You carefully put the folder back in its place. If it's top secret, then you have no business looking at it. Besides, you are supposed to be cleaning. After brushing off a few of the table tops, you notice some cobwebs underneath the windowsill. Your eyes search the room, looking for a broom or duster that you can use to remove the cobwebs. As you are searching, you begin to sense a strange smell in the air. One that you hadn't realized was there before. It smells delicious. You let the scent grab you by the sleeve and pull you. You find yourself looking at a tray that was hidden behind the desk. On the tray there is coffee. It is still steaming. Next to it is a hot-dog, and on another plate is a crispy looking, heavily glazed doughnut. Your hand slowly goes towards the hot-dog, and closing your eyes you take a bite out of it. You hadn't eaten anything since the warp into this world. As soon as you swallow, you begin to get a strange feeling in your stomach. With a series of cramps you fall to the floor, feeling numb. You see a pink note that you must have missed before. It reads, "Do not eat. It's an experiment using a type of newly discovered snake-venom.
The End
