You enter the Metropolitan Museum and head up to the Ancient Near Eastern Art Galleries. You notice a faint glowing light between the lamassu in the Assyrian court
[[Go walk through the glowing entryway]]
[[Turn around and go visit the Van Gogh paintings]]You emerge blinking in the hot sun. Dust blows in your face. You look around. A city of mudbrick shimmers in front of you.
[[Walk to the city]]
[[Wait to be rescued]]
You encounter an old friend, they ask you if you want to have coffee. You say
[[sure!]]
[[after I see the paintings]]You have coffee with a friend in the public cafeteria. It's nice to catch up. You head home, still wondering what that enigmatic glow was.
The EndYou spend the afternoon looking at Van Gogh paintings. You become extremely inspired. You go home and cut off your ear.
The End. You trudge toward the city. It seemed closer when you started, and you start to be hot.
[[Take a dip in the river]]
[[Keep walking]]You sit and wait. You feel like you are getting hotter and hotter. Did you put on sunscreen???
A winged genie appears in front of you.
[[say hello]]
[[run]]You dip your toe in the water, you start to feel a little cooler. Suddenly the current grabs you and sweeps you away. You are floating down the river, trying to keep your head above water. You feel yourself getting pulled down under the water. An Asag demon appears. You know it's dangerous but you can't get away.
It boils you alive in the river with it's gaze.
You die.
The end. You walk until you think you can't walk anymore. You are hot, tired, dusty and really really thirsty. Suddenly a Mushushu appears! You struggle to remember, are they helpful? evil?
[[run]]
[[stay and talk to the Mushushu]]You run away! Is it behind you? chasing you? you become disoriented and dazed. So hot and tired. You faint.
Waking up you realize you're standing and there is a glowing light. You trip.

A guard is yelling "Don't touch the art, hey you, hands off the art"
Regaining your composure you draw your hand back. Did any of that really happen?
The End"Hello" you say
"Hello" replies the genie, "You seem quite far from home. I don't recognize your accent"
"Actually I'm lost" you reply, "but you appear to be a genie, can you grant me three wishes"
"I'm not that kind of genie" it replies, but "I think I can give you one thing you need"
The world seems to get dark around the edges, the glow appears again. What's happening, you feel faint.
