...h to a flame it entices you drawing closer and closer.

As you approach the light, the flame flickers casting its pitiful glow over a pistol.  You recognise it.  It is an exact copy of the 9mm pistol your dad used to have when he was in the army.  You bend down and examine it as the scent of the gun oil wafts into your nostrils provoking childhood memories of your dad.  You check the barrel and a sole bullet is in the weapon.

Suddenly the candle goes out and the room is awash with bright light, your eyes struggle to adjust when a sharp shrill scream to your left grabs your attention.  Its your mum.  She is struggling, a man is attacking her, you raise the pistol and take aim just as another scream takes your attention away.

It's your wife.  She is being attacked by another man, he's trying to rape her.  You have no idea what is going on, you hope its a bad dream and that you'll wake up at any minute, but you don't....

Do you save your wife?

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

Author Guidance for this Story

nickb This, along with "Wheeeeel ooooof pooouuultry!" and "What's with all the feathers?!", was one of the three (!) stories I had on my original CYOA site back in 1999.

It's here mainly for nostalgia's sake, but it generated some pretty curious follow-ups the first time, so I thought I'd give it another go-round and see what mayhem it creates here.
