"My Gnome! I mean, my home!"

The front yard is covered in chicken entrails. The garden gnome seems to be the center of it, with a few bits stuck to his pointed cap.

The TV begins to flicker and the image is lost. It goes static and while you're looking for the remote, you hear a voice.

"Beware. You will be visited soon. He will try to decieve you."

You see the image of a chicken in the static. You rub your eyes, but it does not go away. It stares at you... a dim silhouette. Definitely a chicken though.

You grab the remote and hit the first button you can. You were hoping for the "Stop" or maybe "Rewind". But you accidentally hit, "Fast Forward".

"Your time is up, back in the box!" Chinaren says in a quick highpitched voice and before you have time to do anything, he picks you up.

Lordy laughs in a loud high-pitched superspeed voice while they load up your computer.

They throw you back into IF. Your holiday in RL is over.
