You put down your phone and immediately turn on the TV. They are talking about last night.\n\n[[Keep watching|KeepWatching]]

You see Wolf Man... Dracula...<<timedgoto "Turn3" 2s>>

Shadows envelope you.\n\n[[Go on...]]

You roll over, but you can't get back to sleep.\n\n[[Try to get up|GetUp]]

You turn on the TV. They are talking about last night.\n\n[[Keep watching|KeepWatching]]\n[[Turn it off|TurnItOff]]

Some strange force compells you to continue. Is it the money? Or something darker?\n\n[[Drive|Keep driving]]

“Yeah,” another band member says.\n\n[[Go to the castle anyway|Go inside]]\n[[“We should leave”]]

Now it's too late.<<timedgoto "TheEnd2" 4s>>

You drink a glass of water. Your head still pounds.\n\n[[Go into the living room|LivingRoom]]

“Ah, yes," the man replies. “The Crypt Kicker Five. Right this way...” He walks into the castle.\n\n[[Follow him|Follow him]]

You see Wolf Man... Dracula... and his son.\n\n[[Play your hit|Hit]]

You stare at the road in front of you, watching the painted lines go by.\n\n[[Drive]]

You keep watching. You feel sick.\n\n[[Keep scrolling|Scrolling2]]\n[[Put down your phone|PutDownPhone]]

You step into a great banquet hall.\n\n[[Look around|Look around]]

You knock.<<timedgoto "Knock2" 2s>>

They don’t like it anymore than you do.\n\n[[Later that night...|Later]]

“I should have done more.”\n\n[[But now...|TheEnd]]

Come on, man. How are you gonna pay your rent?\n\n[[Fine|Fine]]

You and the rest of the band drive up to the castle.\n\n[[Look up at it|LookUp]]\n[[Keep your eyes on the road]]

“The money, man...” one of your bandmates says.\n\n[[You all go up to the castle|Go inside]]

You keep driving. You have the strongest feeling you are going to die tonight.\n\n[[Keep driving|Keep driving]]\n[[Turn back]]

“Where?”\n\n[[Tell them|TellThem]]

You knock. A man with a hump opens the door.\n\n[[“We're the band|Band]]

But you do need the money.\n\n[[Yeah...|Fine]]\n[[No way, man|NoWay]]

You go into the living room. You see your phone sitting where you left it.\n\n[[Turn on the TV|TV]]\n[[Get on your phone|Phone]]

There is nothing you can do anymore.\n\n[[Keep scrolling|Scrolling4]]

You see Wolf Man...<<timedgoto "Turn2" 1s>>

The more you scroll, the worse you feel.\n\n[[Keep scrolling|Scrolling3]]

While you watch, a single thought keeps going through your head.\n\n[[What is it?|SingleThought]]

A single thought starts to repeat in the back of your mind.\n\n\n[[What is it?|SingleThought-Phone]]

It is silhouetted by the moon.\n\n[[Keep driving|Drive]]
