  The year is 2020, and the world is experiencing an apocalypse. A virus, which originated in Asia, has spread to the United States. The virus is causing humans to turn into zombies. If you are bitten by a zombie, you will die slowly and eventually turn into one.
  
  > An Apocalypse? Can you tell you more?
  There's not much to tell. What I've already told you is all I know.[Themes: sci-fi, science fiction]
  
  It's late in the night and you've been up for the past hour typing a paper for a class. You've been slaving on the computer for hours, and your body is heavy and in need of rest. The sugar rush from the junk food you've eaten has also died down, and is making you more sleepy. Being the determined person you are, you must finish- but you're not even close to being done with the paper. A nice nap would be nice, you thought. You slowly turn your head to see the comfy bed that is calling your name. Take a nap, or finish the paper?
  
  [Author's Note: In the midst of finishing a paper and a possible ending of the world, just what will a determined student do to finish the paper and save the earth in the process?]
  
  > Finish Paper
  Determined to finish the paper and drained out of your senses, you drink your last available energy drink in hopes that it'll push you to finish. The more you drink, the more energized you feel! You finally get to the ending of your paper. You sigh in relief as you type the last word. As you tidy up the paper you decide to save it. But as you hit the save button, the worst happens. A federal seal mysteriously pops up on your computer screen, blocking you from accessing your computer! A virus! you thought. Now freaking out, you attempt to restart the computer- but to no use the computer does not respond. You suddenly hear a knock at the door, but who could be knocking at 2 AM?! You open the door and to your udder surprise, two tall men are at the door, sporting police badges. You're going to be arrested! They say nothing to you as they confiscate your laptop and then handcuff you. Looking at them you notice they are not dressed in their official police attire and are donning a pair of dark glasses. You start to realize they are clearly not who they say they are, as they put you in the backseat of a car. What do they want with me? Why do they want my laptop? You think to yourself. As you figure out a way to get out of this mess, one of your handcuffs come loose- a ray of hope! You grab your laptop from the front seat and escape! Into the busy street you go, with the men chasing after you. There's a taxi on the side of you and the subway just a sprint away. What do you do? *Traffic is heavy*
  
  Get in taxi or head to the subway?
  
  > head to the subway
  You frantically push through the busy crowds as you run away from the suspicious guys that are tracking you down. With your laptop in hand you head to the nearest subway car, finally escaping them. As you take a sigh of relief you finally sit down. As you plan your next move, you try and see what's wrong with your computer. With no phone and scared to go back home, you ask the person sitting next you if you can borrow their phone- so you can contact the nearest friend you know. The person sitting next you agrees, but as you are on the phone, he glances at your computer and suddenly snatches it from your lap. As the subway car stops, he dashes away. What do you do now?
  
  > get that darn computer!
  Gosh darnit, not again! You now pursue the mystery man who confiscated your laptop down the crowded streets. As you chase after him, you decide to dial 911. To your surprise 911 doesn't respond. How can this be? You thought. The mystery man then goes through a door in a dark and empty alleyway. As you go inside, there are 2 doors on each side of you leading down a creepy, damp hall. You see a large wooden baseball bat behind the door. As nothing else will protect you, you have no choice but to arm yourself with the bat. One of the 4 doors will lead you to the mystery man, but which one will you choose?
  
  > Door 3
  Hazaa! You've found the mystery man in room three. And what a strange room it is- the entire place is actually a lab! All sorts of strange devices are all around you, with beams of light and beeping noises extracting from their bodies. You see the mystery man now donning a white lab coat, hooking your computer up to another one of his strange contraptions. What the heck is going on! You thought. The mystery man tells you that your laptop is wanted by aliens from another galaxy and they've come down here in disguise to retrieve it- the fake policemen. Aliens?! The laptop's components contain a resource the aliens need, and that is why they were after you. He then explains to you that he is trying to extract it from the laptop and destroy it- the resource and your laptop will be destroyed in the process. But being the determined student you are, you must finish that paper. What do you do now?
  
  > NEED TO FINISH MY PAPER, CRAZY MAN!
  You walk over to the man and attempt to snatch the laptop free from the wires. As the tug-o-war between you, the laptop, and the man seems to be endless, the man suddenly lets go. You fly into the machine against the wall, hurting your back. As you manage to get up you notice the machine starts to glow and beep noisily. You must have pressed into the machine's buttons upon falling, and now it's overreacting. The mystery man says that you've disrupted his time machine! A loud noise is then made at the door- the aliens in disguise have appeared. They've tracked you both here to retrieve the laptop. WHAT IS HAPPENING? You think to yourself. The machine is starting to go haywire. In a flash, you all are beamed cosmic vortex.
  
  > NEED TO FINISH MY PAPER, CRAZY MAN! (pt2)
  Hurtled into a beam of cosmic rays, the four of you are! Twirling and spinning in the vortex the mystery man manages to give you a device- the remote to the time machine. The mystery man tells you to turn the dial to a certain time period before the vortex sends you to a parallel universe. But which time period do you choose to go to?
  
  > 1980
  Refuge in the bright 80's. You safely arrive with the mystery man and the lap top. But it won't be long before the aliens teleport shortly after, tracking you down. As you run with the mystery man, he hands you a small crystal ball with a blue bottom on the surface. He tells you to push the button and throw it at the aliens to destroy them. But what will it do? *you only have one shot to destroy the aliens*
  
  > Option 3
  You throw the crystal ball at the aliens and they are instantly vaporized. Free from their clutches, and the world being saved, you and the mystery man are teleported back into the vortex, safely on your way to your own time. It is morning when you get back, and your paper is due in the next 15 minutes. The mystery man tells you he can do the following:
  
  1. He can fix your computer, but it'll take the entire day
  
  2. The computer will be fixed, but anything you type on the computer, and words in your paper will show up as "buffalo"
  
  3. He can fix the computer, but your paper and other files will be lost. Which one will you choose?
  
  > Option 1
  HOORAYYY! Your teacher let you off easy this time and accepted you paper even though it was late! You later received an A for all your effort- you also saved the universe and didn't die! So stuff your face with tacos in celebration and call it a day!
