Consequences

The Old Man grins at you again. "Didn't I tell you I'd be watching, boyo? There will be hell to pay!"

"But what did I do?" you growl. You notice your voice is much deeper and raspier.

"Unsanctioned use of products, that's what!" replies the old man. "Once, a trial... twice, suspicious... three times, that's definitely cheating! Now come with me!" His grin becomes even larger. "This is my favorite part!" You follow him, vaguely wondering if you're going to be raped.

You follow him down a flight of stairs... then another... then another... Soon, you've lost all track of time and can't tell where you are. Finally you arrive at a machine that looks like something out of a horror movie. It looks like it's made of a motor and the top of an electric tower. Attached to it is a large metal hamster wheel in which a large, handsome...Were-dingo?.. is running. "This machine provides the power to run this place! And YOU power the machine!" says the geezer. "Hey Harmond! Someone to relieve you!"

The creature steps out of the wheel. "Thank goodness, mate!" he says. "I was getting tired! G'day!" He salutes, walks out of sight and disappears. You get into the wheel.

"Well don't just stand there!" says the old man. "Run!" So you do. You run... and run.. .faster and faster... you can't see the old man now, you're running so fast. But you hear a door shut. The only light is the glow of the machine. You wonder whether you'll ever escape....
