So, the storygame I'm currently working on was going well until I met a stop.

Nobody was around her currently. The uncomfortable silence made her squirm. She was still a little tired from this morning, so she turns the sign to "Closed" She lies back in the chair and closes her eyes.

For anybody who wants some context about what the duck is happening, Andrea, the main character's mom, went inside for a break because they're working at a stand. Sarah, the main character, is now running the stand alone. She decides to close her eyes and take a nap. 

But, I know don't know how to continue.

She has a nice dream.  Then her mom comes in and tells her that they've lost everything on horse racing.  There.  That's appropriate.  I had to censor the first several things I wrote.

She hears someone say her name, and when she looks her dad is standing there. He left without a word eight years ago and she hasn't seen him since, only had a phone call or two.

He looks her dead in the eye and, voice choked with emotion, he says, "Sarah honey. I lost all my money at the horse races six months ago. I'm homeless now and I need you to help me convince your mom to let me move back in again."

She hears a rumbling. Then she realizes it is coming from within. She clenches and her eyes open in fear: there is no way she is going to make it to the bathroom.

Absolutely not. I've spent more than enough time purging *those* stories.

He meant to say insects. Suddenly she hears a sound like an airplane and an angry swarm of bees comes down the street right towards the marketplace.

Bees? In this case maybe it should be something less... controversial? Some praying mantises? Or a few moths?

That's a picture of Thara, not AL. Thara is a fangirl in her twenties and the joke is that she's End's adopted internet daughter. It was made to try and make her obsession seem more innocent and wholesome, but, didn't quite accomplish that goal.

Just some context so that people not in the know don't get uhhh, any wrong ideas.

Well obviously, sleeping at the stand will result in it being overrun in filthy hobos and her waking up to see the place totally ransacked with empty cartons of boxed wine and malt 40s laying all over the place.

Her mom will walk back in and loudly exclaim "SARAH! YOU GOT SOME 'SPLAINING TO DO!"

But she didnt quite fall asleep.

It was quiet.

Too quiet.

A rumbling bursts her ear drums, and from down the steet, thousands of angry cows stampede through the neighborhood. They barrel through old ladies, destroy houses, flip cars.

 

Andrea scrambles through the doorway, stopping dead in her tracks.

"Mom?"

"Moo."

Nobody was around her currently. The uncomfortable silence made her squirm. She was still a little tired from this morning, so she turns the sign to "Closed" She lies back in the chair and closes her eyes.

Then, the loud crack of a crow. It was coming through the window. She blinked a few times. Then a few more. And again, even more.

Eventually, she didn't blink at all. And then the sound of the crow waking up came through the window.

Now, the crow had a large axe in its talons. It had a big long horn on the end of the axe, which was the best sign to scare the f*ck out of the kid. She had been sleeping in the corner and the crow was following her.

The crow stepped over to the child. It had a small bird on it's head. It had a horn on it's head. It had a bird-like head with a tiny bird on it's face. Its eyes and mouth looked like a dragon. It looked like a dragon with a large mouth that was extending towards it.

The bird on the crow's head and on the dragon's head started to glow in the dark room. The bird on the crow's head and the dragon on the dragon's head just floated.

The crow and the dragon started to fly towards the child. The crow flew towards the her chair. The dragon landed on the chair, next to the chair. Sarah woke up.

"Excuse me, young ma'am, but do you have the times?"
