Continuing the Jaded Viewer's Choose Your Own Horror-Venture: The Detention Dungeon

The Jaded Viewer has started what I think is a really neat idea, where horror bloggers attempt to recreate the horror Choose Your Own Adventure books of the '90s. You can check out his post here, which includes the beginning to this whacky story. Here's a continuation of it, where our main characters head to the gymnasium of the school.

The Detention Dungeon: Gym of Gore

You and Terry decide to head to the gym, agreeing that a full gymnasium would make it easier to hide from Mr. Lasher. You sprint through the halls, weaving in and out of doorways in an attempt to leave a false trail for Mr. Lasher to follow.

“We should slow down,” says Terry nervously. “We don’t want to attract any more attention from other teachers, or we’ll be suspended for ducking Lasher.”

“You’re right,” you concede, and both of you step nonchalantly into the gymnasium.

“Where is everyone?” Terry asks, noticing the quiet of the gym first. His voice echoes off the walls, startling pigeons in the ceiling rafters.

“It must be free period for Mrs. Pungen,” you say. “Lunch break or something.”

“Boys, where have you been!” a voice calls from the locker room doors. You glance over to see Mrs. Pungen holding a giant, slimy jump rope. “Just in time to play!”

“What is that thing!” Terry cries out. He’s staring at Mrs. Pungen’s leg, which has swelled up and ripped through her pant leg. Veins bulge from the infected appendage, and terrible streaks of red are traveling up her limb.

“I don’t know, Terry, but we’ve got to get out of here. She’s sick – we’ve got to get her help!” You grab Terry’s hand to pull him along, but it’s too late. Mrs. Pungen whips Terry with her jump rope, wrapping it around his waist and pulling him closer to her. At this angle, it almost looks like a strand of human intestine.

You can’t leave Terry to his demise. But you don’t want to end up dead yourself. What should you do?

If you leave Terry to his fate with Mrs. Pungen, turn the page to [insert blog here].

If you stay and help Terry fight Mrs. Pungen off, turn the page to [insert blog here].

Ryne - That's a perfect 2 choices. I would totally leave Terry but that would lead to the "bad ending". Hahaha.

Good stuff. I hope you had fun writing that up. We just need everybody to participate.

I'm liking where this is heading. Kinda has a "The Faculty" feel to it.

Great path Ryne. I took the bio lab path and that post will go live tomorrow.

Awesome Geof. Can't wait to see what you come up with.

Ryne - I posted a link from the main story to here.

Awesome. I suck at writing suspense, so I'd be terrible at continuing this, but that's a pretty good twist right there.
