The old woman rises from her chair, and with the ungodly strength of a thousand grannies, picks you up and hurls you out of her path.
You notice a key sticking out of her pocket.
[[Ask about the key]]
[[Go back to the railing]]
<audio src="https://artscorps.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Steamship.m4a" autoplay> You awkwardly clamber over the ship's railing and leap into the sea below.

[[Walk on]]
<audio src="https://artscorps.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Wandering.m4a" autoplay>You peek inside the sewing kit, hoping to find a pair of scissors or a knitting needle.
All you find is a single safety pin.
"I mean, I guess I could kill you with a pin," says the boy. "But I think it'll take a while."
"You're probably right," you say, putting the pin in your pocket.
[[Look through an old fridge]]

"Over there!" the boy says, pointing off in the distance.
A chain link fence divides the landfill. On the other side, a woman throws knives at an old wardrobe.
"Maybe she'll give us a knife!" the boy says. "Come on!"
The two of you rush over to the chainlink fence.
[[Climb the fence]]

It's a crumpled postcard. On one side is a picture of a red landfill. On the other is familiar handwriting.

You stand on the shore, waves crashing across the blood red sand.
The sky is dark, and thunder growls in the distance. Up in the hills, the boy from the landfill waves at you.
He holds a sign in one hand. //''Bon Voyage!''//
You wonder how he knew you would be here.
You turn around.
Behind you, an office building looms.
[[Enter the building]]

The world is dead silent.

Everything around you goes silent, like someone has turned the volume down to zero.
All you can hear is the void, deafeningly loud against the silence.

Soon the scenery around you changes, and you find yourself in a flooded stairwell.
Sunlight filters in through the wnidows high above you. The door in front of you is ajar.
[[Swim through the door]]
[[Turn back to the shore]]You swim forwards, pushing the heavy door open.
You emerge through a curtain of vines into calm, impossibly blue water.

"It's nice, isn't it?"

A UFO, made of black glass and gold, floats in the night sky above.
Its arms slowly unfurl, like a sea plant. It hums gently, beckoning you towards it.

Your grandson, holding a red balloon, looks to his mother, concerned. Your daughter tosses long, blonde hair out of her eyes. You can totally picture her in an admiral's uniform. She ruffles your grandson's hair.
