  The wavebreak is a concrete causeway built over a big long pile of rocks to break the waves coming from the north during wintertime. It protects the little bay to the south, which is nice to swim in when
  the weather is a bit better. The boat shore and the island are to the west, and the pier is to the east.
  
  Gogol sniffs something on the ground.
  
  > examine the boat
  (the small wooden row boat)
  It's a small wooden boat, which still seems to be intact, although it has gathered some rain water and leaves. It hasn't been used in ages.
  
  > Search boat
  (the small wooden row boat)
  The small wooden row boat is empty.
  
  > look at the suitcase
  The rocket man is holding on to a black suitcase which he's trying to keep on his chest and out of the water. It looks kind of heavy, but it must be important!
  
  > remove the vest
  You take off the child size life vest.
  
  > wear the vest
  You put on the child size life vest.
  
  > get man
  He is too far to reach even if you step into the shallow water. Any further and the large waves will push you down and pull you out into the sea!
  
  > examine the water
  It's salty Baltic seawater, churned frothy on the shoreline by the waves.
  
  > look at what you're carrying with you
  You are carrying:
  a white plastic spray can
  an egg timer
  a pasta strainer (being worn)
  a child size life vest (being worn)
  a packet of wieners
  
  > go to the south-west
  The water is a bit too cold for swimming.
  
  > Go west
  The boat shore is actually the innermost nook of the small bay where you swim in the summertime. It's a small nook with some reeds and
  water plants, and a nice gravely sea bottom without any sharp rocks to hurt your bare feet on. The wavebreak protects the bay, so the water
  is usually pretty calm and sometimes it gets really warm in the
  summer. There's a small wooden boat, but nobody has used it in a long time since you can't go to the sea with it, just row around the bay
  and very close to the island.
  
  stretches to the east, towards the mainland. Straight to the west are your mother's rose bushes, that hug the side of the house, but you really don't want to go through them because the thorns are sharp enough to bite even through your clothes. The roses are in bloom and gusts of wind wafts their sweet smell to you.
  
  Gogol trots after you.
  
  > look at the man
  He's clad in a crinkly silvery space suit with a large helmet. His movements are slow, he must be really tired!
  
  > look at the helmet
  The helmet is large and it looks really heavy. The visor of the helmet is covered with gold, so the rocket men won't burn their eyes if they look at the Sun or the flames of the Atomic Engines.
  
  > Inventory
  You are carrying:
  a boat hook
  a white plastic spray can
  an egg timer
  a pasta strainer (being worn)
  a child size life vest (being worn)
  a packet of wieners
  
  > Hook man
  You step into the shallow ice-cold water, almost slipping on the slimy rocks under the surface. The boat hook is surprisingly unwieldy, it's heavy and far longer than you are. You try to push it forward to catch the rocket man, but the tip just keeps sinking under the surface
  before it reaches him - you are just not strong enough to lift it up.
  
  An idea! You lift the pole almost straight up, and let it fall towards the suit. Too late you realize, that the hook is quite sharp, you
  might actuall hurt-
  
  The hook hits the rocket man straight in the helmet visor, leaving a star shaped crack. You yelp and let go of the shaft, the rocket man jolts and grabs the boat hook, pulling it out of your reach. A wave catches it, flips it around the rocks, and it vanishes amidst the
  surf. Oh my god, father is going to kill you for losing the hook!
  
  > examine the brush
  (the shrubs)
  They are a hardy mess of all kinds of low lying plants, that are
  really hard to rip up from the ground. Sometimes there are beautiful small yellow and purple flowers on them, but not now.
  
  > enter the outbuilding
  It's a little bit dark in thereâ¦ It's not like you were afraid of the dark, no, but you just don't need anything from there right now. Really!
  
  > enter the outhouse
  You don't need to go right now, and it's really not a place you want
  to just hang in.
  
  > examine house
  It's a three storey yellow wooden house, with a steep roof and a balcony looking out to the west. According to father that is where the pilots used to stand in the olden times to look for incoming ships. He says that he had to do that also when he was a child, and grandfather was sick or out getting supplies.
  
  > Go inside
  The porch has two fly-speckled windows, and the benches under them are covered with all kinds of stuff. You never remember having seen them empty, so that someone could actually sit down when putting on or taking off their shoes. The front hall is to the north.
  
  Gogol trots after you.
  
  You heard the hiss and the crackle of an untuned radio in the living room.
  
  > go inside
  You can't go that way.
  
  You heard the hiss and the crackle of an untuned radio in the living room.
  
  > Go north
  The front hall is cool and dark with the wood paneled walls and the dark red rugs. There is a closet in the corner with some of your mother's stuff in there. A staircase leads upstairs, and there are
  open doorways to the kitchen in the west and to the living room to the east.
  
  Gogol trots after you.
  
  You heard the hiss and the crackle of an untuned radio in the living room.
  
  > Go east
  The living room is dark and cozy, even in the middle of the day. In
  the air there's an aroma of your father's pipe tobacco, which covers any other scents. Against the wall there's a bookcase with a few of your father's books, and some of yours. There's your father's comfy chair, and the dark green sofa where you and mother sit. On the side table there's the radio.
  
  Gogol trots after you.
  
  The untuned radio is hissing and crackling, catching the cosmic radiation between the stations.
  
  > examine the radio
  It's the large tube radio, from which you listen to the news and radio plays. You are not supposed to touch it without father's or mother's permission.
  
  The untuned radio is hissing and crackling, catching the cosmic radiation between the stations.
  
  > touch the radio
  You're really not supposed to touch it without permission. If
  something happens to it, you'll get your hide tanned.
  
  The untuned radio is hissing and crackling, catching the cosmic radiation between the stations.
  
  > Tune radio
  You turn the knobs frantically, making the radio hiss and howlâ¦
  there,
  some speech! Oh no, can't find it againâ¦ Music! Fast swinging Jazz music!
  
  Jazz music is blaring out of the radio.
  
  > Keep going
  Now that you've found a station, better not mess with it!
  
  Jazz music is blaring out of the radio.
  
  > take the radio
  You're really not supposed to touch it without permission. If
  something happens to it, you'll get your hide tanned.
  
  Jazz music is blaring out of the radio.
