  some might consider a paradise. To the west is a lush forest that extends high up into the only mountain on the island. The beach is nature at its best. Sandpipers dart the beach, running toward the water and then retreating when the surf breaks.
  
  The water is sparkling due to the bright sun rising from the east. The wind has died down considerably and is now a gentle zephyr blowing in from the shore. The rocky beach continue north and south.
  
  > listen
  You can hear the surf crash into the jagged rocks.
  
  > look at the rocks
  The rocks jut out from the beach and are about ten feet tall. They have mostly jagged edges and appear quite dangerous.
  
  > climb the rocks
  The rocks are too jagged and too steep for you to climb.
  
  > take the rock
  The rocks are far too heavy for you to take.
  
  > Dig
  What do you want to dig in?
  
  > Sand
  What do you want to dig in them with?
  
  > Go north
  You walk back along the rocky shore for a while.

  > examine Beach
  You're standing on the shore of a rocky stretch of beach on what some might consider a paradise. The beach is nature at its best.
  Sandpipers dart the beach, running toward the water and then retreating when the surf breaks.
  
  > examine sandpipers
  The birds are probably looking for their breakfast.
  
  > dig in the Beach
  What do you want to dig in it with?
  
  > look at Boat
  The boat has run aground in the shallow water. Considering what it went through last night, it appears in good shape.
  
  > examine the water
  The ocean water is sparkling like a diamond as the rising sun bounces its rays off the waves. It is quite calm, considering how turbulent the ocean was last night.
  
  > Go north
  As you walk up the beach, you hear the faint sound of the dog barking again.
  
  This stretch of beach has much more sand and barely any rocks. The western side is still protected by the lush forest and the water is very inviting here. The sun bounces off the water making this area very surreal. You can retreat back toward the boat by going south and the beach continues north for a while before it takes a sharp left turn.
  
  > go north
  As you prepare to continue down the stretch of beach, a small beagle runs up to you and starts wagging its tail. You stop in your tracks and bend down to pet the dog. It reciprocates by licking your face.
  
  > examine the dog
  The dog is brown and white with streaks of black. It's constantly sniffing something, probably in search of food.
  
  "Godzilla!" shouts a short elderly man. "Why did you run away from me?" questions the man as if he's fully prepared for the dog to answer him. The beagle sniffs a pile of seaweed and then makes a beeline toward the old man. The man then looks up to you and smiles.
  
  "Well, hello there," says the man as he walks up to you. "I reckon that you were caught in that horrible storm last night?" questions the man as he glances over your shoulder at the boat that's run aground.
  
  You extend your hand and introduce yourself, though you quickly realize he is not a baseball fan since he didn't recognize the name. You learn that his name is Joe and that you washed up on his private island. He tells you more about himself than you can possibly remember and he guides you back to his estate.
  
  You explain to him the incredible thirty-six hour stretch you've just lived and how lucky you are to be alive. He listens attentively during your walk, but you can tell from his reaction that he can't relate; his daily life is much different here. You do learn that apart from several boats, Joe has his own air strip with a single engine Cessna on the island. You'll be home in several hours.
  
  The two of you seem to hit it off during your fifteen minute walk to his estate, but you're just relieved that you'll be able to see your wife and kids shortly.
  
  "Here we are," says Joe as he leads you into the living room. "You can use the phone there," he says as he points to a small end table near the sofa. "Once you've called your wife and let her know the plan, you can freshen up in the bathroom," mentions Joe. "I'll let Mary know that you're here. She'll probably bring you something to eat," chuckles Joe, aware that you're probably starving as well.
  
  Joe then leaves the room.
  
  You're in a large living room, overlooking the ocean. It's
  furnished quite nicely and appears to be well taken care of. Hanging on the walls are several paintings that look like they belong in a museum. The granite fireplace anchors the living room with the sofa and chairs centered accordingly. There is no TV or radio and you gather that this room is set up as an ideal conversation place.
  
  The east wall is made up of four extremely large floor to ceiling windows that give an exceptional view of the island. Near the sofa, sitting on a small end table, is a phone.
  
