Front Porch Score: 10 Moves: 12 ÂOpening your gown reveals a thing your aunt gave you which you don't know what Âit is, a buffered analgesic, and pocket fluff. Â Â>take analgesic ÂYou swallow the tablet. After a few seconds the room begins to calm down and Âbehave in an orderly manner. Your terrible headache goes. Â Â>take screwdriver ÂTaken. Â Â>take toothbrush ÂAs you pick up the toothbrush a tree outside the window collapses. There is no Âcausal relationship between these two events. Â Â>go outside ÂYou make your way down to the front porch. Â ÂFront Porch ÂThis is the enclosed front porch of your home. Your front garden lies to the Âsouth, and you can re-enter your home to the north. ÂOn the doormat is a pile of junk mail. Â Â>

Front of House Score: 10 Moves: 14 ÂYou make your way down to the front porch. Â ÂFront Porch ÂThis is the enclosed front porch of your home. Your front garden lies to the Âsouth, and you can re-enter your home to the north. ÂOn the doormat is a pile of junk mail. Â Â>take mail ÂYou gather up the pile of mail. Â Â>go outside ÂFront of House ÂYou can enter your home to the north. A path leads around it to the northeast Âand northwest, and a country lane is visible to the south. All that lies between Âyour home and the huge yellow bulldozer bearing down on it is a few yards of Âmud. Â ÂMr. Prosser, from the local council, is standing on the other side of the Âbulldozer. He seems to be wearing a digital watch. He looks startled to see you Âemerge, and yells at you to get out of the way. ÂThe bulldozer rumbles slowly toward your home. Â Â>

Country Lane Score: 10 Moves: 14 ÂCountry Lane ÂThe road runs from your home, to the north, toward the village Pub, to the west. ÂThe bulldozer piles into the side of your home. Â ÂYour home collapses in a cloud of dust, and a stray flying brick hits you Âsquarely on the back of the head. You try to think of some suitable last words, Âbut what with the confusion of the moment and the spinning of your head, you are Âunable to compose anything pithy and expire in silence. Â Â>go south ÂYou keep out of this, you're dead. An ambulance arrives. Â Â>go south ÂYou keep out of this, you're dead and should be concentrating on developing a Âgood firm rigor mortis. You are put in the ambulance, which drives away. Â Â>go south ÂFor a dead person you are talking too much. As the ambulance reaches the Âmortuary a fleet of Vogon Constructor ships unexpectedly arrives and demolishes Âthe Earth to make way for a new hyperspace bypass. Â ÂWe are about to give you your score. Put on your peril-sensitive sunglasses now. Â(Hit RETURN or ENTER when ready.) >
