Your hands reach out blindly seeking the lamp that sits on the bedside table. *click* You flick the switch again *click* *click* but nothing happens. The storm must have blown out the power.

<<audio HideTestSound stop>> <<audio HideTestTryAgainSound stop>> <<audio HideTestPassSound play>> You hide underneath your covers. Curling your body into a tight ball.

You stay here until your breathing evens out and you begin to realize that you've been a bit silly, hiding from the dark like that. Nonetheless you know you'll never be able to fall back asleep in this state. You poke your head back out from under the covers, but everything is still black as pitch.

You slowly make your way over to the other side of the room arms again outstretched. Your fingers brush against fabric, and you urgently grasp at it, pulling. *swish* Moonlight floods the small room as the curtains give way, revealing rainsoaked windowpanes. *rain sounds* The light offers some relief, but your pulse continues to rip through your chest in jagged and uneven patterns. You need to get this under control. You turn towards your mirror and stare into your wide-eyed reflection. "Just relax, there's nothing to be afraid of." Messy and unbrushed hair frames your frightened face and kitty cat patterned pajamas cling to your damp skin. A chill creeps into your bones and you shiver.

The dim light from the moon does little to calm you. You reach for your lamp once again... *click* but it stays dark and the storm continues to howl outside your window. Sitting in bed, scared and alone, all night long isn't going to make anything better. You need to get up and do something to make yourself feel okay again.

<<audio TutorialEndSound stop>> <<audio ControlsReminderSound stop>> <<audio TheGameBeginsSound play>> Slowly you stand up and take a deep breath. The thought of leaving the safety of your room sends a thrill of terror shooting up your spine. But your mom's hoodie almost feels like having her arms wrapped around you and you feel braver. You take slow and determined steps, covering the distance from your bed to the door far too quickly. Your small hand reaches out and seizes the handle. You pause. Should you head downstairs to the kitchen to get a glass of water? or Head to the bathroom to wash the cold sweat from your brow? [[head to kitchen]] [[head to bathroom]]

<<audio TheGameBeginsSound stop>> <<audio HeadToKitchenSound play>> <<audio RainBackground volume 0.3 fadeoverto 75 0.1>> <<audio WindSound volume 0.2 fadeoverto 75 0.05>> Maybe you were screaming in you sleep, because your throat seems to burn. A glass of cold water is just the thing you need. You step out into the hallway, careful to close your door behind you. The hallway is darker and the sounds of the storm seem muffled so far away from any windows. You begin to take small and careful steps headin left towards the staircase. your stomach dips horribly as your foot catches nothing but empty air and you balance precariously on one leg. *Thud* you land hard on the first step but manage to grab the railing to steady yourself. You have to pry your white knickled grip away from the railing and take a deep breath *breathing noise* before you can continue downwards. You head downstairs and each step creaks under your weight causing you to winse. You REALLY hope you don't wake anyone up tonight.

<<audio TheGameBeginsSound stop>> <<audio HeadToBathroomSound play>> <<audio RainBackground volume 0.3 fadeoverto 75 0.1>> <<audio WindSound volume 0.2 fadeoverto 75 0.05>> The sticky feeling of your hair clinging to your face and neck overwhelms your thirst as you slowly turn the handle. The door screeches open, protesting against the warped wooden floor. "why did your mom insist on moving to this old house! You were perfectly happy in your old one... at least you used to be" You peak your head out into the dark hallway, swinging your head left and then right towards the bathroom. There are no windows here and the light leaking from your bedroom window dissapates mere feet from your doorway. The sounds of the storm fade as you progress deeper into the passage. You place your hand on the wall to your right, letting it guide you *brushing sound* until you feel the edge of the bathroom door. [[enter the bathroom]] <<timed 65s>><<goto "enter the bathroom">><</timed>>

<<audio HeadToBathroomSound stop>> <<audio EnterTheBathroomSound play>> <<audio RainBackground volume 0.1 fadeoverto 10 0.3>> <<audio WindSound volume 0.05 fadeoverto 10 0.2>> The door opens easily, *soft creak* pupils constricting as you blink rapidly from the sudden brilliance. After the blackness of the hall the light from the small window seems harsh. You walk inside pulling the door shut behind you *soft creak*... wishing it could lock. You stare between the sink and the large clawfoot tub. You wonder if you should simply wash your face or descide to take a long hot shower instead. [[wash face]] [[take shower]]

<<audio WashFaceSound stop>> <<audio BathroomHideSuccessSound play>> You dive behind the shower curtain and sink down into the tub, wrapping your arms tightly around your knees. The door opens slowly and a large shadowy shape looms against the curtain like a grotesque shadow puppet. *monster snuffling growling sounds* You hold your breath but your heart hammers against your chest so hard you're sure that thing can hear it. "calm down, calm down! Keep holding your breath for" "One" "Two" "Three" "Four" The outline of a clawed hand with inhumanly long fingers presses into the filmy curtain, pushing towards you. Closer and closer to where you sit compressing yourself into a tight ball of utter *crash* *Thunk Thunk Thunk* (Getting further away) The hand rips away, bringing the curtain crashing down after it. And you look up just in time to see the flash of a large... something... running off towards whatever had disturbed the silence.

