I really hope I did the genre justice – I’m too young to have experienced Zork in its heyday.

Zork!!! It felt real to me. The last lines are awesome. Nice homage to the game that you simply say ‘look’; and of course the game sort of makes you feel like a dweeb.

should it have been >Use matches on lantern?

I don’t remember, it’s been a long time since I played something like this – I’ll take your word for it and change it.

You see a very creative and unexpedted use of the challenge.

>Give four pencils.

Haha, this was fun.

I’m refraining from rating it, because although I did like it, I’m not sure how much it belongs on Ficly. It doesn’t seem very literary, if that makes any sense…

Nothing major. Like I said, it was fun.

I love this! Because you’re telling both sides of the story, there is a story…does that make sense?

And congrats on your win!

HAHAHAHAHA THIS IS AWESOME!!

Simply because I now know that Zork! is, thanks to Black Ops. Unfortunately, I am terrible at it.

I actually jumped off a canyon edge :p

And you should see what it says when you try to kill yourself. Yes, Zork! had that effect on me ;)
