It's a beautifully crips fall night. You decide to head out to the woods for some much needed alone time in nature. As the full moon starts to rise, you stare into the fire to contemplate the direction of your life. Once the darkness falls over the woods, you start to wonder what you should do next. Do you [[stay put and get some rest-> stay put]], [[start to head home-> head home]], or [[try to build some shelter-> shelter]]?

(set: $keepGoing to false)You let the warmth of the fire lull you to sleep against the sturdy, comforting tree. You drift off with the peaceful content of your reflections on your life. [[next -> next]]

Armfuls of branches later, you've got a sizable collection, yet you need just a few more. The immediate surrounding area has been stripped bare, so you start to venture farther than the fire illuminates. You wait for your eyes to adjust before scouring the ground for more fallen branches. You hear a noise in the woods. It must be nothing... until you hear it again. Do you want to [[find this last branch -> wolf]] or [[head back to camp-> back to camp]]?You wake up feeling warm, far warmer than it should be for an autumn night. You sleepily open your eyes and see the roaring glow of the fire surrounding you. Panic starts to set in. Quickly, you scan the surrounding area. Should you [[jump in the lake -> lake]] or try to [[find your way out -> find way out]]?

</div>You jump into the freezing cold lake and it's an instant shock. You just hope the fire will die down, but it roars as you shiver in the water. It's too cold, even for you. The smoke continues to dominate the air; each breath you breathe is thicker than the last. You start to grow drowsy and eventually pass out.
<h2>YOU DIE BY SUFFOCATION</h2>

[[restart story here->Intro]]Desperate to find a way out, you try to find the path of least resistance. There seems to be a small gap that hasn't yet caught fire and you start running full speed dodging and weaving the fire. As soon as you find a small parcel that hasn't completely gone up yet, you take a few thick breaths. You start to worry this was the wrong choice. Eyes darting back and forth, trying to find a new spot to run, you neglect to look up. A huge burning branch falls from seemingly nowhere, crushing you in the process. You're pinned to the ground, fighting for your life. The fire erupts around you and slowly closes in as you struggle to remove the branch. It's too late.

[[restart story here->Intro]]You stick it out, searching for this last branch to hold it all together. This noise gets louder and louder, almost like it's coming closer. Uhhh... are you sure you want to [[find this branch -> find this branch]] or should you just [[head back to camp -> back to camp]].
(set:$wolf to true)(if: $wolf is true)[Wow those were some weird noises. I'm glad you left! ]Now that you're back to camp do you want to [[stay put -> stay put]] or [[head home-> head home]]?Alright, where the hell is this damn branch. As you finally spot one and head over to retrieve it, you feel something behind you. Almost like a breath. You turn slower than you thought possible, only to be face to face with a wolf. But it's... standing? You start to back up slowly, and it matches your gait. You back into a tree and it just stares at you with wide eyes. It turns its head to the full glowing moon, and howls. Stunned, you stand paralyzed as it throws its claws down and shreds you instantly.

You put out the fire and start to head home. The full moon provides a decent amount of light, so you're able to see where you're stepping. Maybe not where you're going though. You could've sworn that you had gone this way or was it... that way? You walk until the sun comes up. Yup, you're sufficiently lost... and sufficiently hungry. You can feel your stomach growling. In the distance you see a mushroom. It looks like ones you've eaten before... but maybe not?? Do you want to [[eat the mushroom ->eat mushroom]] or [[keep wandering hungry-> hungry wander]]?Ughhhhh. You've been walking for what seems like forever. Your stomach growls and the pain causes you to stumble. How could you forget to pack food? None of this looks familiar. Except... maybe that mushroom? Do you want to [[keep going -> keep-going]] or [[eat mushroom->eat mushroom]]?(if: $keepGoing is true)[You manage to crawl to the mushroom. You pick it up and check it out.] (else:)[You pick up the mushroom and check it out.] It looks good enough, like ones you've had before. Your stomach keeps growling. Is it worth it? Should you just (if: $keepGoing is true)[[[stay put->stay put]]] (else:) [[[keep wandering -> hungry wander]]] or are you gonna(link-goto: "eat the mushroom", (either: "edible", "poison", "psychedelic"))?You tentatively munch on the mushroom. Not the best tasting thing you've ever eaten, but at least it'll tide the hunger cravings, *for now*. You continue on your journey, hoping to find something that resembles what you've seen before. Wait!! That brooke looks familiar. Do you want to [[follow the brooke -> brooke]] or [[keep the path-> hungry wander]]?Uh oh. You're not really feeling so good. Like really not feeling good. Everything is get woozy. You're bouncing from tree to tree barely able to see what's in front of you, let alone stand up. You fall to your knees in excruciating pain. Why did you eat that freaking mushroom!! You begin to pass out, but not before you feel yourself throw up. Everything goes dark.

