The Train-Station is a room. "You are standing on the platform, to the north you see a train leaving very soon with the doors open, to the south you see the exit were the police are ready to arrest you."

The train is north. "You take a seat as the train begins to pull away,
for three hours you sit there until the train pulls into a station, you decide you want to get off. The exit of the train is south."

The City is a south. "You get off to see a vast city with many people, busy streets, and confusing laws. To the east is the ocean."

The ocean is east. "You walk on the white sands of the beach and reach a long dock with a cargo ship heading to the UK. The cargo ship is east."

the cargo ship is east. "As you knock out one of the crewmen you put on his uniform and work in the bowels of the ship. You finally arrive in the UK and you now need to get off, the exit of the ship is north."

Dover is north."Now you are hungry. You walk down the cobblestone streets until you reach a deli shop that is west."

The deli shop is west. "You order the biggest sand-which they have and eat it all in one sitting. Once you are done, you exit the deli shop and notice there is a motel to the east."

The motel is east. "Spending the night in the motel drained all the money from your wallet. You notice that you have a gun in your pocket from the crime that you committed, a few blocked down the road to the south is a bank."

The bank is south. "You walk into the bank  and up to the register, you say, 'I'd like to make a withdrawal' You place to gun on the counter with your finger on the trigger and stare at the cashier. She quietly without trying to get anybody's attention goes in the vault and returns with two handfuls of 100 dollar bills. She hands them to you and you stuff the money in your pockets with the gun and walk out of the bank. As you exit you hear sirens off in the distance getting closer and closer. You look around quickly looking for transportation were you see a running car with no-one in it. You jump in it and put the pedal to the metal. To the east is the airport."

The airport is east. "You park the car and run into the airport, you get in line to buy a ticket for Boston when the police arrive. You put up the hood and look forward in line. As police-men come through the door you get to the counter and buy the ticket with the cash. As start walking away one of the police-men yell 'Hey, you!' Without warning your legs pick up into a full sprint for gate number 7. You reach the gate just as it's closing and manage to get on the plane and take a seat just as it starts to take off. To the west is Boston."

Boston is west. "As the plane begins its decent towards the airport, you wonder if the police will be waiting for you. You get up and walk to the back of the plane where the parachutes are. You reach into your pocket and pull out the gun as you reach for one of the parachutes. As a steward walks up saying 'Please be seated while the plane is landing' As you turn around pointing the gun at the steward with one hand you put the parachute on. You walk to the plane door and open it. The open air is north."

Boston is west. "As you jump you realize at there isn't enough oxygen up this high and you hold your breath, You go vertical to reach lower altitude. Within thirty seconds you can breath again and concentrate on where you are, It looks like your right above Boston. When you think the time is right you pull the cord on the parachute and float safely down to the ground right next to the harbor. Everyone stops and stares as you unclip the parachute and run. The cruise is east."
