SELECT YOUR DESTINY BOOK #9 - HAUNTED MANSION MADNESS!

Damn right you're gonna get a plane ticket! You've gotta be there by the day after tomorrow, remember? No way any of those other ways could get you there in time. You head across the street to the public library and log on to one of those discount tickety websites (after finding a computer that the local homeless HAVEN'T used as a restroom) and book yourself the next flight to Olde North Fester by the Sea that's available at your local airport.

You head back to your apartment and start packing for your trip. Just as you finish, you hear screeching brakes followed by some frantic honking down in the street below.

It's not the mystery machine :(

"Huh," you think to yourself. "I don't remember seeing anything about an airport shuttle on that travel website! Guess I should've read the fine print." You rush downstairs and just as you are about to reach the door, you are struck a sound blow on the back of the head and everything goes black. When you come to, you find yourself tied hand and foot with duct tape covering your mouth, and before you is a strangely familiar face...

KHAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

"This is a travelnapping," he says. "Actually, scratch that. This is just a regular kidnapping. Travelnapping involves shanghaiing people who aren't scumbag Doctor Who fans and helping them get better deals. You'll find I'm far less helpful to... your kind. I'm going to give you a piece of paper and a pen, and you're going to write down the number of someone who cares about your well-being so I can demand ransom from them. Not that... you people are really worth a whole lot to anyone, usually." Unfortunately, he's absolutely right — you give him several numbers, but nobody is willing to go for it. After the fifth number outright hangs up when your name is mentioned, he gets a (more) frightening look on his face. "Well now," he says, "YOU may not be able to find anyone who can put a price on your worthless hide, but I know a few folks I could Negotiate a good price with..."

Lunch!

WHOOPS, HE ACTUALLY MEANT YOUR ORGANS AND NOT YOUR HIDE! I
COULD GET A BETTER ENDING IN MY SLEEP.. IF I SLEPT! START OVER!

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.
