] [[continue on trail]]

Now higher up, you can see across the landscape before you. The dusty plain that you came from contrasts the lush environment of the mountain. [[back->stop at stream]] [[continue on trail]]

Looking around the room, the objects are quite eclectic. Scavanged antiques and furniture sit around the room. The house was built in the 2050's, but it still holds up pretty well and hasn't needed much work. You are quite proud of finding such a place. [[You stand in the kitchen.]] [[You have all of your supplies, it's time to leave.]]

[[you let the wolf enter building with you]]

[[you interact with it lovingly ]] [[do nothing as it follows]] [[you shoo wolf away ]]

Staying low, you put out your torch and keep an eye on the wolves. If you can get to the treeline ahead of you, the trail should be nearby. [[Suddenly something jumps out, in front of you.]]

[[it kills you ]]

You noiselessly pass the wolves and disapear into the trees. If you remember correctly, the city should be just ahead. [[You look over the top of the ridge and see a building.]]

[[you let the wolf enter building with you]]

[[you and the wolf enter building]]

[[find building with solar panels ]]

[[wolf is watching you]]

[[you feel bad but the city is close and its getting dark]]

With torch in hand, you approach the three wolves and swing it back and forth. [[Hitting one on the nose, it retreats and the other two follow.]]

[[it is harmless]] [[it is hunting you]]

[[it becomes defensive ]]

[[admire landscape]] [[admire wolf]] [[reflect on the past]]

As you walk along the river, you watch the sun sink lower in the sky. You should find somewhere to sleep. You remember a cave nearby that could provide shelter. [[Make your way towards the cave.]]

As you enter the cave, you notice a draft coming from the narrow tunnel ahead of you. Using your supplies you light a torch and follow the tunnel. [[There must be another exit.]]

[[You place your foot on the loose rock, it falls pinning your leg between it and the surrounding rock.]]

The rocks seem to be unstable and climbing them is too risky. [[Try to find another way around]]

[[You take off your bag.]]

Approching the cave, it seems to be a good enough shelter. You remember having been here years ago, hopefully no animals have decided to made it their home. You crouch to enter the cave and once inside, it seems to be empty and it doesn't smell like any animals have been living here. [[Set down your supplies and sleep.]]

Opening it, you frantically check to see if there is anything you can use to pry the rock off or move your leg but it is hopeless. You look down to your horse below you and accept that this is the end.

The sunlight welcomes you, as you lower your torch. Suddenly you hear awful noises near the cave's exit. [[You slowly step out of the cave. ]]

You awake to the sun creeping through the narrow opening of the cave. As you pack your things you notice that the cave continues, and you feel a draft coming from the tunnel. Using your supplies you light a torch and follow the tunnel until daylight appears again. [[You can see the exit.]]

Eventually, you see daylight. [[You can see the exit.]]

The noise is coming from a pack of wolves that seem to be acting violently with each other. [[You notice that they are attacking another wolf.]]

[[Try to help the wolf that is being attacked ]] [[Try to get back on the trail. ]] [[Try to avoid the wolves. ]]

[[you decide to catch a rabbit using a snare]]

[[pass cave and dried blood]]

You watch them as they disappear into the treeline. [[You approach the hurt wolf.]]

It's a deer. You watch as the wolves get distracted by the deer and run off leaving the other wolf laying on the ground. [[You turn away and continue down the path.]] [[You approach the hurt wolf.]]

As you walk up to the creature, it seems to be in bad shape but it seems as though he will recover. You wonder why the other wolves were attacking it. Ever since the other humans left, you have noticed that animals can act strangely. Maybe they know they are living on a dying world too. You now stand above the wolf. [[Pet it.]] [[You leave food on the ground.]] [[You tend to its wounds.]]

Looking at its sides, it looks as though it suffered from bites on its stomache. Reaching into your back you retrieve a cloth and medicine and treat his wounds. [[You decide to rest, but you keep your distance.]] [[back->You approach the hurt wolf.]]

[[you feel bad but the city is close and its getting dark]]

Though the animal is still unconscious, you leave some rabbit meat by its face. You hope that if it sees this it won't be too hungry and attack you instead. [[back->You approach the hurt wolf.]] [[You decide to rest, but you keep your distance.]]

You know that petting the animal could be dangerous, however, it seems to be unconcious and you see something in this pitiful creature that reminds you of a dog you had long ago. [[back->You approach the hurt wolf.]] [[You decide to rest, but you keep your distance.]]

You walk away from the wolf and sit down, leaning against your bag. [[You try to keep your eyes open but they close on their own. ]]

leaving the tree line, you walk out into the open. [[it feels like you are being watched]] ------------------ END OF DEMO ------------------

You being to walk away and notice that the wolf is following you. He calmly trots behind you like a puppy.You decide to let it, but you make sure your knife is ready in case you need it. [[Climbing over a ridge you can see the city in the distance. ]]

Below you is a large cement buliding, you can see the blue shine of the solar panels that line its roof. [[Make your way down to the building.]] ------------------ END OF DEMO ------------------

[[the wolf keeps stalking you ]]

You watch as a small pile of dust outside swirls into a small tornado, leaving a faint cloud hanging in the air. Its been 10 years since you last had to go into the city. Fortunately these solar panels lasted longer then the ones before. However, you figure you'll want to get more so you won't have to do this again, for a long time. [[You stand in the kitchen.]] [[You have all of your supplies, it's time to leave.]]

You pass large rocks, some seem to have fallen or shifted since you were last here. [[The trail stops, there is a ledge above you.]]

[[Climb rock to reach ledge]] [[Try to find another way around]]

You try to pull yourself up on a rock to reach the ledge. As you climb up a little bit more, you feel one of the rocks shift. [[Give up.]] [[Keep climbing.]]
