The man with the red eyes is chasing you again. You run as fast as your legs can take you, but every time you look back,
he is still just a few feet behind you. The path you're on forks up ahead. Which way do you go?  

*choice
 #Left, toward the forest. I can lose him in the trees.
  You run straight for the trees, attempting to escape his crimson gaze, but to no avail, when he makes it to the treeline, just seconds after you do,
  he caresses each tree as he passes, each one bursting into flames at his touch. Soon the entire forest is ablaze, you start to choke on the smoke, 
  falling to your feet.

  *Label dreamdeath
  "You foolish creature," the man says, coming closer. His hood falls, revealing a sinster grin that only adds to his demonic demeanor.
  Your vision blurs as the man reaches out toward you, grabbing you by your neck.  "There is no escape from your fate!" You feel him crushing your throat,
  you gasp for breath that never comes, until you finally pass out.
  *finish   
    
 #Right, toward the town. Surely someone there will help me.
   You run toward the town hoping to find someone to assist you, only to find the town's streets entirely empty. As you're walking, 
   you trip on a large crack in the street. 
   
   *goto dreamdeath 
    
 #Enough running, it's time to stand and fight!
   You turn around on a dime and prepare yourself to face the man. You throw your fist forward, punching the man with all your might, he catches it with ease
   and throws you backwards with incredible strength. You land a yard away, hitting the dirt with a "thud!", the wind knocked out of you.
