Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

Keep Your Mouth Shut?

You resign yourself to the fact that you will soon be captured and then shipped to a zoo or circus. "What a day," you think sullenly, sinking into the deep end of the pool. "First I was a man. Then, for no particular reason, I became a hippo. Then I became a hippo-man. Now I'm a hippo again. All for no particular reason."

But there has to be a reason. There must be an underlying cause or trigger or ...

Trigger? Of course! It was the food! You became a hippo right after you ate breakfast. You became a hippo-man after raiding the refrigerator. Now, after several hours without food, you've become a hippo again. Eating seems to trigger the transformation, and not eating seems to reverse it. Maybe, just maybe, you can become human again just by fasting for a few more hours.

You still have some difficult choices. Do you allow yourself to be captured, or do you try to escape?
