[[You die by jaywalking in front of a fast-moving car|end_times]] 'cause I didn't have enough time to write this path!

The alleys are dark and you speed up. <<replace>>You hear sharp footsteps behind you.<<becomes>>You hear them getting closer.<<becomes>>You know you are in trouble...<<becomes>>You [[turn around|turn_around]] to face your fears!<<endreplace>>

It was raining and you were late for your own birthday party. The muggy, empty streets of Chicago were depressive and somber but that wasn't going to ruin your mood. Not today, not right now. As your footsteps echoed, you thought of all the things that were happening right now at the restaurant.\n\n<<replace>>Adam is already drunk<<becomes>>Jenn is draining the life of whoever she was talking at<<becomes>>Phil is planing the path through the buffet to maximize the variety of food he'll eat<<becomes>> [[If you could only be there| only_be_there]]<<endreplace>>

Two thugs with revolver pointed at your head.\n\n"Give me your wallet asshole! Do you want to die?! Then hury the hell up!" screamed the taller one on the left as he pushed the gun against my forehead.\n\nYou had no choice but they did look like rookies. You could [[give them the wallet|give_wallet]] or [[have a story to tell later tonight|story_time]].

You had choices to this dilemma:\n- You could [[take the north-bound bus|north_bound_bus]] and make it in time but you'd have to walk 10 minutes in the opposite direction.\n- Maybe [[running there|running_there]] isn't such a bad idea, but you don't have the shoes for it.\n- Option of last resort: [[go through the alleys|go_through_alleys]] and be there on time but the dark corners of this city are not to be taken lightly.

As you see your own body from above, you knew you were never going to make it there. \n\nYou can only wonder now <<replace>>who will feed your cat?<<becomes>> who will notice you missing first?<<becomes>> what reaction will your ex have when the news reach?<<becomes>>about things that don't matter.\n\nIf you could have only [[done things differently|15_min_ago]]\n<<endreplace>>

You stand over your dead body wondering how this happened. Was it a bad decision or just an unlucky draw of the cards?\n\nThe events unfolded [[only 15 minutes ago|15_min_ago]] but during that time, you went from being alive and having great plans for that bathroom granite to being the next crime statistic.

You offer them the wallte affraid for your lie. The thug on the right grabs it and takes your $17 out of it.\n\n"Where the rest?! Huh?! Don't f#*$ with us!" - he yelled.\n\nYou try to explain but the in the corner of the eye you see a flash from the gun and a searing pain through your chest. Looking down, a pool of blood is collecting in your hand as you hear them running away. A calm washes over you as you slouch forward and exale for the last time. You always knew that you'd die but never thought that it would be [[like this|end_times]].

The End Times

[[You die by slipping on the stairs as you enter the bus|end_times]] 'cause I didn't have enough time to finish this path!

You grab the hand holding the gun but before you know it, a left hook of the other thug hits your jaw and you hear the snaps of the bone resonate through your skull. You lose the grip of the gun and hear a muffled gunshot and a jolt of energy shoot up from your stomach. As you lose your balance and fall over, you see a puddle of your blood filling the pavement near your eyes. [[You close your eyes as you're feeling tired|end_times]].
