Greetings! The following is part of an interactive fiction project we’re running on Meh for April Fools Day. Feel free to join in, or, if you’re just shopping, ignore all this and scroll down to the features.

You reach a small, flat area among crags of rocks and find yourself in a strange sort of settlement. Surrounding you are what look almost like igloos, except made of hardened clay and stone. In each, a small circle–barely big enough to crawl through, and halfway up the side–marks the only way in.

The wind has really picked up now. The storm, it seems, is upon you. Making matters worse, you can see, some ways up, the trail continues, but in order to get there you would have to scale a smooth wall of rock at the end of the clearing.

For the first time ever, you miss your cubicle back at work. But there’s no time for daydreaming. You’ve got a decision to make.

Take shelter in one of the strange igloos.
Look for a foot hold in the wall and keep going.
