The Bar is a room. "As your eyes slowly open, the blinding lights of a bar come into focus. You glance around the room, and everything seems unfamiliar, causing a wave of confusion to wash over you. Suddenly, a flashback hits you, '[italic type]I remember being hit by a car, but how did I end up here?' [roman type][paragraph break]This wasn't your usual bar. You would recognize the sticky stools and the reek of booze, but here was different. You feel a sense of disorientation and start to wonder what happened to you during the time you were unconscious. You struggle to piece together your memories as the bartender looks at you, concerned. [paragraph break][bold type][italic type]Today you need to follow directions.[roman type]"

The bartender is a man in the Bar. "He turns to you as if he is aware of exactly what you're going through. He seems to be holding something back. [paragraph break][italic type][bold type]You should talk to the bartender. [roman type]"

The description of the bartender is "He has dark curly and seems to be cleaning some glasses with a white towel."

Instead of talking to Bartender:
	say "[bold type]CONVERSATION WITH THE BARTENDER: [paragraph break][roman type]'Excuse me, do you know how I got here?' you ask the bartender. [paragraph break][italic type]'What can I get for you?' he asks nervously. [paragraph break][roman type]You become more agitated and say, 'No, I don't want a drink. I want to know how I got here. The last thing I remember is being hit by a car.' [paragraph break][italic type]'Well, we have a great selection of drinks. What can I get for you?' [paragraph break][roman type]'Are you not listening to me? I need to know how I got here.' [paragraph break][italic type]'Look, buddy, I'm not a doctor or a therapist. Maybe you should go outside and get some fresh air.' [paragraph break][roman type]'That's it? Why won't you just tell me what happened?' [paragraph break][italic type]'I'm sorry, but I don't know how to help you. Maybe someone OUTSIDE can assist you.' [paragraph break][roman type]'This is ridiculous. Fine, I'll go outside.' [paragraph break][italic type][bold type]You need to go north. [roman type]";

The Parking Lot is north of The Bar. "The darkness of the night envelops you, and you feel a sudden contrast in the air as you step out of the building. The cool breeze hits you like a shock, a refreshing respite from the stuffy atmosphere inside. The smell of alcohol that once filled your senses has disappeared, replaced by a calm and peaceful stillness. [paragraph break]As you glance around, your eyes catch a black sedan parked not that far away from you. A creeping sense of unease settles in as you realize that you do not recognize the car, or own a black sedan. A sense of unease begins to grow as you realize nothing is making sense. [paragraph break][bold type][italic type]You need to examine the black sedan. You don't have many choices today. [roman type]"

The black sedan is a thing in the Parking Lot. The description of the black sedan is "A small black sedan is parked in front of you. The car's presence raises questions, enticing you to enter the car and figure out why the bartender lead me here. [paragraph break][bold type][italic type]You need to go north to enter the car."

The Car is north of the Parking Lot. "The inside of the car is absolutely empty. Nothing but the fabric seats and the keychain dangling from the ignition. As you settle into the driver's seat, you notice a note lying on the passenger's seat. [paragraph break][bold type][italic type]You must read the note. [roman type]"

The note is a written thing in the Car. The writing of the note is "[italic type]'There seems to be only one way you can go. Go north to drive.' [roman type]"

The Never-ending Road is north of the Car. "The feeling of the wind against your face was something that you always enjoyed when driving at night. As you drive down the familiar street, your surroundings appear distorted, with only your headlights illuminating a single lane stretching through endless fields on either side. [paragraph break]The bleak atmosphere is interrupted by a sudden broadcast on the radio detailing a fatal hit-and-run accident involving a high school student. [paragraph break][italic type]—Breaking news, we have just received reports of a fatal hit-and-run accident involving a high school student. The incident took place at the intersection of Elm Street and Main Street just moments ago. The victim was pronounced dead at the scene, and the driver responsible for the accident has fled— [paragraph break][roman type]You quickly turn off the radio. A sense of sympathy for the victim engulfs you, followed by a sharp pain in your head. You become unbelievebly dizzy and you struggle to stay alert as drowsiness consumes you. Suddenly, a girl emerges on the road ahead of you. You attempt to scream a warning but can only manage a weak whisper before a deafening crash envelops you."
