PICK #1:Lost in Greenwood
-PICK #1:LOST IN GREENWOOD-
INSTRUCTIONS:Read this before starting the game.
PICK is an adventure-based game in series and you have to decide which path you want to choose.
You can be good,bad or plain evil.It's a big world,after all.
If you choose to kill a dragon,for example,you have to go to paragraph 62(or 62,if you prefer).
So scroll down to 62.Anyway,enjoy.
GAME(begins after this line):
1
You wave goodbye to your parents,promising to find a new life somewhere in the world and visit them again once every year.
They had given you some food,a guide dog,medicine and some gold(money).
Your mother also gave you an enchanted locket and your father,his trusty sword.
As you walk through Greenwood forest,you sense danger looking at you,breeathing down your neck.But,it couldn't be.After all,you had been staying near the forest for years.
You walked all day until it was night.
Go to 2.
2
Walking through a forest is completely different from walking in a park.
There are unknown animals and sometimes,robbers.Luckily,you could soon see an inn nearby.
The lights of the inn attracted you to go in.However,you have never seen the inn before.
Suddenly,you hear a rustle of leaves behind you and swung behind.You could see a bandit wielding a dagger and he orders,"Give me all your gold!"
You panic.
If you choose to fight with him with your sword,go to 3.
If you give him all your gold,turn to 4.
3
"No!"you shout.You slowly take out the sword out of your bag.The bandit angrily advances towards you with his dagger.
You quickly waited for the bandit to come close and when he did,you chopped his head!
You then,found some gold and took his dagger.
Then you walk to the inn.
Go to 5.
4
"Okay,don't hurt me!"you said.As the bandit takes your money,he quickly stabs you with his dagger!Instant kill.
THE END.
5
As you stepped in,you see the bartender cooking and some men drinking beer.
If you want to hear some gossips,go to 7.
If you want to rest for the night,go to 6.
6
"Give me a bed to rest on for tonight,"you ask the bartender.You paid him five gold coins.
The bartender quickly walks you up to your room."Enjoy,"he smiles at you when he opened the door.Being so tired,you immediately dropped to the bed.
Just then,you heard some singing coming outside.
If you think you should investigate,go to 8.
If you don't care,go to 9.
7
"Are there any news?"you ask a young man dressed brightly.
"I've heard of some lost treasure in a deserted Greenwood camp,but only a loser will go there,cos' there are ghosts ,"he says."Unless you're lookin' for a suicide."
You feel sleepy now,turn to 6.
8
As you stepped out from the room,the singing stops.Instead,you hear soft footsteps walking up towards you!Frightened,you tried to open the door and get back,but your hand gets stuck to the doorknob!Somewhere from the darkness,a woman in white walks towards you and smiles.
That's when you passed out.
THE END.
9
Curosity kills the cat,maybe for this situation.
It's just singing,who cares?
After getting some shut-eye,you finally awake next morning,ready to settle off to find adventure.Finally.
Thanks for playing!
THE END.

What happened 2 days ago:In school
-In school(6 February):
On this day,because it was Chinese New Year Eve,we could go home at a whooping 9.30 am
(School starts at about 7.05 am.).When I came to school,there were 6 books on my desk.
The books are:Maths PSLE test book,English language PSLE test book,Science PSLE test book,Maths Workbook,English spelling exercise book and Math exercise book.
The PSLE books are a compilation of exam papers from past years of PSLE.
Then,we had to go for our daily morning assembly,where we sang our hymns,prayers,national anthem and recite our school pledge.There's also the Singapore pledge.After that,we proceeded to the hall(not daily) to watch a performance on CNY,hear songs of CNY and learn about it.
I didn't really bother to sing the songs as I wanted to see the performance.There really was not much to see.Three chinese teachers went up on stage and told us more about the four important things that chinese scholars find essential for study(also know as "the four treasures".)These are:ink brush(a tool used to write),ink stone(where the ink is poured),paper(for writing on) and ink stick(broken up and mixed with water to create ink).
After all the songs and performances,we went back to our classes at about 9.10 am.
We then spent the last twenty minutes doing an activity.
The activity was that each student receives a paper which has two oranges with spaces in them and we had to like...cut them out and write auspicious words.Then,we exchanged them and our greetings with our friends.And we went home after all that. :)