  > call wife
  You pick up the phone and dial your number. After a couple of rings, you're greeted by the precious sound of your wife's voice. She immediately starts to cry when she hears your voice and you do your best to soothe her. You tell her that you're stranded off a private island near Martha's Vineyard and that the owner is flying you home in his private Cessna. You tell her that you should be arriving at New Bedford's airport within two hours and that you'll see her then.
  
  You avoid telling her all the details of your ordeal and manage to quench her thirst for information by saying that you're fine and that you'll explain everything to her shortly. You tell her to give the kids a kiss for you and then hang up the phone.
  
  Godzilla runs into the room and sniffs your leg for a second. He wags his tail several times, sniffs around the sofa and then darts out of the room.
  
  > call 911
  I don't know how to call the number 911.
  
  "Hi Jake," says a soft voice.
  
  You turn around and see an elderly woman standing at the entrance of the room.
  
  "Joe told me your story, I can't believe what happened to you, you poor soul. By the way, I'm Mary, Joe's better half," she grins as she places a platter containing coffee, juice and a blueberry muffin down on the end table.
  
  You return the greeting and thank her for the hospitality. You exchange several more pleasantries before she excuses herself.
  
  > drink the coffee
  You sip the coffee.
  
  Godzilla comes streaking into the room again. He immediately notices the blueberry muffin and before you can salvage it, he snags it from the silver platter and consumes it whole. He sniffs the area for a moment and then leaves just as quick as he appeared.
  
  > eat the muffin
  You take a bite of the blueberry muffin. You take another bite. You then realize just how hungry you are and finish it off.
  
  Godzilla comes streaking into the room again. He sniffs the air, quite confident that a meal was here, but finds nothing. He sniffs around the end table for a moment and then leaves.
  
  > drink coffee
  You sip the coffee.
  
  Mary walks into the room and asks if you would like to use the bathroom. You respond accordingly and are promptly escorted to the washroom.
  
  You spend several minutes taking care of what you need to do and come out feeling very refreshed. You retrace your steps back into the living room, hoping that Joe is there waiting for you. You're eager to get back to your family.
  
  You're in a large living room, overlooking the ocean. It's
  furnished quite nicely and appears to be well taken care of. Hanging on the walls are several paintings that look like they belong in a museum. The granite fireplace anchors the living room with the sofa and chairs centered accordingly. There is no TV or radio and you gather that this room is set up as an ideal conversation place.
  
  The east wall is made up of four extremely large floor to ceiling windows that give an exceptional view of the island. Near the sofa, sitting on a small end table, is a phone.
  Sitting on the end table is a silver platter.
  
  > Oops platter
  You see nothing remarkable about the silver platter. Sitting on the platter is a cup of coffee and a glass of orange juice.
  
  "You ready?" quips Joe as he enters the room.
  
  You look up and smile at Joe. "You bet!" you reply as you follow Joe out of the room.
  
  You're still a little apprehensive that he's the pilot, but you figure you've just about had enough of boats and it will be the quickest way home. Yes home. That's where you need to be. You've had enough adventure to last a lifetime.
  
  You follow Joe out of the estate, but not without first saying good-bye to Mary, and of course, Godzilla. Joe motions for you to get into the golf cart and you're whisked away to the airfield. A few minutes later you arrive at the Cessna.
  
  The plane looks brand new and well maintained. He reminds you that he has it serviced every month and that he's been flying for almost forty years. It comforts you somewhat, but not entirely.
  
  You're then led into the aircraft through a small door in the cabin and after a sharp left turn, you enter the cockpit. You're amazed at how small it is but beggars can't be choosers, so you strap yourself in the passenger's seat. The passenger seat harness uses a five point restraint and looks pretty solid.
  
  Joe then sits down in the pilot's chair, straps himself in and starts the engine. You look down at his flimsy two piece seat belt and chuckle. You're finally glad that you're the passenger. A few moments later, the plane starts rolling down the runway.
  
  Cockpit, buckled in the passenger's seat
  As the plane accelerates, you glance over to Joe; he looks as calm
  as can be. You look down at the instrument panel and are immediately hit with sensory overload. There are more displays, dials, lights and indicators than you could have possibly imagined. You can't even make out the speed or altitude displays, there are just too many of them.
  
  Joe tells you to hang on, this part can be bumpy at times.
  
  "Bumpy?" you question Joe. "I thought you told me that this was smooth sailing from start to finish?"
  
