  *BUZZ BUZZ* You hear your phone start to vibrate. *BUZZ BUZZ* You look at your phone with heavy eyelids to see it is your boss, the dick at Waffle House that who likes to make your life a living hell. *BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ* Angered for being pulled from your slumber (Oh what a good dream you were having. And when you were about to make a move on her none the less!) you answer your phone.
  
  The sound of your bosses voice jolts you from your drowsiness. You look at your clock and see it's 2:00. He's right to be angry. You're 3 hours late.
  
  You hear a beep as your boss disconnects the call. He was right. You wonder how you even got the job in the first place. You didn't really put much effort into your resume, and the only reason you did it was to please your roommate. You lie in your bed and become bored as the hours pass by.
  
  Looking around your room, you try to decide what you wish to do.
  
  > use your PC to find a new job
  You get on your PC and get ready to open up firefox, when you notice DayZ is sitting there begging to be played. You decide to try and shut it out and search for a job.[Themes: modern, war, serious]
  
  It's 10:45 am. You're hard at work in your cubicle on the 95th floor of your building. Things have been fairly hectic at the office, but all in all you're content with your job. You make enough money to support your wife and four-year-old daughter, and your social life's not bad. You've been hitting the gym more often, too.
  
  You look at the financial reports on your computer screen. Just 15 minutes more and they'll be finished. Then you can grab lunch with Donna and Charlie. Maybe the Bears game is-
  
  You stand up at your cubicle and look out into the hallway at the end of the room. Five masked gunmen holding machine guns rush into the room, screaming and spraying the room with bullets. You immediately duck underneath your desk and close your eyes. Dear G-d, how could this be happening?
  
  You hear screams of agony over the *blam* *blam* of the bullets. A warm liquid gushes underneath the divider between your cubicle and the guy who works across from you. You try not to choke as you realize it's his blood, pooling on the floor and going into your nose. You lie there, praying that you don't get shot.
  
  After what seems like an eternity, you hear a voice.
  
  "All right, that's it. On to the next room!"
  
  You stay silent as you hear their footsteps get quieter and quieter as they walk away. The lights have all been smashed and the room is silent. After several more minutes, you carefully extricate yourself from underneath your desk.
  
  You look around the room. The room is about the size of a basketball court and filled with cubicles, with a door at the end of the room leading to the hallway. Sunlight streams in through the windows, but only so far; long deep shadows make the inner part of the room somewhat dark; easy enough to see, just dark enough to need a light for reading.
  
  Dead bodies of your co-workers litter the room. You're sure there are no survivors. You pick up the phone to call 911, but the lines are cut. Your cell phone, for whatever reason, gets no signal, and the Internet is down. You have no way to contact anyone else. You need to escape.
  
  [Author's Note: You're hard at work in your cubicle in a high-rise downtown office building, when suddenly armed gunmen burst into the room. They spray the room with bullets, killing everybody, except for you, and leave. Thinking everyone in the room is dead, they leave to continue their job. You have to escape, but it will be no easy task. You will have to rely on any weapons you can find, your knowledge of the building, and most of all, dumb luck to survive. This game has several endings, and gameplay relies on trust. It's easy to cheat your way to the end, but much more difficult (and fun) to play the game fairly. So if one of the available actions is "use XXX item" and you have not yet picked up that item, don't click that option. You will be told clearly in the game when you acquire an item. This is my very first game. If there are any bugs or areas that seem half-assed, please let me know. And if you need help completing the game, message me.]
  
  > check the desk for anything you can use
  You search your desk, but of course there's nothing really useful. You quickly go through some other cubicles too, stepping over the corpses of your co-workers. But unless you want to staple the gunmen to death, there's nothing at all useful.
  
  > go to the janitor's closet
  You head to the janitor's closet. Inside there's a broom, a mop cart, and several bottles of bleach labeled DANGER: Highly Corrosive material. Ideally, you'd love to bring both, but there's no container to bring just a portion of the bleach. You either bring the broom and have a melee weapon, or lug around the entire bottle of bleach, which you could use to burn anyone who tries to hurt you. Both have the same weight, and you could do some damage with either one if you needed to. Which do you bring?
  
  > take the broom
  You take the broom. It's more practical than a bottle of bleach, and as Charlie always says---said, you have a great baseball swing. You're better off without the bleach.
  
  > take the broom
  You rush out of the room and slowly creep towards the elevator. Immediately out of the room with the cubicles and janitor's office there is another smaller hallway with other offices. Nearby are the stairs, and the elevator. The hallway is completely quiet.
  
  > take the elevator
  You step in the elevator, and the doors shut behind you. Like in many high-rise buildings, the elevators don't take you to each and every floor. In the Willis Tower, for example, one of the ground-floor elevators skips floors 2-65, and takes you up to 66, and a few more floors. In this case, you are on the 95th floor of the building, and the only other accessible floors on this elevator are 96th, which is a mechanical floor, and the ground floor. There's also another button with a keyhole marked "Special."
  
  > go to the ground floor
  You press the G button, and immediately regret your decision. Naturally they would have guards posted on the ground floor. You panic and frantically press the emergency button but it doesn't work. You watch the screen count down each floor as you descend. You feel like it's counting down the moments you have left to live. 5...4...3...2...1...
  
  *Ding!*
  
  The door opens, and two masked gunmen look inside, see you, and raise their guns.
  
  You are killed instantly.
