Riches

After a short and slightly disappointing (for your wife) celebration in the bedroom, you doze off to sleep with her in your arms. \n\nIn the middle of the night you wake up, but you aren't in your bedroom. You look around and realize that you don't recognize the room that you are in. You stand up in confusion. This must be a dream, you think. In front of you is wooden door. The door has the word "Happiness" on it.\n\nThere is no other way to go so you decide to go through the door.\n\n<<choice "Happiness">>\n

You feel heavy wind blowing against your body. You look around and see nothing but sky. You realize that you are standing at the top of a skyrise in the city. You hear someone crying behind the door to the roof. You walk over as the door opens and you see yourself walk out. \n\nYou are dressed in a nice black suit with a gorgeous tie. You realize this must be your new work place. \n\nYou watch as the other you falls to his knees while crying. You hear him say, "This isn't the life I wanted. I am living a life of sorrow. I wish I never won that stupid money." \n\nAt that moment you watch as the other you stands up, walks to the edge of the building, and jumps off.\n\nYou try to stop yourself, but there is nothing you can do. You feel like you are about to throw up when you are teleported [[again.| Original Room]]

You take the little white thing from the fence and look at it with deep interest. You realize that it is a lottery ticket! There are random numbers scribbled on it, but it looks new so you decide to hold on to it. Something feels different about this ticket. You don't normally bother buying tickets since the odds are so wild.\n\nYou then go inside the gas station to get your Gatorade. As you are checking out, you see that the lottery is up to $250 million. The fantasies begin to roll into your mind! What would you do if you won all that money? Buy nice things? OR maybe buy a few things, but be smart with it instead?\n\nAfter fantacizing for a minute, you finish checking out and get back in your car. You can't wait to tell your wife about the ticket that you found. She will probably think that you purchased it and may get a little angry. You two are barely getting by as it is. Every dollar is valuable to you and her and she might see it as a waste of money. You hope she shares your enthusiasm.\n\nWith a smile on your face, you head [[home|Home (Found)]].

You see the other you sitting in a beuatiful large kitchen that ooks like it has hardly been used. You must have use the money to buy a nice lavish house. This is a large upgrade from the house you and your wife lived in before.\n\nYou notice that you are signing a piece of paper. You step closer and realize that they are divorce papers. \n\nAt that moment your wife storms into the room carry ing a box and yelling at you for turning into an arrogant jerk and saying how the money has changed me. \n\nShe takes the papers from you and slams the door behind her. You look out the window to see her pull away in a sleek BMW.\n\nYou turn around and see yourself starting to cry. You begin to wonder how the money will change you when you wake up form this dream.\n\nIn another blink of an eye you are [[teleported again.|Suicide]]\n

You arrive home to smell the normal aroma of a microwave meal coming from the kitchen. You walk in to see your wife sitting at the table eating. You see an extra meal on the table to her left. She asks why you are later than normal. You tell her you stopped at the gas station to get Gatorade. You aren't sure if you should tell her about the lottery ticket.\n\n\n<<choice "Tell her about the lottery ticket.">>\n<<choice "Don't tell her about the ticket.">>

You are on your way home from a 10 hour shift at the local factory. The work is intensive and leaves you feeling dehydrated at the end of the day. In a hurry to get home, you realize that you didn't grab a few water bottles from the break room like usual. In order to rehydrate yourself, you decide to stop at a local gas station to purchase some delicious Gatorade.\n\n As you get out of your car you see something small and white whisp through the warm summer breeze. Normally you would dismiss such a thing, but there is something odd about this small white thing. \n\n<<choice "Chase after the small white thing">>\n<<choice "Forget about it and go inside the gas station">>

In the living room, you turn on the tv and sit on the futon. You turn the tv to the correct channel and laugh at the silly commercial on tv. \n\nLuckily, your wife does not follow you into the living room. It would be hard to explain why you are watching the lottery drawing after you decided not to tell her about the ticket during dinner. She must have gone to the bedroom to read.\n\nAfter a chain of silly commercials, the lottery drawing comes on. You pull the ticket out of your old leather wallet that you keep in the back pocket of your jeans and hold it in [[anticipation|Didn't tell her Drawing]].

You thank your wife for making your favorite meal of salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. You take the meal and remicrowave it for about 30 seconds. While the microwave is humming, you decide to tell your wife about the lottery ticket that you bought. \n\nExpectedly, she gets a little mad at you. She asks where you bought it and what made you decide to buy it. You tell her about seeing a white thing whisping through the air and getting stuck on the fence. You explain that the paper weighed on your mind and for some reason influenced you to buy one. She explains that you can't afford to waste money chasing dreams.\n\nYou take your meal out of the mircowave and sit next to your wife. While eating the delicious meal, you have a pleasant conversation with your wife almost forgetting about the ticket. \n\nAfter you finish your meal, you realize that the drawing is about to come on TV. You throw away your meals and head to the [[living room|Living Room Random Tell]].

