You feel sad to have lost Gary. You try petting other rocks, but it’s not the same. You will miss Gary.\n\nThe End

<<nobr>><<display 'gary box'>>\nIt only takes a few days for the elder god to completely destroy your world. Oops. You feel guilty, but petting Gary in the rubble of your apartment still feels good.<<endnobr>>\n\nThe End.

<<display 'gary box'>>It doesn’t matter! You are now the proud new owner of a Pet Rock and it isn’t going anywhere. Oh, I almost forgot: your Pet Rock already has a name. It’s name is Gary. Yes, really. And no, you cannot change it. What if Gary wanted to change your name? How would you feel?\n\n[[(continue)|Intro.3]]

An elder god appears in the hole, which is odd, because you were pretty sure Lovecraft was making all that stuff up.
