...ther and the ceiling seems to tilt dangerously to one side. All of your belongings are gone- the elemental table poster, the model trains, the desk and laptop, they're all gone. In one misshapen corner is a filthy mattress covered in a layer of thick black hairs. There's a rickety table just next to the mattress.  Instead of a lamp, a single black stub of a candle is balanced on a tarnished brass candle holder.  Everything is gray.  Even the black is not quite black.  There is no color anywhere except for you.

Your pajamas were flannel when you went to bed... but now they are printed with joyful red sailboats sailing on a curly blue ocean.

Something's happend. Something bad.

Before you can plan your escape you hear a thump.  Thump.  THUMP.  The door which was a plain and lifeless gray, just like everything else, is creaking open.  Your heart rises into your throat as your great escape is interrupted.

The situation worsens.

Uh oh. No one's written this branch yet. :o
