In just a moment's notice the second one is gone, then the third, then the fourth.[paragraph break]The entire pack is gone within 15 minutes.

Suddenly, the Alch God switches his attention to Michael and says, 'Is that Michael Cera in your pocket there?'[paragraph break]'Yes, sir, It is.'[paragraph break]'I tell you what... If you sacrifice him for me, I will set you free. However, if you do not choose to sacrifice him, there will be extreme consequences...'[paragraph break]Michael Cera whimpers and looks up at you. You grab him and look at him filled with worry.[paragraph break]What is your decision?[paragraph break]Sacrifice Michael Cera or Attack the Alch God?"
Instead of Sacrificing MM:
end the story saying "Congratulations. You have sacrificed Mini-Michael Cera. I hope you feel good about yourself. The Alch God has placed you back in front of the liquor store where you passed out. Eventually the police came and arrested you for underage drinking. Without Mini-Michael, you have no way of escaping prison so you live in despair for the remainder of your life, rotting in a prison cell regretting your decision.[paragraph break]Again, I hope you're happy, because Mini-Michael Cera sure isn't. He's dead. You killed him. You're a murderous swine. I oughta-[paragraph break][paragraph break][paragraph break]Apologies, I seem to have gotten carried away. But, really? Why would you murder such a precious soul such as Mini-Michael? I just don't understand. I'm really disappointed in you, the player, for doing that.

You just exist on a dark canvas.[paragraph break]I hope you're happy, player. I hope you realize that there is nothing else you can do. All your actions, all your decisions, all of your meaningless contemplations have led you to this point. A void. A vast nothingness of which you can paint your imagination on. But, knowing you, you will probably paint that canvas with more of what it is made up of: a simple nothing.[paragraph break]Thanks for playing, I guess. I hope you enjoy the nothingness."
