Darkness of the Sphincts

You sidle along carefully in the darkness... Distant rustlings grow nearer... YOU ARE NOT ALONE!  You hastily try to light the lantern, but it is too late!  You have wandered into the slathering fangs of a GRUE!

You have:

• Stylish fedora
• Bullwhip
• Vintage Walther P-38 w/ 6 rounds
• Well-worn leather jacket
• Old brass lantern (unlit)

COOL PEOPLE THAT HAVE PLAYED ZORK DON'T MAKE THIS MISTAKE!.

You have chosen poorly.  You are dead.  Game Over, man!
