Jinge and the spiky guys are laughing at something you didn’t hear. In the half-turn of a side-splitting guffaw, Jinge notices you, frowns and tries to reorganise my thoughts. “Epson! Is that you? I hardly recognised you. I thought I must be stoned out of my mind…”
”You are stoned out of your mind,” one of the goths corrects him.
”Epson, this is Karl and this is Grim,” says Jinge.
The goths nod some pleased to meet yous. Grim is incidentally one of the least grim people you have ever met. “You play pool?” he says.
”No, I’ve never…?” you splutter.
”I’ll teach you,” says Grim.
”You’ll probably beat him,” says Karl, “Grim’s shit at pool.”
”Fuck off, Karl,” says Grim with no heat whatsoever. “Wanna play?”
Do you take up Grim on his offer? (goto 99)
Do you make your excuses and look for Adrian? (goto 97)
Or do you rejoin Bae? (goto 79)
