Up: Game 2  Up: Game 2 Outline

KERUNCH!

Suddenly, you hear and feel a terrific cracking sound ... from the bench beneath you! You wince in anticipation as you pour another pitcher of water into your gorge, hoping against hope that the table might still come loose from its bolts.

But while your belly may be applying hundreds of pounds of pressure with the table as a lever, your whole body is applying thousands of pounds of pressure to the bench! With a crack as loud as a gunshot, the seat gives way beneath you, dropping you into a newly-created hole in the upholstery.

You land with a thud, and slowly open your eyes. The impact of your landing has knocked over a few glasses here and there, but the place seems otherwise undamaged. Looking down at the bench, though, you grimace. You're now resting on the cement slab of the building, and you can feel the tacks in the carpet digging into your flabby thighs. Well, you think ruefully, at least I'm free of the table.

Unfortunately, you now need to get free of the bench.

You could try and hoist yourself up with your own strength, of course, but you're not sure you'd get anything but a sprain out of that.

You could lean forward and try to crawl out on your belly, but you'd still have to get up ... though at least you wouldn't be sitting on carpet tacks anymore.

Or, you could call for help. You've gotta stand up sometime ... you hope.

What do you do?
