Enfield Monster

It's a Wednesday night and you have just returned from a meeting at your job. You drop your keys on the table at the door and hang your coat, slightly wet from the rain outside. //What do you do next?// [[rummage through your fridge]] [[make yourself a cup of tea to warm up]] [[go shower]] please save game here before proceeding: (link: "save")[(save-game: "file A")]

You don't have much left to eat in your fridge, //What is your choice?// [[sandwich]] [[lasagna]]

You have 3 tea options in your house. //What would you prefer to have tonight?// [[chamomile]] [[peppermint]] [[black tea with milk]]

The rushing water of the shower is too loud, you fail to hear the noises outside until it is too late. You see a strange shadow on your shower curtain. [[...]]

It is too late to react and there is no way to escape. You have died. (link: "restart?")[(load-game: "file A")]

[[Sit down to watch TV]]

You flick through the channels until you find a replay of the recent football game. 15 minutes in you hear something scratching at your front door. //What do you do?// [[Ignore it, it's probably a racoon, it will go away soon]] [[Go to the door, it might be a lost person or a stray cat, you'd want to help them]] [[Find a weapon, whatever's at your door might be dangerous]]

[[Sit down to watch TV]]

You raise the volume on your TV and continue watching the game. The scratching seems to stop. [[....]]

The scratching sound stops when you approach the door. //What do you do?// [[check through the peep hole]] [[open the door]]

You rush over to a cupboard of emergency supplies you keep in the kitchen. Pulling the door open you are greeted with a first aid kit and some weapons. //What will you use to defend yourself?// [[bat]] [[gun]] [[knife]]

A loud crash is heard as your door is broken down, you were not prepared for what you were about to see. A 5ft tall mishapen creature lunges at you, you aren't strong enough to fight off its attack bare handed. You have died. (link: "restart?")[(load-game: "file A")]

The bat has many nails stuck into the top in order for it to cause more damage, you grab it by the handle and head for the front door. Pulling it open you are met with a three legged, humanoid creature. Its flesh is grey and it stares at you with two large angry pink eyes. It lunges and you hit it over the head with the bat, knocking the creature over. While it is down you waste no time hitting it once more when it gets lodged in the skull and you are forced to abandon your weapon. The creature is momentarily down and you have some time to escape. //How do you escape?// [[find a place to hide inside the house]] [[grab your car keys and phone and get in your car]] [[run]]

You grab a loaded gun and prepare to confront the creature at your door. You pull the door back, jumping back to not be in range of the creature's attacks and pull the trigger without a second thought. The first shot has the creature letting out a hiss similar to that of a wildcat; shooting it three more times is enough to injure and scare the creature away. It runs away with a visible limp into the brush. As it retreats you are able to make out more of the details; it ran on three legs with two short arms either side of its short torso and was a greyish colour all over. The creature never returns to your house again but you hear stories from some school children reporting to have seen a creature resembling the one from this night at the school ball park. do you want to play again? (link: "yes")[(load-game: "file A")] [[no]]

After grabbing the largest knife from the shelf you run to the door, pulling it open. You manage to plunge the knife into the creature's shoulder, it falls back momentarily from the pain but it quickly regains its senses and seems to be angrier than before. The knife is stuck inside its grey flesh and you are left without a weapon. Frozen from fear you are helpless to the creatures attack. You have died. (link: "restart?")[(load-game: "file A")]

It is hard to see what stands on the other side of the door, there are no lights outside except the dim glow from the full moon above and the glass distorts the view slightly. You can barely make out a shifting humanoid figure crouched on your doorstep. You think there is no time to lose and spring into action. //What do you do now?// [[hide, you don't think you will be able to fight off whatever is at your door]] [[find a weapon, you think you can fight it off, you wouldn't want it running loose]]

~~Why didn't you check what was waiting for you?~~ A large creature almost your height is standing there ready to jump on you. You are unarmed and are at too close a distance to try running away. You have died. (link: "restart?")[(load-game: "file A")]

Your head spins from the fear, you quickly brainstorm hiding locations. //Where do you hide?// [[under your bed]] [[Inside your wardrobe]] [[Inside the bathtub with the curtain pulled to hide you]]

The bed is just high enough for you to lay flat under, you wriggle your way under and watch as you see the feet of the creature walk through your bedroom door. There are no obstacles covering you from the sight of the creature when it crouches down. You have been spotted. The creature reaches its arm out and pulls you out from under the bed. You have died. (link: "restart?")[(load-game: "file A")]

Your wardrobe is tall, you are able to fit inside comfortably. Shutting the wardrobe doors behind you, you crouch down, arranging the hanging clothes to cover you from sight even if the doors were to be opened. You hear foot steps approaching, the creature searches through your room but does not seem to consider trying the wardrobe. Perhaps it isn't smart enough, despite its almost human shape. You sit inside for what feels like hours until you are certain the creature has left. You leave the safety of your wardrobe, you see the sun is now beginning to rise through the window. Rushing for your phone and car keys that you left on the table at the front door you dial your best friend asking to stay the night where you will then call the police. The creature continues to roam free through the night, sightings being reported along with missing people reports but it is never caught. You move out of town and live a relatively peaceful life. do you want to play again? (link: "yes")[(load-game: "file A")] [[no]]

You get into the bathtub, laying down inside so you leave no shadow on the curtain. However, the curtain is easy to move aside and after some searching the creature finds you. You are trapped, backed up against the bathroom wall. The creature jumps at you. You have died. (link: "restart?")[(load-game: "file A")]

//Where do you hide?// [[under your bed]] [[Inside your wardrobe]] [[Inside the bathtub with the curtain pulled to hide you]]

You get into your car, shutting the door seconds before the creature slams into it as it chases after you. You hit the gas pedal, speeding away as you call the police. You stay over at a friend's house while the police investigate. They are unable to find the creature, tracks in the mud that lead to no where and the busted down door the only evidence left of its existence. The creature roams free and you move away to another town from fear of another encounter. do you want to play again? (link: "yes")[(load-game: "file A")] [[no]]

You feel there is no time to do anything but run. You set your mind on finding the nearest house and asking for them to let you in so you can call the police. You run through the rain, water getting in your eyes and obscuring your vision. However, you are not fast enough and the creature recuperates fast enough to catch up to you before you get to the next house. You have died. (link: "restart?")[(load-game: "file A")]

This is the end of the game
