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 step off the path onto the the jagged rocks surrounding it and begin looking for a short cut. Soon enough you see a rock scramble that you estimate could cut a nearly forty-minutes off the time you’d spend weaving your way up via that switchbacks of the trail.
You step unto the first rock and feel a slight give, but continue climbing. The second rock feels even looser. The third rock gives way completely. You flail, trying to get a hold on something, but now all the rocks have given way and you’re riding them, tumbling all the way down the mountain.
