"The Journey of a Sperm" by "whiskers75".
Testis is a room.
The maximum score is 1.
The description of Testis is "You are inside the testis (or ball) of a human, where you were made. Other sperm are being formed here. To the north is the epididymis. (Help: To move north, type NORTH. You can look at your self - type EXAMINE ME. You can also examine other stuff - for example EXAMINE EXPLOSION. Look around with LOOK.)".
The description of the player is "I have an acrosome on my head, mitochondria in my tummy and a nice long flagellum (tail) at the end. Oh, and I carry male chromosomes.".
Check quitting the game: 
say "You're sure? You may want to SAVE first. "; 
if player consents, say "[line break]oh COME ON! It's not _that_ bad![line break]"; 
otherwise stop the action.
Understand "help" as a mistake ("Help: (You can type anything in capitals) You can move around with compass directions: N, S, E, W. Wait a turn by LOOKing. eXamining is fun. (X thing)").
Charlotte is in Testis.
Charlotte is fixed in place.
The description of Charlotte is "Another sperm is here. She carries female chromosomes and is called Charlotte. Unfortunately, she was made with two tails and can't swim properly!".
Epididymis is a room.
Epididymis is north of Testis.
The description of Epididymis is "You have left the testis and you're now in the epididymis, a long squiggly tube next to the testis. There are lots of other sperm here! To the east is a closed opening.".
Sperm Tube 1 is a room.
The description of Sperm Tube 1 is "You have moved into a tube. From your perspective, there are TONS of sperm here. The only way forward in this tube is north.".
Sperm Tube 2 is a room.
Instead of going north while in Sperm Tube 1:
now the player is in Sperm Tube 2;
say "You just got stuff splatted on you by some glands.[line break]You see an opening ahead of you. (You may want to look at yourself.)";
now the description of the player is "I'm now part of a group. We're all in some semen, swimming together.".
The description of Sperm Tube 2 is "There's an opening ahead. You and the other sperm are swimming towards it. One more movement and you might be there! (Go north)".
The Oviduct is a room.
Instead of going north while in Sperm Tube 2:
say "Whee! Here we go - past the cervix! This is so fun! Oh. What's this place, then?";
now the player is in The Oviduct.
The description of The Oviduct is "You are in the oviduct, and you can go east or west here. The decision you make will either win or lose the game here."
Instead of going west while in The Oviduct:
say "Is that... an egg?";
increase score by 1;
end the game saying "You Win! You will go on to make a human baby.".
Instead of going east while in The Oviduct:
say "Uh oh.. I can't see anything.";
end the game saying "You lose and will perish, as you cannot find your way back.".
Instead of going east while in Epididymis:
say "Suddenly, the opening in the epididymis opens, and you swim through it.";
now the player is in Sperm Tube 1.
