By¢now, not only did you lose her phone¢number, but you also don't recall¢how to get there.¢¢XXX¢ Day becomes night as you drive¢around in circles. The roads are¢narrow and dark and even with your¢high-beams on, it is still hard to¢see.¢¢ Suddenly, a little dog appears¢out of nowhere. You swerve to avoid¢the animal, only to lose control and¢slide into a hole. You see stars¢around you, but fortunately you are¢not hurt. The only damage is a very¢flat tire. Looking in the back of¢the trunk, you discover that the¢spare tire was used last time you¢visited your mother. Suddenly you¢hear chattering noises from below.¢XXX¢¢Perhaps someone down there can help.¢You have only one choice, to¢investigate and attempt to find a¢spare tire.¢¢ Have fun adventuring and don't¢forget to visit your mom soon!¢əəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəəə
