>You wake up

> sketch stalagmite, because the A Small Notebook deserves pretty scenery too
You draw the stalagmite on the page facing the face.
You don't manage to quiet capture the fact that it is definitely not glowing.
The face actually smiled, even if it's still annoyed.

>Look ball of light above head
It emits light. The light is red.
It appears to be following you.

 

> contemplate how you got here

 

>continue walking north-northeast
Okay.
The stalagmite is no longer visible.
There is only darkness outside your circle of red light.
>contemplate how you got here
You honestly have no idea.
The last thing you remember is staring out the window at a cat.

 

> try to remember what place the window was in

 

> try to remember what place the window was in
It was... it was... in your third floor walk up.
Right?

 

>look south-southwest for a definitely-not-glow

 

>look south-southwest for a definitely-not-a-glow
The definitely not a glow is quietly pulsing, but you can't tell that it's a stalagmite from here.
You know it is one, however.

 

> contemplate where you live

 

>find rock

 

> contemplate where you live
You live on a third floor walk up.
Or wait.
You live in a small house in a suburb of a big city.
No, definitely the third floor walk up.
The life in the suburb was.
It was.

 

>find rock
You find a small, smooth, black rock.

 

>go back to stalagmite
>try to cut stalagmite with knife

 

> throw rock in north-northeast direction

 

>throw rock at red light

 

>go back to stalagmite
You return to the stalagmite. It is definitely not glowing.
>try to cut stalagmite with knife
This will not go anywh-
A small chip of the stalagmite breaks off, though there is now a small nick in the knifeblade.
You add "Not Glowing Rock" to your pockets.
>throw rock in north-northeast direction
There is the sound of a rock hitting a wall.
It is more than twenty feet away.
But possibly only barely.
Good throw.
>throw rock at red light
You do not have a rock.

 

> find another rock

 

>go north-northeast
>follow wall

 

>Touch wall as you walk

 

>find another rock
You find another rock. This one is rougher, and vaguely cube shaped. It sparkles, not with anything unnatural, just because rocks do that sometimes.

>go north-northeast
There is a totally not glowing stalagmite to the south-southwest
>follow wall
You are not yet at the wall

>Touch wall as you walk
You are not yet at the wall

 

> throw rock at glowing red light
