(set: $Denial to $Denial + 1) As hard as I can, I try to wiggle. Nothing happens, not even a budge. [[There's nothing I can do|end]]

My name is $PlayerName. I don't remember much. Wait, I don't remember anything at all. How did I get here? What is going on? I start to take notice of my surroundings and I can feel myself. I am conscious. I am aware. (click: "I am conscious. I am aware.")[[[I am a rock.|scenario_01]]]

(set: $Denial to $Denial + 1) I tried to scream. But nothing comes out. [[There's nothing I can do|end]]

(set: $Denial to $Denial + 1) I pray and waited. Nothing changes. Does the universe care about me? [[There's nothing more I can do|end]]

(set: $Acceptance to $Acceptance + 1) I am a rock and there is nothing I can do. It is now night time. I do not feel hot anymore, but rather freezing cold.

(set: $Acceptance to $Acceptance + 1) I am a rock and there is nothing I can do. Time passes and it is getting more windy. Is there a storm coming? I can hear the howling getting louder. I am slower going underwater as the rain is now pouring. Sweep by the waters, I can feel myself moving to a new area. "What is my purpose? Why am I here?", I ask myself. <img src="images/rock01.png" alt="rock" width="450" height="322"> What should I do?

(set: $Acceptance to $Acceptance + 1) I am a rock and there is nothing I can do. The storm stops. I am at a new area where there are more shadings than direct sunlight. It is more humid here. Over time, moss is growing on me. "Why am I alive? Am I alive?", I wonder. <img src="images/rock01.png" alt="rock" width="450" height="322"> What should I do?

(set: $Acceptance to $Acceptance + 1) I am a rock with some moss growing on me. The moss attracts insects and other animals. Other things starts growing around me. I am now fully covered in moss. There is also a patch of mushrooms growing on me as well. "How does this end? Does it end?", I wonder. <img src="images/rock01.png" alt="rock" width="450" height="322"> What should I do?

(set: $Acceptance to $Acceptance + 1) I am a rock with moss and mushrooms growing on me. I observe the animals and insects that consumes whatever that's growing on me. I find them fascinating and somehow I am learning more about my surroundings and the world. But yet here I am with even more confusion. "I guess I am not so alone anymore.", I thought. These interactions are keeping me amuse and I almost forgot what I really am. <img src="images/rock01.png" alt="rock" width="450" height="322"> What should I do?

(set: $Acceptance to $Acceptance + 1) I am a rock and I am not alone. The season changes. Hot, warm, cold, wet, dry, windy, and with things growing on me, there are changes happening yet I am still who I am. "Am I just tiny grains of different minerals, compressed together in chemical reaction to form a bigger mass? What am I?", I thought to myself. <img src="images/rock01.png" alt="rock" width="450" height="322"> [[There really is nothing I can do|end]]