  "Heh heh," he chuckles. "Just sit back and relax," he replies as the plane leaves the ground, shakes violently for a moment and then eases up. "Like I said, no sweat!" he continues, almost as if he's toying with you. "The rest of the ride will be a breeze, Jake. I promise."
  
  Joe picks up the receiver to the radio and mumbles something into it. After several confirmations, he places the receiver back on the radio.
  
  > wait
  Time passes...
  
  The plane continues to climb, giving you an incredible view of the small chain of islands. Joe had mentioned earlier that most of the islands are uninhabited and that you were lucky you landed on his.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The plane ascends to its cruising altitude and appears to be as steady as a rock. You were a bit apprehensive of the possible turbulence at this height, but the cool clear weather conditions are apparently optimal for flying.
  
  Joe points at an island off in the distance and remarks that it's Martha's Vineyard. You play the part and appear interested, even though your thoughts of getting home are consuming you.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The plane is finally flying over land again. Joe mentions that the approach to New Bedford airport is literally minutes away.
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes...
  
  Joe picks up the radio receiver and signals air traffic control that he's ready for his approach. You glance out the window, finally able to relax a little, knowing that within fifteen minutes or so you'll be surrounded by your family.
  
  Your daydreaming is interrupted by the repeated request of the air traffic controller to confirm the landing pattern and by the sudden altitude change of the plane.
  
  You turn to look at Joe and gasp. He's slumped over in his chair, radio receiver on the cockpit floor, squawking for confirmation. Joe doesn't say a word.
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes...
  
  The plane continues its descent.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The airplane starts to tremble slightly. The pitch of its descent is starting to increase.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The Cessna continues to tremble.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  You almost lose your balance as the airplane dips slightly.
  
  > wait awhile
  Time passes...
  
  The airplane continues its descent.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The sound coming from the single engine starts to worry you. The speed at which the aircraft is now flying is causing the plane engine to sputter.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The engine stalls as the plane continues its descent toward earth.
  
  > wait
  Time passes...
  
  The sound of the airplane flying without its engine is starting to get on your nerves.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The wings of the aircraft are now shaking violently as it races toward Earth.
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes...
  
  The pitch of the plane is making it very hard for you to do anything. Your rendezvous with Earth is fast approaching.
  
  > wait a while
  Time passes...
  
  The beeping and humming coming from the cockpit panel is driving you nuts. Every light and display is indicating a problem with the plane; one look out the window and you can figure that out all by yourself.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The plane continues its steep descent toward Earth. It's a matter of time before impact.
  
  > wait
  Time passes...
  
  The Cessna is starting to shake violently. You're probably no more than ten thousand feet from earth right now, barely enough time for a parachute to open properly.
  
  > wait
  Time passes...
  
  The plane appears as if it's on the verge of going into a nose dive. You don't have much time left.
  
  > wait
  Time passes...
  
  Death is near, judging by the horrible sound the plane is making.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The plane pitches forward and you hang on for dear life. It starts to nose dive toward Earth and there's not much you can do. All of the loose items in the plane are thrown toward the back wall of the plane cabin. You can't see much, your brain is having a hard enough time processing the incredible sound the plane is making as it plummets toward Earth. You don't feel a thing at Ground Zero.
  
  > Awe9
  Cockpit, buckled in the passenger's seat
  The cockpit is cramped, to say the least. Both the passenger seat
  and the pilot's chair have little leg room. Most of the space is occupied by an instrument panel which contains numerous dials, displays and indicators that are extremely foreign to you. The plane cabin is south.
  
  Joe is here, slumped in his chair.
  
  > Unstrap
  What do you want to unfasten?
  
  > untie the belt
  I don't know how to untie the seat belt.
  
  The plane continues its descent.
  
  > unbuckle belt
  As you unbuckle the seat belt, Joe slumps to the side and begins to fall to the cockpit floor. You reach over and ease his body down softly. The weight of his initial fall yanks the radio receiver cord from the instrument panel. There goes the radio.
  
  The plane continues its descent.
  
  > go south
  You're not going anywhere until you get off of the passenger's seat.
  
  The airplane starts to tremble slightly. The pitch of its descent is starting to increase.
  
  > stand
  You can't get out of the passenger's seat while you're buckled in.
  
