>Look

You are in O’Connell Street. There are a suspiciously large amount of new trees here. There is a large spike in the middle of the street. On your left is the GPO, Ann Summers is on your right. Every other shop sells fast food.

You are in Sherrif Street. There are a group of young men looking at you.

>Look at young men

The young men look like they mean business.

>Talk to young men

Rather then talk to you the young men rob you and beat you senseless. You come round half an hour later. You are in the gutter.

You need to get out of the gutter first.

You get out of the gutter and brush yourself off. Your head clears. You are still in Sherrif Street. The young men are no longer here.