GS:Phone Ghosts
-PHONE GHOSTS-
Even though ghosts don't use new technology,a few do.That is,what Issac explains."And,ghosts that contact you on the internet are called cyber ghosts,"Issac explained."Really?Wow,now I can find my dream girl friend from the other world..."joked Zack.Issac shot him a funny face."You know,are you a ghost buster or something?You should become one because you look like one!"laughed Zack again,as if his joke was the funniest in the whole world.
Issac just shrugged."Ring ring!"went the phone.Quickly,Zack picked it up and spoke into the receiver,"Hello?"No answer.Then a voice creepily went,"Unnuhh..."
Zack immediately went pale and got the goosebumps.His automatic reflex was to put down the phone.Instead,he slammed it down hard."What's wrong,your girlfriend?"laughed Issac.
"No,it's a-a-a gh-gh-ghost!"shivered Zack.Issac wasn't surprised at all,in fact,he was beginning to get interested."So what did the voice sound like?"asked Issac.
And that was when the phone rang again."You pick it up this time,"said Zack in a worried voice.
"Alright,"said Issac.He picked up the phone and spoke,"Hello?"
Silence.Nobody was on the other side.That was when Zack suddenly turned white.
He just stared into empty space with his eyes so wide,Issac could see his veins.
"Are you okay?"asked Issac,who was placed the phone down.
And with that,Zack fell to the floor.
---
"Is he okay?"asked Issac.The medium shook his head,"No,I'm afraid not.Zack has been possessed and he needs to recover." "How did the ghost...possess him?"asked Issac curiously.
"When you picked up the phone,the ghost managed to get out of it when you tried to answer the phone,"explained the medium.Issac could tell the medium was an expert,as he had ten years of being one and he knew alot about ghosts.
Zack managed to awake a few minutes later,but he couldn't remember anything about the phone ghost.
---
Truth is,the ghost that haunts the phone is the original owner of the phone.
The phone is antique and old.What's interesting is that the owner of the phone happens to be the father of the medium.

Happy CNY!
-CNY 2008-
I'm thinking of my hong baos right now!There's gonna be lots of food and relatives to see during CNY.Last year,at night on CNY,Mum and Dad were addicted to mahjong and betted small amounts of money on it!Really,it can be boring with people going in and going out,but the best part is where you get to see your hong baos!Hmm,maybe two hundred dollars is good for me,but I've better not count chicks before they hatch.

GS:The Mad Dancing Man
-THE MAD DANCING MAN-
"Hey,listen to that!"Ferris excitedly whispered.Two other boys and I woke up and rubbed our eyes."What is it?"Kent moaned."Just listen!"Ferris tried to keep Kent quiet.And about a minute later,we could clearly hear some strange singing."Maybe we should check it out,"Dennis suggested."Maybe we should go back to bed.It's midnight and we have to get up early next morning.What's more,we're still in a camp,guys!"I was answered irritatedly as I was still sleepy.
"You can stay here in the tent if you want,Terry.We're going to check out all that singing.Who knows?It might be an insane person or one of our teachers," Kent giggled.The rest except me giggled softly as well.I shivered about staying in an empty tent and then said,"Ok,I'll go along as well.It's bad to miss out a chance to see a crazy teacher singing!"
Ferris got out his flashlight and shone out into the darkness with it.It was dead silent,except for a few crickets chirping.Then,the singing started again,except,it was in a much deeper voice.We soon got out of our tent and started walking through the grassland.There were two other tents about ten metres away from ours,but we wanted to solve the mystery alone,by ourselves.
The thought of ghosts haunting camps made me shiver,but I thought it was all nonsense,ghosts don't haunt camps or teachers or children!
As we stepped out further from our tents,we came across an abandoned cottage with thatched roofs,broken window panes and a door full of holes.We peered through a hole of one of the window panes and saw a dancing man.He did crazy dances and danced around the house,kicking and throwing furniture around.Then,as if by magic,they disappeared.Our faces were as white as sheet and to our horror,a loud voice yelled,"WHO IS IT WHO VISITS US LATE IN THE NIGHT!?!"We ran as quickly as we could,helping each other to run faster and faster while retracing our steps back to the camp.Behind us,we could hear singing again.
Suddenly,while we were running,a spirit of an ugly man appeared in front of us and we came halting to a stop."YOU!WHY MUST YOU PEOPLE DISTURB US?!"the ghost shouted in anger.
Ferris,who was pale,softly responded,"We didn't mean to!" "QUIET!"commanded the angry spirit.Just then,in the middle of the conversation,we could hear someone running towards us.
I could clearly hear leaves crackling as if someone stepped on them.
The ghosts's other evil friends!I was biting my nails now.But much to our astonishment,it was Mr Halim!
"Stay back!I knew this was going to happen!"Mr Halim instructed."The children did not mean it!" "FOOL!YOU'RE NO MATCH FOR ME,YOU'RE PATHETIC!"laughed the ghost."We'll see!" grinned Mr Halim.
We watched in awe as our math teacher battled against an angry spirit.At first,it seemed that the ghost had Mr Halim under his thumb,but Mr Halim took over the ghost minutes later.
"Quick,Dennis,pass me a stone!"instructed Mr Halim.Dennis quickly picked up a smooth stone and passed it to Mr Halim.Mr Halim whispered some charms into it and then aimed and threw it into the mouth of the ghost!The ghost screeched and slowly,it's skin and flesh melted into the ground.The skeletal remains exploded into thick smoke.Mr Halim was sweating all over now.
Then,he brought us back to the camp and reprimanded us for disturbing spirits.
"In this world,there are good and evil spirits.What you saw just now was a strong,evil spirit."
Mr Halim explained."Luckily,I noticed you guys were gone and I quickly checked my compass.The needle pointed to the direction of the spirit.Spirits are a bit magnetic!"
We promised not to disturb the supernatural for a long,long time.Too bad this was the only story we could tell our grandchildren.
And that was the last we saw of the dancing spirit.
