SELECT YOUR DESTINY BOOK #9 - HAUNTED MANSION MADNESS!

You decide to go with the servant's quarters. It may not be as swanky as the master bedroom, but you're certain if there are any vengeful spirits around, they'll be after the owners of the house rather than the hired help.

If you had any belongings with you, you'd lay them in the corner, but you don't, so you don't. Instead, you fall right on the lumpy mattress and try to get some sleep. You fall asleep immediately, but are assailed by dreams of 80s bands with bad highlights.

Your nightmares are interrupted by a loud crashing from outside. You take a peek out the window and see a horrifying sight: an animated tree punching a hole right into the master bedroom. Ha, you think to yourself, called it.

The tree lifts out one of your screaming relatives, and you can't help but laugh out loud. Your laughter intensifies when you see a yellow stream running down your relative's leg. You're not sure if the tree heard you, or if he just saw something out of the corner of his... knot, but he turns in the direction of the servant's quarters.

It takes a step toward you, but as it goes to take another, its foot slips on the edge of your great uncle's poorly maintained pool. The tree stumbles for a moment, and then collapses. Right on the servant's quarters. It feels like every bone in your body has been broken. You feel a warm liquid on your chest. At first, you believe it to be blood, but it turns out to be urine, still leaking from your dead relative's bladder. You'd groan in disgust, but both your lungs have been punctured.

The trees are angry that you chopped them down to build houses!

IF A TREE FALLS IN THE WOODS, DO YOU 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.