You thank your wife for making your favorite meal of salisbury steak, mashed potatoes, and green beans. You take the meal and remicrowave it for about 30 seconds. While the microwave is humming, you decide to tell your wife about the lottery ticket that you found. \n\nUnexpectedly, she believes you. She asks where you found it and how you know if it is old or not. You tell her about seeing it whisping through the air and getting stuck on the fence. You aren't sure if it is old or not, but the paper is still very white and doesn't seem to have been outside long enough to get dirty. \n\nYou take your meal out of the mircowave and sit next to your wife. While eating the delicious meal, you have a pleasant conversation with your wife. \n\nAfter you finish your meal, you realize that the drawing is about to come on TV. You throw away your meals and head to the [[living room|living room 1]].

You begin to go crazy! Your wife rushes into the room thinking that you are being murdered. She yells, "WHAT IS GOING ON?"\n\nYou look here in the eyes while holding a large smile and hand her the lottery ticket and tell her that you are now millionaires. She looks you in the eyes and can tell that you are being serious. She lets out a loud yell and you two begin to jump and down together. When you stop, you walk over to the kitchen and take two small shot glasses out of the cabinet along with an old whisky your father bought for you on your last birthday. You pour two shots and hand one to your wife. \n\nBefore too long, you have both finished the bottle and decide to take the celebration to your [[bedroom|Sleep/ Dream]].

On the screen you see a well dressed man who is acting way too excited to be doing this job and you also see an attractive young woman in a fancy dress. \n\nYou think about how winning could change the life that you and your wife live. You could both afford to quit your jobs and find a more relaxing job that you both love. You both have dreamed about working at a library part time. It would be easy and also not stressful. It would also give you the time to start a family.\n\n\nYou smile at the thought of you and your wife starting a family and the numbers begin to be selected.\n\nThe first one comes and it is a match. So it the second, and third, and fourth, and HOLY SHIT! THE FIFTH! Only one more number. There is a pause that seems to last an hour. THe little ball wiggles through the pipes of the weird selecting machine. You close your eyes. In what seems like another hour you hear it. The last number on your ticket. Is this real? Can this be right? You have just [[won the lottery|Go to wife and celebrate]].

You decide to just let the machine choose the numbers for you. You have taken enough of the clerks time and don't want to hold the man up any longer.\n\nThe clerk prints the ticket. You pay for everything and head back to your car. As you start your car, you can't help but think that this ticket is a waste of money. You don't normaly buy tickets and this feeling is why. With outrageous odds, it seems foolish to waste money on a small piece of paper with a few nummbers on it. You aren't sure if you should tell your wife about the purchase you guys are barely getting by as it is and every dollar is valuable. You drive [[home.|Home (Random)]]

You decide to chase after the small white thing. You notice that it was whisped away behind the gas station. You turn the corner and see it stuck in the fence. It is flowing helplessly in the wind. You quickly realize that it is just a small piece of paper with something on it. \n<<choice "Take it from the fence">>\n<<choice "Forget about it and go inside the gas station">>

On the screen you see a well dressed man who is acting way too excited to be doing this job and you also see an attractive young woman in a fancy dress. \n\nYour wife comes over to the futon, sits next to you, and holds your free hand. She knows how much winning could change your lives. You could both afford to quit your jobs and find a more relaxing job that you both love. You both have dreamed about working at a library part time. It would be easy and also not stressful. It would also give you the time to start a family.\n\n\nYou smile at your wife and the numbers begin to be selected.\n\nThe first one comes and it is a match.

You walk through the door that reads "Sorrow". On the other as you step through you see your bedroom. You see two bodies in your bed. One is your wife, but who is the other?\n\nYou step closer and realize that it is you.\n\nAt that time an alarm goes off and you see yourself get up. \n\nA sudden flash overcomes the room and everything is set into some sort of high speed. You see you and your wife zoom around in a fast forward sort of feeling. The two get ready for the day as you just stand in the bedroom in amazement. \n\nAs quickly as it sped up, it slows back down and you see yourself walking out to the car. You run to catch up and get in the car too. You notice that the lottery ticket is sitting on the dash board.\n\nAfter a drive into the city, the car is parked and the you both get out of the car. You can tell that the other you has no idea you are there, but you still keep a distance while walking behind. \n\nSuddenly, an old man approaches the other you. He asks you for $100. You see yourself just keep walking and completely ignore the guy. You are never that rude, but understand that $100 is a lot to just give someone. You just won the lottery though so you can now afford to give some away, you think to yourself.\n\n\nYou continue walking and you follow yourself into a building the reads [["Lottery Office".|Office 2]] \n

"RING, RING" \n\nYou hit the alarm and lay in bed for another moment before getting out of bed.\n\nYou get up and try to think about the dream you had, but can't really recall what it was about. \n\nYou see your lottery ticket sitting on the bedside table and realize you need to take that to the office downtown and ask them what you need to do. You tell your wife and get ready for the day. \n\nYou drive down town and park near the Lottery Office. As you are walking to the office an older homeless man approaches you and asks if he can have $100.

