SELECT YOUR DESTINY BOOK #9 - HAUNTED MANSION MADNESS!

You know how to deal with insolent hunchbacks like him.

"Oh yeah!? Well so's your old man, Cletus!"

Cletus stops dead in his tracks. He slowly turns and gives you an incredulous look. Just as you thought: looks like no one ever thought to give this smart-mouth dingus a taste of his own medicine. You fold your arms and give him a sly look that says "oh yeah, I went there." Cletus stammers out a response:

"You... you just... TAKE THAT BACK!!"

"Oh, good one," you chuckle, "learn that from your old man, too?"

"I'm telling you, stop that. He doesn't like being called old!"

You decide that the hunchback has been sufficiently burned. Time to finish him off. You start putting together a long insult that begins with calling his old man a dirty name, moves on to address his poor personal hygiene, and finally ends with a slam against his choice in women. Halfway into Act One of your brilliant remark, you hear a faint "click" come from the vicinity of Cletus.

"Oh, now you've done it."

IT'S ALIVE!!!

The sudden appearance of an old man out of your cousin's hump derails your train of thought. You struggle to come up with your next insult, but the old man cuts out off.

"What's that? You callin' me an old man, sonny!? Well maybe you oughta be taught a lesson in manners!!"

The old man leaps out of the hunchback hidey hole and assaults you with a heretofore unseen walking cane. You try your best to shield your head, but the old man is relentless. Once he has you in a daze, he delivers the coup de grace: a running hunchback hump to the head. You're dead before you hit the ground.

I'VE GOT A "HUNCH" THAT STARTING OVER IS IN YOUR FUTURE!!!

If I sleep in the nude, why am I wearing the same clothes I "rolled out of bed with in the morning"?

"Doctor says he's got the diabetes, says that makes him hyperglycemic. Know what that is? Means he's got to get a lot of sugar in him all the time, or he'll get all listless and moody!"
One of the best Destiny Books so far.

Of course there's also the issue of why I have toiletries when I didn't pack.

I'm still loving this. It doesn't need to make sense.

Two words: birthday suit.

Wait a second, when you go back to your room after killing that monster, is that ghost from the "A Christmas Carol" movie starring Albert Finney as Scrooge called "Scrooge"?
I think it was a musical. My family watches it every year.

I would like to propose that the sentence "He flails wildly about as you punch him in the hump." is one of the funniest things I've ever read. Kudos to you guys.

I really hate to be a wet blanket, but as an actual type 1 diabetic, I'd just like to point out that too much insulin is the cause of a diabetic seizure, not at all the solution. The solution to hypoglycemia (what causes a seizure) is more sugar, and the way to deal with a seizure in progress is to give the person a glucagon shot, which is quite distinctive from an insulin shot.

You know that this story is supposed to be funny, full of teh jokes, and in no way educational or based on true events, right?

I was just glad I could spell "diabetes" correctly after years of hearing those commercials with Wilford Brimley.

so, is there a good ending? I think I went through all the choices and never saw one that I would think of as a happy ending for player.
