Country Lane Score: 10 Moves: 14 Country Lane The road runs from your home, to the north, toward the village Pub, to the west. The bulldozer piles into the side of your home. Your home collapses in a cloud of dust, and a stray flying brick hits you squarely on the back of the head.

An ambulance arrives. >go south You keep out of this, you're dead and should be concentrating on developing a good firm rigor mortis. You are put in the ambulance, which drives away. >go south For a dead person you are talking too much.