You go inside the gas station and pick out two bottles of your favorite type of Gatorade. As you are approaching the counter you see the the lottery drawing is up to $250 million. You think about how nice it would be to have that much money. What would you do with it all? Buy nice things? OR maybe buy a few things, but be smart with it instead? \n\n"Next!" yells the clerk behind the counter.\n\nYou set the two Gatorades on the counter. \n\n"Will this be all?", the clerk asks.\n\nYou are about to say yes and then an urge comes over you. You don't know why, but the small white thing whisping through the air comes back into your mind. You think about the white thing for a moment and then get an urge to play the lottery. This isn't soemthing you normally waste your time doing, but for some reason you decide to buy a ticket. \n\n"Ummm... hello?" the clerk asks.\n\nYou snap back to reality and say that you also need one lottery ticket. \n\n<<choice "Pick the numbers">>\n<<choice "Random numbers">>

\nIn the office you watch as the man in the office greets you and takes you through the verification process. You see that the other you decides to take the option of receiving the money all at one time in a large sum.\n\nSuddenly the fast forwarding begins again. This time you watch yourself closely.\n\nYou zoom back to the house and see yourself on the phone with family. You seem to be angry and don't agree to give money to your family.\n\nThey haven't helped you through the had times that you have faced with your wife, so it would make sense to not give anyhting to them.\n\nThis makes you stop and wonder what you will actually do with the winnings. \n\nThe fast forwarding continues and all of a sudden you are teleported to another point in [[time|Wife Divorced]].\n

On the screen you see a well dressed man who is acting way too excited to be doing this job and you also see an attractive young woman in a fancy dress. \n\nYou cross your fingers. If you win you and your wife could both afford to quit your jobs and find a more relaxing job that you both love. You both have dreamed about working at a library part time. It would be easy and also not stressful. It would also give you the time to start a family.\n\n\nYou smile at this thought and the numbers begin to be selected.\n\nThe first one comes and it is a match. The rest are not a match though. You look at the ticket and look at the drawing and sit in disbelief. You had such a good feeling about this ticket.\n\nIn dissappointment you turn off the TV and go to bed. In the morning before getting ready for work, you shred your ticket and decide to never play the lottery again.\n\n\n[[RESTART|Start]]

You and your wife go crazy! You begin to jump and down together. When you stop, you walk over to the kitchen and take two small shot glasses out of the cabinet along with an old whisky your father bought for you on your last birthday. You pour two shots and hand one to your wife. \n\nBefore too long, you have both finished the bottle and decide to take the celebration to your [[bedroom|Sleep/ Dream]].

This time you are placed back in the room with the door, but the door that once read "Happiness" now reads "Sorrow". You would love to go back to the moment you just witnessed, but that isn't a choice. You have no choice, but to go through this door.\n\n<<choice "Sorrow">>

You sit back for a minute and wonder what numbers to pick. There are so many good ones out there. You think about just doing 6 random numbers to alleviate the pressure of choosing your own numbers. \n\nYou decide that wouldn't be as fun so you quickly select 6 numbers that have power in your life.These numbers include your anniversary with your wife and the two children that you have.\n\nAfter selecting your numbers and buying the ticket and Gatorade, you get back in your car. For some reason, you can't help but feel like this is the winning ticket. \n\nYou hope that your wife shares the same enthusiasm. You two are barely getting by as it is. Every dollar is valuable to you and her and she might see it as a waste of money. \n\nWith a smile on your face, you drive [[home.|Home (Pick)]]

In the living room, you turn on the tv and take a seat on the futon. Your wife follows you in so you allow her to take a seat on the more comfortable armchair. \n\nYou turn on the tv and a silly infomercial is on. You and your wife laugh at it. After an attempt to get you to purchase magical hair growing cream, the lottery drawing comes on. \n\nYou take the ticket out of your old leather wallet that you keep in the back pocket of your jeans and hold it in [[anticipation|Told Her Drawing]].\n

The first thing you recognize is the smell. It smells very sterile and clean. You are in a hospital. You look around to find the character you have been following.\n\nYou hear screaming behind you.\n\nYou turn around to see what might be the happiest sight you have every seen. You are standing next to your wife while she is laying in the hospital bed holding a small baby. \n\nShe has just given birth. The smiles on both of your faces are unlike any smiles you have ever seen before. You take a step closer to see the baby, but you are teleported [[again.|Original Room 1]]

You see the other you sitting at a computer going through website and writing things down. You step closer and realize he is writing down places that you part of the winnings will be donated to. \n\nYou see that the SPCA is at the top of the list. This makes sense being as you and your wife both love dogs and cats.\n\nYou wonder if you would actually donate any of your money after this bizzare dream ends. \n\nIn another blink of an eye you are [[teleported again.|Expecting a Baby]]

In the office you watch as the man in the office greets you with a smile and takes you through the verification process.

This time you watch yourself closely.\n\nYou zoom back to the house and see yourself on the phone with family. You see to have agreed to give them some of the money.\n\nThis makes you stop and wonder what you will actually do with the winnings. \n\nThe fast forwarding continues and all of a sudden you are teleported to another point in [[time|Donate Money]].

You are back in the room in which you woke up in. You sit there for a few minutes staring at the wall trying to grasp what you just saw. \n\nYou get back on your feet and look at the door.
