You are a Californian inmate firefighter, flying out to stop a wildfire in the sierras. You are also a native of this land, descendent of a proud line of firewalker shamans, but the blaze you're facing now is unlike anything you've ever seen. As you stand before it with your high-powered chainsaw, you'll will have to face the demons of your past. Depending on your choices, you may emerge tempered, reforged, or burned to a crisp. The choice is yours, big guy.

This is a game for adults. It has a fair bit of gore, violence, sexual elements, and touches on offensive topics. If that's not for you, turn around now, this site has plenty of other content that you will like better.

You will typically reach an end of the story within 15 pages or so.

This is an entry for Sherbet's "Summer's End Synnery Contest". (I wanted it to be Quentin Tarantino, but it turned out David Lynch.)

Thank you both for the advice. Got to edit this a bit more.

OK, here is the first page of a new story I am writing: --- There's no heaven for cops because there are no criminals in heaven, no bodies to find, no clues to discover, no chases to run, no fights to win. But if there's a hell for cops, it would be like this. "Don't you think this is lovely?" someone says nearby. You cast your gaze in the direction that you think of as 'down,' at a floor made of some hi-tech substance that your brain calls 'glass.' The reflection looking back shows a 28-year-old woman with short red hair, intense green eyes, and a snarl on her face. The snarl is what sets her apart from a world where everybody is striving to be constantly happy and eternally 28. "Perhaps a bit too dark," the cust replies. Below the glass, beneath your feet, and beyond your reflection, lies nothing, the great nothing—space. By all means, it should be above you, your mind keeps insisting, but here, it's below, and there's a certain poetry in this. Those who are here have made it to the top, so they can now look down at the stars that shine beneath their feet. "What do you think, Ms. Angelside?"

Yes, the page scripts seem to run very late, after the text replacement has been done and also after the link options have been decided. You might want to put this in the link script in the page script or you could use a pagescript like this: %RAND:=1D3 $PAGETEXT:=$PAGETEXT+"RAND="+%RAND

Oh that sounds so cool. Maybe he believes vampires are the true humans and normal people are all wretched that have turned away from gods path. The story of Cain in the bible is actually a hint from God regarding how the world can be cleansed from evil, i.e. kill all the humans, drink their blood.

One thing you can do is to start from one random premise e.g. "cats are evil", "there is no fire brigade", "all apples are secretly blue on the inside" then try to reconcile this with normal perceptions of the world and ask some critical questions. "Why are cats so evil? How do they plan their evil acts?", "So what do the people who are allegedly on the fire brigade really? Who pays them? How are they recruited?" You pretty quickly end up with a very weird world view that is very deranged but internally consistent. If you think that all humans are somehow conditioned from noticing that the insides of apples are blue then maybe you would react pretty extremely if someone slices an apple because you don't want your conditioning to activate.

Many, many thanks to Sherbet for putting effort in to create the contest. I think I needed it give me the push to finally publish a game. Also congrats to Orange and Fluxion, I hugely, hugely enjoyed re-election campaign, and Fey light looks super cool (though I will enjoy it properly when I have a bit more time.) I'm still fairly new here, but really starting to appreciate this community! Thank you all for this wonderful experience.

Thank you very much!

Very cool. Like the message. I think it's true for a lot of creative works, as the creator you always see all the flaws, all the little tricks you get away with. What I mean is: Others may look at your painting and see it as a glimpse into a fantastical world but to the painter it always remains oil on canvas with a hundred little flaws where things didn't quite work out.