  The airplane starts to tremble slightly. The pitch of its descent is starting to increase.
  
  > Awe9
  Restored.
  
  Cockpit, buckled in the passenger's seat
  The cockpit is cramped, to say the least. Both the passenger seat
  and the pilot's chair have little leg room. Most of the space is occupied by an instrument panel which contains numerous dials, displays and indicators that are extremely foreign to you. The plane cabin is south.
  
  Joe is here, slumped in his chair.
  
  > Unstrap buckle
  You unbuckle yourself from the passenger's seat.
  
  The plane continues its descent.
  
  > stand
  Okay, you're no longer sitting on the passenger's seat.
  
  The airplane starts to tremble slightly. The pitch of its descent is starting to increase.
  
  > Go south
  You're in the tiny cabin of the plane. There's not much room here,
  and you need to duck your head as you move around in the cabin. The closed cabin door is to the east. You can enter the cockpit by going north.
  You see a red parachute and a blue parachute here.
  
  The Cessna continues to tremble.
  
  > get red
  Taken.
  
  You almost lose your balance as the airplane dips slightly.
  
  > wear it
  Okay, you're now wearing the red parachute.
  
  The airplane continues its descent.
  
  > open the door
  You open the door and the wind almost knocks you back.
  
  The sound coming from the single engine starts to worry you. The speed at which the aircraft is now flying is causing the plane engine to sputter.
  
  > Open parachute
  Which parachute do you mean, the red parachute, or the blue parachute?
  
  > Red
  The parachute is opened by pulling it's appropriate cord.
  
  The engine stalls as the plane continues its descent toward earth.
  
  > pull the cord
  Which cord do you mean, the long black cord, the short white cord, the long green cord, or the short orange cord?
  
  > examine Red
  The red parachute is the larger of the two. It is neatly bundled up and contains the necesary straps and belts to secure it to your body. On the right side of the parachute are two cords, one long and black, the other short and white. Each cord has a small tag attached to it.
  
  The sound of the airplane flying without its engine is starting to get on your nerves.
  
  > look at the long black
  The long black cord is attached to the red parachute. It has a small tag hanging off the end of it.
  
  The wings of the aircraft are now shaking violently as it races toward Earth.
  
  > read long black
  I don't know how to read the long black cord.
  
  The wings of the aircraft are now shaking violently as it races toward Earth.
  
  > read the tag
  Which tag do you mean, the white tag, the black tag, the green tag, or the orange tag?
  
  > Black
  The black tag has the word Primary stamped on it.
  
  The wings of the aircraft are now shaking violently as it races toward Earth.
  
  > read white
  Which white do you mean, the short white cord, or the white tag?
  
  > Tag
  The white tag has the word Emergency stamped on it.
  
  The wings of the aircraft are now shaking violently as it races toward Earth.
  
  > jump
  You walk up to the cabin door, look out at the open sky and then prepare to jump out of the plane. You glance back at the cockpit and spot Joe, barely clinging to life. You wish him well. You briefly inspect the red parachute and hope that you put it on correctly.
  
  You then grab the side of the door jam, bend one knee and jump. You actually catch yourself screaming "Geronimo!" as you clear the plane.
  
  You're currently racing toward Earth at break-neck speed. Your best guess is that you're less than 10,000 feet from land.
  
  > pull white
  You yank on the short white cord and it separates from the red parachute. Uh oh. You let go of it.
  
  You're beginning to wonder how much longer you have before impact.
  
  > pull black
  You yank on the long black cord and it separates from the red parachute. Uh oh. You let go of it.
  
  > check what you're carrying
  You have a red parachute (being worn). Your front pocket seems to contain your Swiss army knife.
  
  You're beginning to wonder how much longer you have before impact.
  
  > pull black
  You pull the long black cord and the red parachute begins to open.
  Your body jerks back as your descent toward Earth slows down immensely.
  
  > wait
  Time passes...
  
  While floating to Earth, you watch in horror as Joe's airplane crashes into a small body of water. It appears as if nobody got hurt, apart from poor Joe. There's no way he could have survived that crash. A moment later, the Cessna disappears under water.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  The ground quickly approaches and you brace for impact. You land harder than expected and do a nifty tuck and roll. The parachute drags your body for several feet before you come to a full stop. You can't believe you're alive.
  
