Merry Christmas and Happy Psych Advent Calendar!
First of all, I don't own any of the characters and mean no infringement. Just having some fun.
Secondly, I don't know how many of you have ever read the Choose Your Own Adventure stories, but I used to love them as a kid. I've always been a goodie-two-shoes, but I would always try to take the most dangerous path to try to get killed. Chase the smuggles into Pirates' Cove? Hell YES!
In that vein, you will soon be reading a multiple-stories story. When you get to the bottom of a chapter, you'll have some choices to make. Your choices affect the story you're reading (and sometimes, yes, may ultimately result in your untimely demise). Have fun!
Also, in true Choose Your Own Adventure-style, it's in second person (you're Shawn, btw) and present tense.
It took far longer than I was expecting to plan this out.
Enjoy!!
It's Christmas Eve and you're putting the finishing touches on your present for one Carlton Lassiter. Sticking down the bow with a flourish, you take a step back to admire your handiwork.
"He's going to hate it," Gus warns.
You wave a hand dismissively at your best friend. "Don't ruin the Christmas spirit, Gus. Lassie Claus is going to love it."
"Are we talking about the same Lassiter? About this tall," Gus motions with his hand. "Perpetually grumpy? Carries a loaded gun?"
You all but ignore him. Instead, you smile proudly at your work and give the bow a pat.
Gus spies Lassiter out of the corner of his eye.
"I'm out of here," he announces. "Enjoy your funeral."
"Wuss!" you yell as Gus runs away.
Still at a distance, Lassiter's long strides bring him closer. His eyes grow large.
"Spencer!" he barks. "What the hell did you do?"
You smile beatifically and explain.
What did you get Lassiter?
A) If you wrapped his car as a present, go to chapter 2
B) If you decorated his lawn with inflatable snow globes, go to chapter 3
C) If you got him the stray cat you took in, go to chapter 4