<<audio RunningAudio stop>> <<audio RunToTheBedroomSuccessSound play>> You fly out of the bathroom and into the hallway smacking *smacking sound* into the opposite wall in your desperate attemps to flee this hellish scene. You reach your room and slam the door shut behind you, relief an overwhelming sensation as you LOCK YOUR DOOR. You scan your room, but it's small and there's nowhere to hide inside of it. But that measly lock isn't enough and you begin to push and shove and pile everything you own in front of it. *crashing shoving scraping piling sounds* Exausted you fall back onto your bed, the only thing you weren't strong enough to move. You lay there as the adrenlaine flees your system leaving you cold and completely exausted. Your eyes flutter as you fight to stay conscious, but soon they become to heavy and you fall into unconsciousness. [[the next day]] <<timed 61s>><<goto "the next day">><</timed>>

<<audio RunToTheBedroomSuccessSound stop>> <<audio TheNextDaySound play>> "Honey wake up your mother has breakfast on the table!" You blink your eyes open and bright morning light, unimpeded by blackout curtains illuminates the alarming wreckage of your room. Fuzzy, terror tinged memories float to the surface... but they must have been an nightmare? An ovverreaction to the storm? In the daylight it all seems so implausible. You manage to shift your belongings just enough to squeeze through the door. As you walk downstairs the smell of pancakes makes your mouth water. "hey mom" you call out in a horse voice. "Hey sweetie" two voices answer in perfect unison and you roll your eyes at the cheesy response. You sit down at the table and a heaping pile of pancakes lands right in front of you. You look up and are met with... an apologetic grimace? Your mom slams down her paper and stares daggers... at the woman who just made us a delicious breakfast? Confused you look back and forth between them wondering if you're somehow in trouble for all the mess you made last night. You figure you better enjoy the good day while it lasts and bury the memories of last night in bite after wonderful bite of blueberry pancakes.

<<audio EnterTheBathroomSound stop>> <<audio WashFaceSound play>> You turn to the sink, twisting the knob on the rusty faucet. The water from the tap runs cold, *water running sound* but the bracing feel of it wakes up your senses as you rinse your face clean. Your face is buried in the soft folds of a fluffy towel when you hear it. *thunk thunk thunk* "what is that?" *thunk thunk* (getting louder) A terrified exhalation of air hissis through your teeth because that sound is getting closer! *thunk* (very loud) The sound grows louder and louder and then stops... *door rattling sound* You stare in abject horror as the bathroom handle begins to turn *hide!* [[bathroom hide success]] [[bathroom hide fail]] <<timed 45s>><<goto "bathroom hide fail">><</timed>>

You reach up to push the window open so the steam doesn't fill the small room and then strip off your pajamas before eagerly stepping into the tub to let the hot water wash the tight coils from your muscles. Your not sure how long you've been standing there when a dark shape comes rushing at you *rushing fluttering sounds* Ahhhhh *crouch!* [[bathroom duck pass]] [[bathroom duck fail]] <<timed 49s>><<goto "bathroom duck fail">><</timed>>

<<audio BathroomDuckFailSound stop>> <<audio BathroomDuckPassSound play volume 0.9>> <<audio TakeShowerSound stop>> You flatten your body against the smooth porcelin tub bracing for impact. Light fluttering sounds rush above your head and you slowly look up in confusion. A small black shape moves in tight spastic circles above your head... it... it's just a bat. You quickly wrap yourself in a towel and head back towards your room, hoping the small creature will simply leave the way it came. That wasn't the relaxing experience you were hoping for, but your skin feels clean not clammy as you crawl underneath your covers and sleep soon overwhelms you [[ending 2]] <<timed 46s>><<goto "ending 2">><</timed>>

<<audio TakeShowerSound stop>> <<audio BathroomDuckFailSound play>> A black fluttering shape barrels straight at your through the steamy air. Panicked you shriek and twist away from it, but the wet porcelin of the tub becomes slick underneath feet that become unstable beneath you. The world tilts on it's access as you crash sideways. A sharp slicing pain exploades behind your eyes and a black tunnel begins to eclipse your vision until you see nothing at all.

The sounds of the storm become loud again and switling shadows dance eerily on the walls as moonlight trickles down throught the trees that sway and bow in the harsh wind. You have to stand on your tip toes to reach the water glasses in the cabinet, but manage to bring one down without breaking anything. Turning to the sink you fill up the small glass *water rushing sound* and drink greedly until the final drop slides out onto your tongue. You fill the glass a second time, but take only small slow sips of this one. You turn, leaning back against the counter, mesmarized by the swirling vortex of shadows. Your stomach rumbles and you glance towards the refridgerator to your left... tempting. You ponder if you should prepare a late night snack... or be responsible and return to your room. [[get snack]] [[return to bedroom]]

<<audio EnterTheKitchenSound stop>> <<audio GetSnackSound play>> compelled by hunger you pull open the door to the refridgerator. The dark space is still cold, but you hope the power returns before things begin to spoil. You grab an apple from the bottom shelf and quickly shut the door to keep as much cool air in as possible.