[[restart story here->Intro]]Woahhhh.. That mushroom.... I mean.... Woahhhh....
That mushroom, man, it must have been, like, magic or something, like, everything looks so pretty and vibrant, like, the rainbow man, everything's like the rainbow dude. Dude it's like, so surreal, but like, is it real? Are we real? Aliens man... we're just aliens dude... I mean, bro, if there are aliens, then we're like... aliens to the aliens bro. Wow.
Yeah so you're like, tripping pretty hard from that mushroom and everything seems so beautiful. You don't even remember that you're hungry. But... what's that??? oh no.
Are you gonna [[focus on the "oh no"]] or [[focus on the "hell yeah"]]?Holy cow!! Yes!! This does look familiar. You continue to follow the brooke until.. AT LAST! Civilization!! And your car! You hop in your car and head to a diner. Time for the meal of a lifetime:)
<h2>Congrats, YOU LIVE!</h2>
You try to keep going but it's just too much. Your body is giving up on you. You can either (link-goto: "crawl towards the mushroom", (either: "can't crawl", "eat mushroom")) or [[stay put]].
(set:$keepGoing to true)
Oh no, oh shit oh shit what's that? What the hell is happening? Where am I? What's going on?? What's happening?? Are you seriously lost in the woods right now?? This can't be happening, this can't be happening. I'm so young. There's so much to live for, there's so much you haven't done yet. What's going on?? Oh my god I'm dying. NO!! I'm actually dead. This is hell. You're in hell. You're dying, you died, this is hell, and you're gonna be stuck in the woods forever. Oh shit on no, (link-goto: "what the hell is happening??", (either: "out of the woods", "lost and deadly"))Hell fuckin yeah!! This shit's awesome. This is the coolest feeling ever. Everything is so vibrant and pretty and beautiful. The trees!! These happy little trees. WOW. Stunning. Nature, the water, the sounds, the babbling brooke. It's all so beautiful. Hey!! Wait, that brooke looks kinda familiar. You follow the stream like it's flowing through you too. You wade on the rocks, and skip over fallen branches. Eventually, the water leads you to where you started. The car!! You hop in and drive to the closest diner. The food tastes amazing. All is well. What a great trip:)

Oh shit. You're lost as hell. Where the f*ck are you? What's happening?? Why is everything so spooky and scary?? You're paranoid as hell and you have no idea what's up and what's down. You're tripping hard, you're lost, you're scared, and you just want to go home. You sit on a rock and proceed to cry for what feels like hours. You feel so weak, like you can't go on. You lie down on the rock and stare at the sky for an eternity. Watching the sky change you eventually just get up and start running full speed ahead. Your mind is playing tricks on you, rocks and trees in different places, everythings moving left and right, up and down. You end up running straight into a bear trap. Could this trip get any worse? You try calling for help, but it's no use. You eventually pass out from blood loss.

[[restart story here->Intro]]You come stumbling out of the woods rambling to yourself, not even realizing that you've escaped the forest. You've made it, but you're just in your own bad trip. An onlooker tries to ask if you're okay, and you take that as a threat. What are they speaking some other language (they're not)? You start to get aggressive and fight them. They call the cops and eventually you're sedated and treated for dehydration in the hospital.
