3. You are in the Post 16 theatre with two doors and chairs.
Do you want to:
sit on a chair,
walk out of the rear door or
walk out the stage side door ?
4. You are now resting on a chair.
When you have had enough of sitting on a chair, you may
choose to stand up again
5. As you walk out of the rear door, you wander out into
beautiful green scenery.
Birds are singing and the sun is shining.
You hear a familiar buzzing noise...
6. The buzzing noise is the sound of your alarm clock
waking you from your sleep.
You arise from your bed and start to get ready for the day
ahead.
Later you forget what happened in your dream.
THE END.
7. As you walk out of the stage side door, it slams hard
behind you.
In a panic, you run back to the door and try to open it
again. The door is stuck and will not budge.
The lights switch off. It becomes cold.
You wait for a while to see what may happen.
8. It seems that you wait for minutes, then hours, then days
and nothing.
Nothing.
Eventually you grow tired and sleep.
You begin to have a nightmare that you are back at the
beginning all over again.
