Ah, another day spent hanging out in your favorite nearly abandoned train yard. Nothing but you, the chain link fence, and whatever the hell this thing is next you. You haven't got a care in the world - Not a single negative thought in your head. Just another day as whoever you are, hanging out in a train yard. Life is pretty great sometimes, huh? What will you do? |

>Climb over the chain fence  You are suddenly overcome with an insatiable urge to climb the chain link fence behind you. You think to yourself, why not try something new? You've spent the last 20 years hanging out at this rail yard at least once per day, but you've never actually done anything here except for admire the incredibly beautiful and detail-filled surroundings. You turn towards the fence...  You walk up to the chain link fence. You run your fingers between the links a few times - you love the low ringing sounds your fleshy body makes as they pluck the steel bars like hard guitar strings. After taking a minute to savor this moment (you deserve it!) you grasp the fence to begin your climb.  \ You climb nimbly and gracefully to the top of the fence. Wow! What a view! You can see every adjacent train yard for miles from the top of the fence. This just might be the best day of your entire life!
What now?

>Now climb down, but on the other side of the fence  You gracefully straddle the fence for a second, enjoying the view for one last moment before you climb back down to earth like a normal person. Don't fly too close to sun, young icarus! This view should be saved for special occasions only. You start to climb down.  .j You climb down from the fence, right into the adjacent train yard. This train yard is not at all like the one you're used to. This one has two of... whatever the hell those things are. This new environment seemed exciting at first, but soon you find yourself a bit on edge. You never should of gone up that fence.
Hey, what's your name, anyway?

 Yup! That sounds about right. Your name is Thomas Watcher, and one thing you really dislike is unnecessarily capitalizing entire words for emphasis - although you don't do much writing. Oh, who are you trying to fool here? You do a lot of writing! Your unfinished manuscript is sitting at home right now, actually. You're really excited about it. It's going to revolutionize the novel format. Think House of Leaves meets Naked Lunch with a very healthy dose of parodying the parody of self-referential academic wank literature. When you're not writing, you also do a lot thinking about stuff, with ethics being your favorite topic.
Another thing you really dislike is being in this new environment. Having two of.... those things is really upsetting you, and you feel called to take action, at some point.
What now, Thomas?

>Break off those levers and use them as stilts  That's the second best idea you've had all day! These dumb things, levers I guess, won't bother you if you break them and use them as stilts! Plus, if you have stilts, you'll be treated to more amazing views of the rail yards! You walk over between the two levers and firmly grasp them, one in each hand.  You mentally prepare yourself for what will surely be a herculean feat of strength. Nothing you can't handle though. You've always believed in yourself!

> Trolley problem: Reveal yourself.  Oh. Oh no. This is not good. That sound you just heard? That was a trolley train horn! Those two levers you just so carelessly pulled? They diverted a train onto this track! Thomas, this mistake just might be the worst one you've ever made. The train is on course to hit five people, killing them instantly, and it will all be your fault! This blood is on your hands now. However, there might be a way to divert the train onto the other track.... but there's someone tied up there too! If you manage to successfully figure out which combination of lever pulls changes the trains course, you're still going to be DIRECTLY responsible for the death of at least one person, Thomas. You really shouldn't have gone up that fence. Life sure is pretty bad sometimes, huh?
How are you gonna get yourself out of this mess?

> Thomas: There is no spoon trolley. Choose the third option! >Divert the train onto the other track. It is longer, giving you ample time to untie the person  Third option? What other option do you possibly have! You need to at least try to divert the train. One death is better than five, or, at least, that's what you learned into your intro to philosophy class at the local community college. Besides, the other track is longer! If you divert the train, you might be able to save that guy. This is your moment, Thomas. Everything has all been leading up to this. You can be a hero. All you need is to keep your cool and focus.... However, you panic, as you are prone to do in situations as stressful as this one. You jerk the levels back and forth in rapid succession, hoping somehow what you're doing helps.  Holy shit Thomas. What have you done?

>You fucking murdered those innocent people  You've really done it now, Thomas. This was the ultimate mistake. You tried to save those people on the tracks, but instead you blew up an entire train! Instead of letting five die, you've personally killed over five hundred! Your hubris was your downfall, Thomas. You're a murderer. What can you ever hope to do to redeem yourself now?
