  I was stuck in Professor Gruffern class watching my fellow magicians-in-training take their turns trying to hit the huge target in the middle of the room. So far none of them had made it to the bulls-eye or even gotten within three rings distance of it. I was busy watching the latest failed attempt that took the hat clean off Professor Gruffern, when he called me up. I got up and not really caring shot a bolt of power in the direction of the target. It missed and hit Professor Gruffern's desk. I could tell from the look in his eye that he was done with all the failings, and he was going to take it out on me. "Total point deduction," he practically screamed as spit flew out of his mouth. I knew I could shoot another bolt before he made me sit down.
  
  > give you a break, you got this.
  I knew I had limited time before Professor Gruffern realized I was going to try again so I gathered a little of my energy and shot the target. Instantly I knew I had made a mistake because the bolt completely destroyed the target and the stand. Professor Gruffern stopped screaming and stood there with his mouth hanging open. I gave a smug smile even though on the inside I knew I was in trouble. Professor Gruffern slowly regained his composure and called me out into the hall. He had no sooner than shut the door than he turned and asked, "How did you do that? That power was so strong, but how are you still conscious?"
  
  > tell him that wasn't all of your power.
  I knew I needed to confide in someone because it has been a heavy burden on my shoulders ever since I found out I was one of the strongest, if not the strongest magician of my time. I looked at him and said, "Professor that was only a little of my power, and believe it or not I do not feel tired in the least." The Professor immediately looked at me and said a spell. I knew he was searching for the glow of my power (magicians had a certain glow depending on their power), and since I wanting to come clean I removed the spell that dimmed my light. The Professor screamed in pain, and I quickly redid the spell. He acted like a blind man for a while before his pupils went to their normal size. I got the impression that he now viewed me with hope but also as a potential threat. He looked at me with a mixture of fear and awe on his face and quickly demanded that I go to see the Headmaster.

  > keep it a secret and claim you're not feeling well.
  I knew I couldn't tell him because I had kept it from what little friends I had and if they knew I was keeping a secret from them I wouldn't have any friends, and besides something about him warned me that he wasn't to be trusted. I looked for a way out and decided to pretend I wasn't feeling good. "I'm not feeling good, Professor so with your consent I'd like to go to my dorm." He grabbed my arm roughly and told me that I needed to answer him first and started pulling me towards his office. Immediately an alarm went off in my head.
  
  > Need to play along for a little bit.
  I pulled my arm out of his grasp and said, "I'd rather do it myself." I walked ahead and just came around a corner when a great idea struck me. Ahead of me was Professor Terrenta and I knew it was the perfect place to make my escape. I walked straight for her but she didn't really pay much attention to me. I heard Professor Guffern come around the corner, and upon seeing what was going to happen, started running at us. I watched in complete amusment as Professor Terrenta's face fell into total fear and shock. I looked behind me and tried to feign being scared. I turned back to Professor Terrenta when she dropped all her books and screamed an incantation. Professor Guffern suddenly fell back like he had run into a brick wall. I wanted to laugh because he just might have and Professor Guffern wasn't a man who ran and he had been running full speed. I knew if I wanted to escape now was my chance.
  
  > see ya!
  There was no way I was staying around there. So I ran into a closet and waited. I was in there for so long that I fell asleep but then an awful smell woke me up. I peeked through the door and saw Malture, an evil twisted creature that was a danger to the magical realm. Suddenly I was teleported to a forest but luckily I was behind a tree. I was suddenly filled with a strong urge to take him out.
  
  > He might be too strong, you can't attack him now.
  Something was warning me no to draw attention to my self so I turned to go. I turned but I forgot to look where I was going. I narrowly avoided running into a tree when I made a run for it. But I forgot about the wolf because all of a sudden it was on me, ripping me to pieces.

  > do it!
  Realization hit me and I knew Malture was going down. I called as loud as I could to Malture and he turned. His face twisted into something that could only remotely be thought of as a smile. "Yes puny one," he asked. "Your time is over," I yelled and quickly muttered and incantation. A pure blue light burst from my hands and hit Malture in the chest. He stumbled, fell and lay still.

  > You're definitely going to go see him, because he can teach you!
  The prospect of meeting someone who was as strong as I was or stronger was the overbearing emotion and I basically ran to the Headmasters office. Professor Guffern a forgotten figure behind me. I had to wait for the Professor to catch up because he had to introduce me. He went in and about five minutes later I was invited in. I walked in my hopes high but they were dashed to pieces by the image of the Headmaster transforming into Malture, the most evil creature in the magic realm. I tried to protect myself but I was really high strung I messed up on the words. I saw a blinding light and only had time to see Malture laugh evilly before I was lost to the tortures of my mind.

