  You wake up and it is bright, bright enough that you can tell that it must be mid-afternoon. As your vision clears, you being to realize your situation. Alone. No one else. A sense of panic rushes in as you quickly check all around you. There are trees around you with fog clouding your sight into what's beyond. A little stream cuts through the forest to your right. Through the fog, however, you can just barely see a hill not too far away. You calm down now that you know your surroundings. You have no memory of before and no answer to why you're here or even where here is. You figure you'll probably be here for a while, so you decide that you might as well start getting supplies. The stream clearly has fish in it, the trees can be used for wood for a fire, and the hill can be used to see if maybe you're not completely alone.

  > go to the stream and grab some fish for food
  You walk over to the stream. It is crystal-clear in the broad daylight and you see many fish swimming peacefully, not a care in the world. So you quickly reach your hand in and snatch one of the poor fishies. The moment has come for you to eat the unfortunate fish. You decide to treat it like a Band-Aid and get it over with quickly. You shove the bite-sized fish into your mouth and eat. Eating that sad fish was a terrible thing but a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do...or woman, whatever. The point is you just ate a poor, defenseless fish. Good job. Now you're full. However, it is getting close to nighttime. Maybe you enjoyed that fish a little too much.
  
  > Continue...
  Night creeps closer and you figure that you need to get some shelter. You head off into the woods to look for something you can use for supplies. You take some wood and craft yourself a nice shovel and sword for protection, should you need it. With no house, you are left with two options.
  
  > Sleep
  You put your shovel and sword at your feet as you lie against the nearest tree. The fog around you is almost calming as you drift off into sleep...
  
  You awake to the sound of an arrow being shot into the tree you are laying against, barely missing your head. You quickly grab your sword and stand up and look at where it came from. There it is. It is the scariest thing you've ever seen. It is like a walking skeleton with a bow and arrow. The sight of it stuns you for a moment as it readies another arrow. You quickly dive left, barely dodging the arrow. Quick!
  
  > Run!
  Lucky for you, it seems that walking skeletons aren't too fast and you escape with no trouble. You're still really tired and decide to try and find a safer place to sleep. Perhaps up in a tree will do. You find a nice-looking tree and are just about to climb it when you see another monster. This one has yet to see you, though. It is just wandering around on its four legs, but has no arms. Maybe this creature isn't even aggressive.
  
  > Fight! KILL!
  You raise your sword and begin walking very carefully towards the creature. It still hasn't seen you. You take a step, nothing. Another step, no reaction. Another, nothing. With the next step, you nearly scream as the creature slowly turns around and walks towards you. Sword held high, you charge the creature. You stab it once in the chest. It hisses loudly and then explodes! You fly back a few feet, let go of your sword and land on the ground. You take a moment to take in the pain before you sit up and check the situation. The area where the creature was is now a giant hole in the ground. You pick up your sword, which is badly damaged but still usable. Just as you think you're maybe finally safe, you hear a terrible moan from behind you. You look up to find a third monster. It looks similar to you, except that it looks like it has been dead for years. Zombies, really? Sword still damaged, the zombie charges you.
  
  > charge the Zombie!
  You decide to fight the zombie defensively and wait for it to come to you, which happens to be quite quickly. It gets to attacking distance in no time, but you are ready. You swing your sword for a lethal hit, but the zombie blocks it with his arm and hits the sword out of your hand and it hits the ground. With a loud crash it breaks into pieces. You instantly take off in the opposite direction but you can tell from the footsteps behind you that it is catching up. You need to find somewhere to hide from the zombie. You conviently see a cave to your right and tall trees to your left.
  
  > climb the Tree!
  You temporarily become a ninja and climb the nearest tree as fast as you can. You reach a nice sturdy branch before you finally look down to check on the zombie. It is still frantically trying to attack you but clearly cannot climb the tree, probably because of its being dead and all. Lucky for you, dawn was fast approaching, and in moments it is bright enough to see the zombie more clearly. Just as you try to see more details of its face, it bursts into flames. The zombie beings running around in circles, panicking and clearly forgetting about you. For being already dead, it takes a surprisingly long amount of time to die from fire, but eventually it does collapse with one final moan. You climb down from the tree.
  
  > Continue...
  The day has come. Your first night was rough as hell, but hey, you survived. The daytime must make all those monsters burn. Neat! Well, you might as well get to work on a shelter or house or something. And so you do. For the next few weeks, you dedicate yourself to building a home. Eventually, you make one and are safe from the monsters at night. You even keep track of the days that you've been stuck here. Day 47. That's when it all went down.
  
  It was a day just like any other. It was the evening and you need some tools to build a fireplace in your house. So, you head off to your tool shed out front of your house. You're just about to open the door when you see something strange out of the corner of your eye. You slowly look and notice what you only describe as a person, just like you. Actually, quite a lot like you, except with some indistinguishable difference. It is standing right at the edge of the fog, and you can't really make out any details.
  
  > chase the Thing!
  You take the aggressive approach and dart towards the thing. The instant you do, it whips around and runs away. You keep the chase up for a few minutes, but it clearly shows no sign of slowing down and nighttime is getting closer. You have no weapons, so you decide to let the thing go. Whatever it was, you must have scared the hell out of it. You head back home and get some sleep, or at least try to. You can't stop thinking about that strange thing.
  
  > wait for it Tomorrow
  So you sleep until the next morning. First thing you do is look outside. It's not there. You prepare yourself all day for this thing. You craft yourself armor, a bow, arrows, sword and shield. The time comes and you wait for it. As you expected, same time same place, it arrives. You never actually see it arrive, it just seems to appear. Perhaps it's just an illusion. Or a trick! Maybe somebody's setting a trap. You quickly look behind you. You check everything and then with a hard hit to the back of your head, you lose consciousness.
  
  > Continue...
  You awake some time later in an almost completely dark room. A light shines in on you from above. You look up and see a long hole leading all the way up to the surface. You must be very deep underground. You have nothing on you and you're not even tied up or anything, which actually freaks you out more. You start to rattle your brain for any memories when you hear footsteps. There it is. That thing. It really is just like you. Then, as it raises its hand and you stare dead into its face, you think your final thought, "Those eyes. Dear God, those eyes."