  You look around and see nothing but cows; just your luck, you happen to land right in the middle of a cow pasture. Thankfully, you managed to avoid colliding with one of them. As you regain your senses, you get to your feet and notice several people running toward you.
  
  Several folks help you remove the parachute and comment on the plane landing in the water just outside the farm grounds. You hang your head in shame; you should have saved Joe. Now he's dead.
  
  Several minutes later, you are escorted to a paramedic who checks you out. You refuse to ride in the ambulance and ask for a police escort home instead; you've been away from your wife and kids far too long.
  
  Interestingly enough, the police officer mentions on the ride home that one of kidnappers was mortally wounded during the money exchange and that the other man was apprehended at his beach house later that evening. You're glad that Bobby and Tommy got their just due.
  
  The reunion with your family is a precious moment. After swapping hugs, kisses and stories, you manage to catch a few winks. After all, Game One of The Series is tonight. You just hope that you don't have to hit the game winning home run again.
  
  You were:
  Excited by the opportunity to hit the game-winning home run;
  Anxious after barely fouling off a pitch;
  Distressed about being in the trainer's room wounded;
  Tranquil when you realized you had to travel via ambulance;
  Frightened after the ambulance was involved in an accident;
  Terrified when you hung upside down on the stretcher;
  Encouraged after you survived the forest fire;
  Apprehensive of the house on the beach;
  Incredulous when you stumbled onto a crime in progress;
  Pessimistic about getting out of the trunk alive;
  Overwhelmed by Bobby's and Tommy's plan;
  Concerned that you only had a few minutes to plan an escape in the bathroom;
  Optimistic that your Swiss army knife would save the day;
  Desensitized when you ran out of emotional support;
  Satisfied when you ate hot pizza;
  Felicitous after you discovered an escape option;
  Indignant when you caused the shelf to fall in the cellar;
  Rejuvenated after you stepped outside for the first time at the
  cabin;
  Delighted after you landed safely in the barn;
  Gratified when you found a way to get gas from the barn;
  Mendacious when you destroyed the light;
  Thrilled that you finally started the boat;
  Flabbergasted at your predicament in the boat;
  Serene after you survived the storm on the boat;
  Sanguine upon touching terra firma;
  Hopeful that Joe would be the savior;
  Emotional after you spoke to your wife;
  Satiated after you ate that delicious blueberry muffin;
  Panicky when you saw Joe slumped over in his chair;
  Abhorrent for leaving Joe in the plane.
  
  You finished the game, but did you really WIN?
  
  You may restore a saved game, start over, quit, or undo the current command.
  
  > Unstrap buckle
  You unbuckle yourself from the passenger's seat.

  Okay, you're no longer sitting on the passenger's seat.
  
  The Cessna continues to tremble.

  You reach down, pick him up by the armpits and secure him around his waist. He's much lighter than you expected.
  
  You almost lose your balance as the airplane dips slightly.

  You see a red parachute and a blue parachute here.
  
  The airplane continues its descent.
  
  > look at Joe
  You're currently holding Joe as he barely clings to life. His breathing is becoming more and more irregular.
  
  The sound coming from the single engine starts to worry you. The speed at which the aircraft is now flying is causing the plane engine to sputter.
  
  > get the red parachute
  You can't pick up the parachute while carrying Joe.
  
  The sound coming from the single engine starts to worry you. The speed at which the aircraft is now flying is causing the plane engine to sputter.

  You pull the long black cord and the red parachute begins to open.
  Your body jerks back and you lose your grip on Joe. His body slips through your hands and you helplessly watch his body fall toward Earth.
  
  Meanwhile, your descent toward Earth slows down tremendously.
  
  > Orange
  As you reach for the short orange cord, you almost lose your grip on Joe. It appears as if the short orange cord is out of reach based on the way your holding Joe and the way that cord is flailing in the wind.
  
  You're beginning to wonder how much longer you have before impact.

  You tie the end of the receiver cord to the short orange cord.
  
  The pitch of the plane is making it very hard for you to do anything. Your rendezvous with Earth is fast approaching.
  
  > put the blue on Joe
  You put the blue parachute on Joe.
  
