text: You reach the gas station just in time. The truck sputters up to the gas pump. There are two other vehicles pulled up to the Mini-Mart entrance. A red mini-van and an 18 wheeler...well, just the cab.
  
  You notice the gas pump is missing it's nozzle. A sign hangs over the pump that reads "Out of gas." On further observation, you notice all four pumps have the same sign hanging over them.
  
  Great!!! Now what?
  
  You notice people moving about in the mart. The lights are bright but you are too far to see what is going on inside.
  
  It seems that a man and a woman are walking around the store and another is behind the counter.
  
  What do you do?...you need fuel somehow.
  > try to find the restroom on your own?
  You leave your truck and walk around the side of the mini-mart and enter a dimly lit back alley. You locate the men's bathroom at end of the alley. At the end of the alley is a metal gate that swings open and then crashes closed. You hear footsteps from beyond the gate entrance.
  
  Shrugging your shoulders you enter the smelly, one stall bathroom and lay paper over the toilet seat before sitting down to do your business. You begin whistling and studying the displays of artwork that litter the stall walls. One in particular catches your eye.
  
  It's a hideous picture of a shadow standing over a dead body and a two horned beast climbing out of the dead body's stomach. The shadow has a large hook in place of a right hand. Underneath  the drawing written in large, red letters are the words CANDYMAN repeated five times. 
  
  Someone really took some time drawing this masterpiece in this stinky stall and it gives you the creeps.
  
  You quickly finish your business and leave the stall. You start to wash your hands when you look up into the mirror and see a black man wearing a brown leather jacket standing right behind you. You whirl around to find nobody there. You glance back at the mirror and the man is gone.
  
  Man, I'm losing it!! you think.
  
  Just as you  are about to leave the bathroom you notice the mirror begin to ripple and shake violently finally breaking all over the filthy floor. A hole was dug into the  wall behind the mirror and a 9 millimeter handgun and a small flashlight is stashed in the hole. You check the gun for  bullets and find one in the chamber and 2 left in the clip.
  
  Man, I am really losing it now!!!
  
  Do  you grab  the gun and flashlight or is it wiser to just leave those things alone?
  > grab the contents in the hidden hole
  Shoving the gun down the back of your pants, you feel the muzzle touch the top of your butt crack.
  
  Whoa!! That's cold!! you think. They always seem to do it on TV no problem.
  
  You exit the restroom and begin to trace your steps back toward the front of the mini-mart.
  
  "Come with me....my sweet!!" bellows a low voice that shakes your brain.
  
  Something touches your right shoulder. Something sharp and cold.
  
  Come with me......
  
   You slowly turn around and see the same black man...his eyes fixated on yours. You begin to feel light headed. You stumble back and the figure catches you in his arms. He hugs you close and begins to speak...
  
  Like so many others...I was filled with dreams and sharing them with the one that I loved. Just as the tragic death of Romeo and Juliet, this love was not to be but I was to suffer a black slaves fate...and forever ramain...in purgatory.
  
  Even though your head is shoved close to his chest, you hear no heartbeat, no respirations, just a rumbling that seems to take over his body.
  
  He releases you and you quickly back away from the cloaked figure as he begins to shake uncontrollably.
  
  "Bring me a bride so that I may rest....."
  
  His mouth opens wide and hundreds of buzzing insects pour from it, obscuring his face! Soon his whole body is covered in bees!!
  
  You remember the gun in your pants and quickly pull it out and point it at the buzzing mass before you.
  
  What will you do...
  > shoot at the figure
  You stare in awe at the swirling mass as it suddenly flies away from you, past the open gate and into the darkness.
  
  What the... you think. .
  
  After a few minutes you holster your gun and contemplate on what to do next.
  
  Suddenly from a short distance you hear..."Find my bride...or I will never leave you...my sweet."
  
   
  > check the restroom.
  Slamming the door behind you, you start to think of what to do next. This whole night has become something of a nightmare.
  
  You turn to inspect the room and walk back into the filthy stall. To your amazement you find it occupied. A man seems to be sitting on the toilet, slumped over against the wall. The light over the sink poorly lights up the stall due to the metal barrier separating it from the rest of the room.
  
  Suddenly, the figure snaps to attention sitting posture perfect on the toilet. You can't quite tell who this person is or what he is up to but the sudden movement made you jump, your heart pounding at full capacity.
  
  You grab the small flashlight you found earlier and shine it at the dark figure finding you face to face with the same black man you just met before. His face is contorted in a huge grin, his eyes missing their pupils. The eye balls seem to pulsate...almost bulging from their sockets.
  
  The mouth opens again...no bees. Just laughter....HA HE HE HE HE HA....CANDYMAN.....HE HE...CANDYMAN......HAHA HEHEH CANDYMAN...HA HA CANDYMAN....
  
  The man raises his arm and exposes a large hook on the end instead of a hand. It begins to scrape across the metal barrrier...across the creepy image of a man exiting out of the bowels of the devil.
  
  In horror, you drop the flashlight.......the figure beginning to rise off his putrid throne.
  
  HE HE HE CANDYMAN....
  
  The hook quickly swings in your direction, moving at your throat.
  
  Before you know it, blood spews from your neck and you fall too your knees. Looking up at your murderer standing before you, he begins to unbutton his filthy, ragged shirt exposing hundreds of bees.
  
  Tears escape your eyes...you know this is the last image you will ever see...before the bees cover your lifeless body....cover all the blood.
  
  THE END
  
  YOU HAVE REACHED THE "CANDYMAN" ENDING.
