You are Silver Toom, a scavenger trying to survive in a post apocalyptic world by scavenging among the ruins of what is left. You have a rusty knife and a canteen. You walk for two hours and take a break. You've left your town in search of food. You look around and see that you're far from any settlement or city. The landscape looks like it's been turned into a giant wasteland. There are no trees anywhere, only dead ones and they aren't even growing anymore. It feels cold out here, but then so has every other day this week.

> lick your knife

Licking your knife makes you feel better. Lick it again and do it more often.

You begin to think about how much you miss having a home, and how lonely you would be without one now.

> Start building a home

Build a shelter. Build as many shelters as you can. Make them bigger and better than the last one. They need to be functional, too!

> stab the shelter with a rusty knife

The shelter begins to glow red and explode. You scream as the walls collapse on you.

"What was that?" someone asks. "It looked like a bomb went off."

You fall unconscious.

> Wake up and start building a new home

You build a shelter. A big one. You make sure it's safe and strong enough to withstand an attack from a large creature such as the mutants or raiders that live near you. When you're done, you put it together and set it up in the safest place possible...

> kick the shelter's door to test how strong it is

You kick the door open. It doesn't budge. You try kicking it again, but you don't get very far either.

Then you remember something else you forgot to bring with you when you left town: a pistol!

> Make a new pistol out of the materials near you

You grab some scrap metal and make a new pistol out of it. It works perfectly! You load it with bullets and fire at the mutants outside. They fly right through their weak skin, piercing them instantly. You laugh, happy that you made something useful again.

> tape the rusty knife to the pistol to make the ultimate weapon

You taping the rusty knife to the pistol gives it a little extra protection. You smile as you pull it out of its hiding spot and hold it in front of yourself. Your eyes widen when you notice that the gun shoots bullets instead of just bullets!

> Eat the thing that you pulled out of its hiding spot

You eat the mutant. It tastes horrible, but you enjoy eating it. Then you realize that there are still others inside the shelter and decide to kill them all before they escape too.

> kill them all and cook their meat

You kill them all and cook their flesh. You enjoy the taste of human flesh, especially after surviving on nothing but plants for weeks.

After killing everyone inside the shelter, you go back outside to check if anyone escaped.

> Kill any escapees and dry their meat for later

You kill any escaping humans and dry their meat for later. You also find a few pieces of paper with names written on them. One of these papers says 'Dennis'.

> name your pistol 'Dennis'

You name your pistol 'Dennis', because you want to keep it forever.

When you finish eating, you sit down and reflect on what happened today.
