text: Welcome to Lancaster County, Pennsylvania! You were born and raised in the Amish congregation of this region. Your society's culture developed out of the Mennonite faith after a group of Mennonites separated from their church in the 17th century. They didn't think that the Mennonite practices were strict enough. The Amish originally lived in Switzerland & south of the Rhine river, however their migration to America began in the 18th century. Most moved into Pennsylvania but others moved to Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, and Ohio, totaling 180,000 Amish over 22 states. The Amish work to preserve rural, late 17th century European culture by isolating themselves from American culture, modernization, and globalization. This isolation is due to your people's belief that you are "God's own people".

  Your morning starts with a traditional Amish Prayer. You get dressed in your plain, modest, calf-length dress with a cape, bonnet, and apron. You eat a healthy and wholesome breakfast of eggs and bread that was made without an electric stove. Your society refuses to uses main electricity, but accepts self-generated energy.This means that your home does not have a television, computer, landline telephone, or mobile phone. You embrace the lack of telephones in your community because it encourages face-to-face communication. While sitting at the table, your mother tells you to sweep, feed the animals, and make the beds in the traditional language of your people, Pennsylvania German. She says "that should be sufficient".

  The year is 1846. You are a slave. You are 17 years old and you have been a slave all your life. You live in Mississippi on a plantation. Your father is called Lester. He was brought on a ship from Africa 20 years ago. He was sold to a cruel plantation owner who forced him to marry another slave. Lester said that she was beautiful. The master forced them to breed so he could have more slaves. She had 3 children, and you are the youngest of them. She died of complications in childbirth. Your brothers are Adam and Ben, the oldest is Adam.
  
  [Author's Note: This is a project I made for school. I've updated it a bit since last time, adding some more choices to the story including a bad ending and a sorta-bad ending. It is about you, a slave who will escape to Canada. There will be a variety of dangers including slave catchers and starvation. Have fun!]
  
  > But you, what is your name?
  
  > Bill
  Life on the plantation was rough. You worked 15 hours a day and you were subject to whippings if you did not pick your quota of cotton. You go to sleep one night. All of a sudden, you wake up and you hear some whisperings in the cabin. As you look up, you see a group of slaves talking to each-other. What do you do?
  
  > approach the group and listen to what is being said.
  You approach and begin to listen to what the men are saying. They say they are planning a revolt against the slave owners. Some talk of going to Canada while others wish to go south the Mexico. When you look at the group, you realize that a hastily planned revolt like this would never succeed. The thought pops in your mind, what if you lead the revolt? Or what if you escaped on your own at another time and didn't risk dying during the revolt? What do you do?
  
  > join in the Revolt!
  You see another slave who seems to be in charge of this revolt, but you know a revolt is dangerous, and it could easily fail. Maybe you should escape on your own?
  
  What do you do?
  
  > Don't join in the revolt, but escape on your own later.
  This is a good idea. You decide you will need food, so you stash a bit of your food you get every morning for a week. Its tough to do this, as the food you are given is barely enough to get by. The lack of food really gets to you, and you are barely picking your quota of cotton every day. After the week, you look at your supplies and decide it is not enough food to get out of Mississippi.
  
  What do you do?
  
  > go on anyway.
  After a few nights you think its time to go. You run through the forest quickly, holding your sack over your shoulder.
  
  You know that you need to go north, so you run to where you think north is. However after a couple of days in the wilderness, you eat all your food and starve to death.
