<<timed 1s transition>> On the lake, it's quiet and still too early for the sun to disturb the peace. <</timed>>
<<timed 8s transition>> Finn never liked the sun anyway. <</timed>>
<<timed 12s transition>> Still it rises. <</timed>>
<<timed 16s>>
<<goto [[sunrise]]>>
<</timed>><<timed 1s transition>> A few seconds pass and the sun sputters to life behind the tree line in deep, ugly oranges. <</timed>>
<<timed 4s transition>> It has been a while since Finn stayed out this late. Yet even then, it had never wanted to. <</timed>>
<<timed 10s transtion>> However, today it feels the subtle, unspeakable influence of an unseen force. It hesitates. It's waiting for a sign from the force to [[go back into the lake|safety]] or maybe to [[stay to watch the sun rise|sunrise suicide]]. <</timed>>
<<timed 18s transition>> You are the unseen force and Finn is waiting for you. What should Finn do? <</timed>>
<<timed 32s>>
<<goto "safety">>
<</timed>>Instinctively as the sun fills more of the sky, Finn slides down into the waters of its lake.
It swims further and further to the bottom. Pushing effortlessly against the cool and familiar surroundings with it's webbed fingers and flippers.
<<timed 9s transition>> It reaches its home tired and wanting rest. Piles of bones and sunken loot litter its submarine dwelling. It curls up and covers its head with its massive spike fin tail. <</timed>>
<<timed 18s transition>> Force or no force, it wasn't going to risk dying in the sun. Maybe it wouldn't have died. It doesn't trouble itself with these thoughts. <</timed>>
<<timed 30s transition>> And yet another immortal night passes into dreamless day in the safety of the cave. <</timed>>
<<timed 50s transition>> The [[End |explore other options]]. <</timed>> Would you like to explore more story options with Finn?
[[Yes |sunrise]] [[No |end]]Thank you for reading. <<timed 1s transition>> Finn forces its fishy flesh to stay out of the water. It gulps a breath of air. <</timed>>
<<timed 5s transition>> The sky grows increasingly brighter. Its giant, bulging eyes try to contract their cavernous pupils... <</timed>>
<<timed 9s transition>> The threat of the scorching sun begins to overwhelm Finn's nocturnal mind. Its muscles quake with primal fear and the instinctual urge to jump back into the water. <</timed>>
<<timed 15s transition>> The light continues to creep down the trees far up and behind Finn. If fish could cry, it would be. <</timed>>
<<timed 26s transition>> But it your compulsion for it to stay standing and awaiting the sun's touch is holding Finn's legs still in the water. <</timed>>
<<timed 34s transition>> Do you [[let go |safety]] of its legs or [[keep holding |joy]]? <</timed>>
<<timed 50s transition>>
<<goto "safety">>
<</timed>>Finn's eyes finally adjust to the light of morning.
<<timed 3s transition>> How had it never had the courage in its long immortal life to see what morning looked like? <</timed>>
<<timed 10s transition>> Had it not been for you holding it here, it may have slunk back into its lake dwelling for another day of dreamless sleep. <</timed>>
<<timed 17s transition>> But no. Because of you Finn sees the morning sky for the first time. <</timed>>
<<timed 29s transition>> Finn not knowing what to do now that it's in the sun turns toward the unseen force that held it here. <</timed>>
<<timed 40s transition>> But you are gone. <</timed>>
<<timed 60s transition>> The [[End |explore other options]]. <</timed>>