  The beeping and humming coming from the cockpit panel is driving you nuts. Every light and display is indicating a problem with the plane; one look out the window and you can figure that out all by yourself.
  
  > open the door
  You open the door and the wind almost knocks you back.
  
  The plane continues its steep descent toward Earth. It's a matter of time before impact.
  
  > get Joe
  You reach down, pick him up by the armpits and secure him around his waist. He's much lighter than you expected.
  
  The Cessna is starting to shake violently. You're probably no more than ten thousand feet from earth right now, barely enough time for a parachute to open properly.
  
  > pull the receiver cord
  As you reach for the receiver cord, you almost lose your grip on Joe. It appears as if the receiver cord is out of reach based on the way your holding Joe and the way that cord is flailing in the wind.
  
  You're beginning to wonder how much longer you have before impact.
  
  > get the receiver
  As you race toward Earth, your velocity is causing the receiver to dangle just out of reach. You're afraid that if you made another attempt at it you might lose Joe in the process.
  
  > pull green
  As you reach for the long green cord, you almost lose your grip on Joe. It appears as if the long green cord is out of reach based on the way your holding Joe and the way that cord is flailing in the wind.
  
  You're starting to panic.
  
  > Wait
  Time passes...
  
  You've lost total control of your senses and you start wondering if there really is a God.
  
  > wait awhile
  Time passes...
  
  You look down and marvel at how quickly the grass is approaching you. Your entire life flashes before you at the moment of death. At least you never felt any pain.
  
  > pull the black
  You pull the long black cord and the red parachute begins to open.
  Your body jerks back and you lose your grip on Joe. His body slips through your hands and you helplessly watch his body fall toward Earth.
  
  Meanwhile, your descent toward Earth slows down tremendously.
  
  The ground quickly approaches and you brace for impact. You land harder than expected and do a nifty tuck and roll. The parachute drags your body for several feet before you come to a full stop. You can't believe you're alive.
  
  You look around and see nothing but cows; just your luck, you happen to land right in the middle of a cow pasture. Thankfully, you managed to avoid colliding with one of them. As you regain your senses, you get to your feet and notice several people running toward you.
  
  Several folks help you remove the parachute and comment on the plane landing in the water just outside the farm grounds.
  
  One of them mentions that they found the body of an elderly man near a large tree. They ask you why you think his parachute didn't open, but you don't offer a reply. The guilt almost consumes you as you say nothing.
  
  Several minutes later, you are escorted to a paramedic who checks you out. You refuse to ride in the ambulance and ask for a police escort home instead; you've been away from your wife and kids far too long.
  
  Interestingly enough, the police officer mentions on the ride home that one of kidnappers was mortally wounded during the money exchange and that the other man was apprehended at his beach house later that evening. You're glad that Bobby and Tommy got their just due.
  
  The reunion with your family is a precious moment. After swapping hugs, kisses and stories, you manage to catch a few winks. After all, Game One of The Series is tonight. You just hope that you don't have to hit the game winning home run again.
  
  You were:
  Excited by the opportunity to hit the game-winning home run;
  Anxious after barely fouling off a pitch;
  Distressed about being in the trainer's room wounded;
  Tranquil when you realized you had to travel via ambulance;
  Frightened after the ambulance was involved in an accident;
  Terrified when you hung upside down on the stretcher;
  Encouraged after you survived the forest fire;
  Apprehensive of the house on the beach;
  Incredulous when you stumbled onto a crime in progress;
  Pessimistic about getting out of the trunk alive;
  Overwhelmed by Bobby's and Tommy's plan;
  Concerned that you only had a few minutes to plan an escape in the bathroom;
  Optimistic that your Swiss army knife would save the day;
  Desensitized when you ran out of emotional support;
  Satisfied when you ate hot pizza;
  Felicitous after you discovered an escape option;
  Indignant when you caused the shelf to fall in the cellar;
  Rejuvenated after you stepped outside for the first time at the
  cabin;
  Delighted after you landed safely in the barn;
  Gratified when you found a way to get gas from the barn;
  Mendacious when you destroyed the light;
  Thrilled that you finally started the boat;
  Flabbergasted at your predicament in the boat;
  Serene after you survived the storm on the boat;
  Sanguine upon touching terra firma;
  Hopeful that Joe would be the savior;
  Emotional after you spoke to your wife;
  Satiated after you ate that delicious blueberry muffin;
  Panicky when you saw Joe slumped over in his chair;
  Indomitable -- need I say more;
  Shocked that you lost your grip on Joe.
  
