  Noises, scratching, clawing...You run and run feeling the presence of a large creature behind you. A searing pain opens on your back and you drop to the floor. You turn around to face your attacker, a huge looming shape stands above you. In a hoarse, pained voice it says "Help me..." Before raising its claws above its body and bringing them down...
  
  You jolt awake and realize where you are at. Several months ago you received a letter in the mail, an invitation to come to a town called Flowerfield. You had never heard of this town before but as you continued reading through the letter you became interested. It mentioned something that no one had known before. A four clawed scar across your back. The only people that knew were your parents and they usually avoided the subject whenever you confronted them about it. Here it seems though, that someone knows about your scar. Intrigued you had decided to visit this Flowerfield town. Now you are on a bus and just ahead you see a Sign. "Welcome to Flowerfield!" it read.
  
  You cover your face with your palm. The town was decorated with flowers of nearly every shade and type. It seemed like one of those fantasies where everyone is cheerful and happy and flower petals rained from the sky. It sickens you slightly. As the bus stops you grab your bags and make your way off the bus, the air was heavily scented by the flowers. From here you make your way to a Hotel called The Flowering Rose. You pass by many people, all happy and smiley. Something seemed too fake about it though, too...unreal. You stop a nearby man and look him in the eyes. Do you...
  
  > Let go of the man and get back on the bus to go back home.
  You arrive home in a matter of days. Your parents meet you at the front steps and hug you saying how worried they were. You return to normal life but a few short years later the scar on your back flares up. It bursts open, blood and pus spewing out of your back as you fall to the ground in Agony, right as you were getting ready to go to bed. Your spine rips out of your body and darkness closes in on your eyes as Death takes you in his Cold embrace...

  > Let go of the man and go to the Hotel
  As you enter the Nice hotel your nostrils are assaulted with more flowery smells, you begin to feel sick of this intense flowery Perfume parade, but trudge up to the counter. A woman sits there, sitting straight up in a high back chair and seems to be staring at the Entrance. A small bell is on the desk in front of her. Even as people enter the Hotel she does not seem to notice, just constantly staring into nothingness.
  
  You are tempted to smack her to gain her attention but you hold back. Instead you...[Themes: edutainment, historical, quiz, war]
  
  "Da-Rung, come help me! I cannot seem to carry my bicycle back up!' yelled Taevy, your best friend since childhood. You smiled and immediately run towards Taevy to carry her fallen bicycle. You have been observing this friend of yours and since the war had started, she seems to look very pale and weak. You felt like you really need to be around her or she might just faint anytime.
  
  "Taevy." You said after carrying her bicycle up and allowing her to push the bike along with you as both of you walk. "I realised that you seem very tired nowadays. Have you been sleeping and eating well?"
  
  Taevy looked did not look surprised at all when she heard the question.
  
  "Ask me when was the last time I had meat in my diet? Probably last year. All I have been eating is tapioca and sweet potato. I am so sick of it!"
  
  > Agree that tapioca and sweet potato had no nutrients and joined her in complaining.
  -1
  
  You agree that tapioca does not have any nutrient and is very bland to the taste. You decided to continue walking from there. You have to admit that with the lack of food availability around you, it is easy to feel frustrated. You only got to eat boiled or grilled cheap vegetables and if you are lucky some salted fish to go with porridge.
  
  Both you and Taevy continue walking in the direction of your house. Once you reached home, both of you sit down silently on the front steps of your house, like how you've always been doing for the last few year.
  
  Your little brother, Ding-Yang appear out from the house and started to complaining that his stomach was feeling very uncomfortable.
  
  > ignore him and continue talking to your friend.
  - 2
  
  You ignored your brother and continue talking to Taevy.
  
  "I feel like eating mangoes." You said. Taevy looked at you, "Me too! I have been craving for mangoes but its been getting so expensive, I can never afford to buy it." She says sadly.
  
  Your little brother, Ding-Yang sat beside you. "Me too. Everyday I eat the same tapioca, potatoes and rice. It is no wonder I can't seem to remove my waste regularly.Do you think I should change my diet?"
  
  > tell him to continue eating as usual.
  - 2
  
  "No, just continue eating like this. Its not as if we have a choice. The only alternative is to go without food. And honestly, I rather be eating tapioca, sweet potatoes and yams everyday as compare to dying of starvation." You said in a rude tone.
  
  Both Taevy and Ding-yang just sat silently beside you. You know, at this point, you had hurt their feelings. Regretfully, you start to think of ways to compensate for your tone of voice.
  
  Suddenly, you have a brilliant plan.
  
  > say "Well, there are mango and dragonfruit trees in the jungle behind Bukit Merah, shall we go?"
  -1
  
  Immediately after you suggested the idea to go fruit-hunting in the jungle, both Taevy and Ding-Yan faces lit up. 'YES!" they said enthusiastically . "How about going now? While the sun is still up?" Taevy says excitedly.
  
  Both you and Ding-Yan agreed. You were so thrilled with the idea that you can almost feel the sweet and tangy taste of mangoes. The three of you happily set off to go to the jungle ahead, without taking any precautions on what may happen.
  
  > All of you managed to reach the jungle before sunset safely.
  As soon as you saw the jungle, you started to feel a shiver of fear . You turned to your left and right and can sensed both Taevy and Ding-Yang feeling the same way. Being the oldest, you lead the group in and started to walk in the direction of the mango trees that you thought was situated.
  
  All of a sudden, you hear loud rustling tree branches and heavy footsteps and a big hand grabbed you by the shoulder.
  
  "What are you doing here?! Who are you?!" You hear big men with broken lips and peeling skins yelling at you.
  
  Both Taevy and Ding-Yang hide behind you in fear. "We were looking for mangoes, we meant no harm! All we wanted was to look for mangoes." You said in fear.
  
  The leader of the group then said, "Mangoes? My dear boy, if there were mangoes or any fruits out here, none of us would be suffering from scurvy!" He pointed to the peeling skin on his face. "We are communist and we have been hiding here in the jungle, living on rice and tapioca, ever since the war started. Now don't let us see you here again!" he warned before pushing us to the direction of the jungle exit.
  
  We quickly nodded and ran all the way back home, too afraid to turn around. We may not have gotten our fruits but at least we managed to get out of the jungle safe and sound.