  > You're leaving now.
  There was no way I was going to the Headmasters office right then so I prepared my body for the unpleasant task I needed it to do. I knew I had only a few moments so I said and incantation that I knew would make me throw up. Immediately the sick feeling coursed through me, I felt the bile rise in my throat, and I threw up. He looked at me in disgust and demanded that I go to my dorm.
  
  > To the dorms!
  I was going to go to the dorms but then I felt a pull. Something was pulling me towards an uninhabited classroom, and that's where I went. I entered the room and saw a weird hooded figure in the corner of it. It said in a low voice, "I know something that would greatly benefit you. If you would just follow me..."

  > You're getting outta here!
  This was definitely my chance to get out and go to the dorms so I muttered an excuse and left for the dorms. I was about 300 yards away from my dorm when I was confronted by my arch nemesis; Moth and his three goons. Moth with a snide look on his face asked if I had any money with me.[Themes: sci-fi, war, science fiction, serious]
  
  6:00 PM
  
  You are Ben Smith, a simple white-collar office worker in New York City. One day, a few hours after work, the lights go out. Around you is your Apartment engrossed in darkness. There is only an hour or 2 before the sun falls totally and it becomes very dark...
  
  Screams come off the street, alerting you to a horrific scene. Housepets, wild dogs, deer and other animals are running down people and killing them. All people armed fire at the creatures, but the mass of them survives in whole. The police are being overwhelmed, and the national guard is trying to hold Times Square. All the electricity is off. You pull your shades down and lock your door, hiding yourself. Your food should hold for days.
  
  What do you want to do?
  
  [Author's Note: An ancient tomb is opened by unsuspecting grave robbers, unleashing the wrath of the ancient pharaohs, causing a monster to rise, controlling all creatures in the world with a HIVE MIND. This is a rather short game, and is here mostly as a first attempt as a game. There is an Evil ending, a few bad endings, multiple Neutral endings, and a good ending.]
  
  > want to do something...
  6:05 PM
  
  You pace around the room, straining to think of something to do. A few ideas pop into your head, and you try to decide between them.
  
  > gather all the neighbors and defend your homes.
  6:30 PM
  
  Thanks to your foresight,
  the neighbors gather and barricade the stairway door. The chaos is raging in the street, and most people are still scared out of their wits. A man names Gunther says he has a rifle, and retreives it. Everyone arms themselves, save for the children and the weak who hide in your apartment.
  
  7:10 PM
  
  Everyone is resting and talking when they are all shaken by pounding on the door. Feral wolves bark and slam into the door with all they have. Earlier, some of the adults had constructed some crude traps outside and just inside the door, and it appears the wolves are trapped. A few people go outside to kill them, when a scientist yells, "WAIT!"
  
  He claims he wants to study the creatures and find out why they went so violent suddenly. He also says he can find a way to kill them faster and more efficently.
  
  > get a wolf inside for him to examine
  7:20 PM
  
  The wolf is dragged inside, its leg rendered useless by the improvised bear trap. The other wolves are put down,
  not taking any unnecessary risks. The scientist sets up an apartment mostly empty, other than a table in the middle. He studies the wolf intently.
  
  The barricade is reset and the traps are in the process of being rebuilt when a BEAR arrives outside. It slams into the door, roaring and clawing. The defenders curse, yelling, "We aren't ready!" They hold the door as long as they can, for about 10 minutes, which is pretty good for our resources.
  
  Just as the bear breaks in and the people begin fighting desperately, the scientist shouts, "Eurika!"
  
  You run in and find the wolf dead. "How is this helpful?" you ask. "Because," the scientist begins, "All I did was flash a light directly in its eye! Direct light kills them!"
  
  You grab a flashlight, and sure enough the bear dies upon shining its eye.
  
  Everyone sets up lights around the hall, turning it into a fortress, as long as you keep the lights powered by batteries. You are effictively safe.
  
  > live here for a while
  The Next Day
  
  The night was easily survived due to the lighting, and you noticed the creatures retreat into the darkness during the 11:00 to 2:00 period of max light. The people begin to go outside and get supplies. This lifestyle lasts for a
  long time, effectively securing your survival.