  You finished the game, but did you really WIN?
  
  You may restore a saved game, start over, quit, or undo the current command.
  
  > Awe10
  Restored.
  
  You're in the tiny cabin of the plane. There's not much room here,
  and you need to duck your head as you move around in the cabin. The closed cabin door is to the east. You can enter the cockpit by going north.
  Joe is here, lying on the floor, unconscious from an apparent heart attack or stroke.
  
  > get the receiver cord
  You already have the receiver!
  
  The beeping and humming coming from the cockpit panel is driving you nuts. Every light and display is indicating a problem with the plane; one look out the window and you can figure that out all by yourself.

  The plane continues its steep descent toward Earth. It's a matter of time before impact.
  
  > jump
  You walk up to the cabin door, look out at the open sky and then prepare to jump out of the plane. You glance down at Joe, clinging to life. You briefly inspect the red parachute and hope that you put it on correctly.
  
  You then grab the side of the door jam, bend one knee and jump. You actually catch yourself screaming "Geronimo!" as you clear the plane.
  
  You aren't prepared for the tremendous jolt your body receives and before you can compensate, you're stripped of your possessions. Fortunately, you manage to hang on to Joe.
  
  You're currently racing toward Earth at break-neck speed. Your best guess is that you're less than 10,000 feet from land.
  
  > get the receiver cord
  You grab hold of the receiver, noting that it's still tied to the short orange cord of the the blue parachute.

  > jump
  You walk up to the cabin door, look out at the open sky and then prepare to jump out of the plane. You glance over at Joe lying on the cabin floor, clinging to life. You hope that his parachute will somehow save his life. You briefly inspect the red parachute and hope that you put it on correctly.
  
  You then grab the side of the door jam, bend one knee and jump. You actually catch yourself screaming "Geronimo!" as you clear the plane.
  
  The radio receiver is ripped from your hand since it was tied to Joe's parachute in the plane.

  > open the door
  You open the door and the wind almost knocks you back.
  
  The plane appears as if it's on the verge of going into a nose dive. You don't have much time left.
  
  > jump
  You walk up to the cabin door, look out at the open sky and then prepare to jump out of the plane. You glance down at Joe, clinging to life. You hope that his parachute will come through for him. You briefly inspect the red parachute and hope that you put it on correctly.

  > pull black cord
  You yank on the long black cord and it separates from the red parachute. Uh oh. You let go of it.
  
  You're beginning to wonder how much longer you have before impact.
  
  > pull the white cord
  You pull the short white cord and the red parachute begins to open. Your body jerks back and you lose your grip on Joe. His body slips through your hands and you helplessly watch his body fall toward Earth. The radio receiver also slips through your fingers, and you watch it and Joe silently fall toward the ground.
  
  Meanwhile, your descent toward Earth slows down tremendously.
  
  > pull the black
  You tug at the long black cord, but nothing happens.

  > drop Joe
  You let Joe go and watch him slowly move away from you. Gravity is a wonderful thing. Joe only floats away several feet because you're still holding on to the radio receiver which is attached to the blue parachute.
  
  You're beginning to wonder how much longer you have before impact.
  
  > pull the receiver cord
  You pull the receiver cord, which in turn pulls the short orange cord and Joe's parachute begins to open. The receiver is then ripped from your hand and snaps toward the blue parachute. Joe's body then shoots straight up into the sky, or at least it appears that way. In reality, you're falling thirty-two feet per second and Joe is leisurely drifting toward Earth.
  
  > pull the black
  You yank on the long black cord and it separates from the red parachute. Uh oh. You let go of it.
  
  You're starting to panic.
  
  > pull white
  You pull the short white cord and the red parachute begins to open. Your body jerks back as your descent toward Earth slows down immensely.
  
  > wait for a while
  Time passes...
  
  While floating to Earth, you watch in horror as Joe's airplane crashes into a small body of water. It appears as if nobody got hurt, apart from some poor fish. A moment later, the Cessna disappears under water.
