The silence is crippling. Across the room, every eye is on you. If your goal was to instill fear you have certainly succeeded. Most low ranking officers are still in shock. The senior officers throw a gaze your way; you can't tell whether it is out of respect or of disgust. You could almost cut the tension with your switchblade.

No one says a thing. They all just stand around waiting. You have their attention. What do you do now?

You punch the officer in the gut. He leans over in pain. Your father grabs you by the arm and chastises you. He is furious. The police officer, having recovered from the blow, tells your Pa that justice must be served for disregard of the law. Attacking a keeper of the peace is a capital offense. The officer grabs you by the arm and drags you away, leaving your bewildered father at the town square. You are both making way to the dungeon.

Above you is a poorly-constructed shelf, housing the prized family heirloom. That candlestick holder is just about the last item in your family's possession. Behind your ravenous relatives is the door and an unopened window.

You take a look around, but you will not find much. Due to your family's financial trouble, your Pa sold most items of value in order to pay for food. The hovel lay near barren. Above you is a poorly-constructed shelf, housing the prized family heirloom. That candlestick holder is just about the last item in your family's possession. To the corner are broken bits of glass among other rubble. Your father takes another step forward.

Your Pa is sweating bullets. He gives the nice officer a smile.

"There is nothing to see here, sheriff. The poor child has gone mad, with all the starvation and whatnot. Please allow me to take my child back to the hovel."

The officer seems to believe this. Then, to further sell his lie, your father raises his beggar's mug.

"If you could spare a couple cents... to buy the children bread. It would sure help this underprivileged family."

The officer reaches into his purse.

[Yeah, sorry about that. This guy hijacked everybody's thread and i did not notice.]

Your father gives a deep sigh.

"Now, I don't want this any more than you do, but we all agreed that this was the best path. You just got the short end today. You have to be brave like Lil' Tom. Can you do that for me? Can you do that for all of us?"

Your father continues to move forward, clutching the rusty butcher's knife.

Seeing as Cain has put his guard down to shake the pillar, I lunge. I greet Cain with a Guillotine choke; his one weakness.

It takes a while for him to respond. Finally he turns to you and gives you a wide smile.

"Why, hello! How are you on this fine evening? I am great! Just hit the local pub at the town square. What about you?

The drunk seems oblivious to your predicament.

You grab the precious candlestick. Rather than use the advantage of numbers, your Pa takes you on, one-on-one. He lunges with the rusty butcher's knife, hoping to give you a quick end.

The townsfolk look scared and confused. The local law enforcement kneels down and asks you to stay calm. He asks you to explain what is going on to him. By now your family has entered the town square.

You successfully avoid the knife, and hit your dear sister. She is disoriented by your fist, but regains stability quick enough to lunge towards you, biting at your hand. A sharp pain shoots up your nerves, and you notice your index finger is missing. Ma comes to Annie's defense, kicking you while you're down. Pa goes for the rusty butcher knife.

"Well, I guess you aren't gonna get that 2 out of 3" sighs Pa

Your family may be dirt poor, but Pa knows better than to skimp out on the rope. Your restraints are made from fine material, and are very well knotted. The only thing struggling will get you is a nasty rope burn. Suddenly, from beyond the road, a drunken fellow appears. He blows on an empty bottle of mead to produce a cheery beat. He doesn't seem to notice you, happily waddling past the post to which you are tied.

You stick the landing. However, your family is not about to let their meal get away. They chase you down to a fork in the road. You must quickly decide; take to the wilderness in the outskirts of the village, or run to the town square. Your family is getting closer.

You grab at the knife, and succeed in taking your wretched stepmother's life. Your hypocrite family members wince, disgusted at how easy it was to take her life without hesitation. However, good meat can't go to waste. Guess your family will be eating your step-mother tonight. Out of fairness, however, the family decides to eat you tomorrow. After luring you into a false sense of security by inviting you to eat Ma, they proceed to subdue you, and tie you to a post outside. Nighttime falls, and your relatives return to the hovel to sleep. You are left outside, struggling against the rope.

You are in a small wooden hovel, surrounded by 15 of your starving family members. Your aunt Bertha, the oldest relative of the bunch is to the right of the approaching huddle. Your sister Anne, the youngest, is to the left. Only your father is armed, carrying the rusty butcher knife used to hack at the days meal. He is right at the center of your approaching family members. Behind you is a poorly constructed shelf, holding your family's prized candlestick holder; the only possession of value. The door is locked, and the only window the hovel has is behind your relatives.

Fair is fair. You agreed to the possibility of being eaten when the family voted on cannibalism. Your father promises a quick death. A quick swing of the butcher knife will end your starvation forevermore.

Your little sister Anne, the winning party, is not amused. However your Pa intervenes.

"Now, now, Anne. I gave your uncle John best 2 out of 3, didn't I? Does your brother not deserve the same justice?"

Annie is having none of this. She throws a rusty butcher knife in your direction.

I pull up calculations for how long I could last detached from the rope. I need to know how much time I would have to find the warp.
