The Birthday by Cowboy [Johnny Reb]




This would be a VERY appropriate time and place to thank my friend Preben, who has done the graphics and bravely stood up to my crazy ideas and complaints.
And to Rob, the only beta tester who has taken the job serious. Thank you guys.
You have been going steady with her for almost two years, but lately your relationship hasn't been all that hot. Your girlfriend, Vickie, seems to be losing interest in you and more than once her excuses for not being able to see you have been like water: Tasteless and see-through.
Not only is your relationship with Vickie on its way down a slope, but this other guy from school has started to make passes at her, and to your regret it seems like Vickie is not entirely uninterested. This guy has all the things you don't: A fancy set of wheels, stinking rich parents and to top it off, the family is pretty high up on the town's social ladder. A thing Vickie's mom appreciates VERY much.
Press a key Vickie's birthday is coming up soon, as a matter of fact it's the 27th, and you have a nasty feeling that this may be your last chance of regaining her interest in you. The only problem is that she has "conveniently forgotten" to invite you to her birthday this year, a very clear indication of the state of your relationship, and it's not very likely that James, the butler, will see things your way and let you into the mansion.
So better get on with the game:
Curtains, please! (Press any key to start.)
This is your bedroom. The only place in the house you can truly call your own.
It's an ok room, but God forbid your parents ever found out. So you, like any other teenager, complain about it when ever you can. From the lack of floor space, which would increase considerably should you decide to clean up the place, over the fact that your sister's room is bigger, to the curtains your mom has made for you, which you think are too feminine.
Speaking about your mom, she has told you often enough to clean up in here, but you see no reason why you should ruin the atmosphere (at least not until she starts threatening that if you don't do it she will.)
Your desk, with the computer is standing near the window, and like always, your clothes are scattered around the floor … Jeans under the bed, a shirt over a chair, underwear here and there. You have managed to keep the area in front of the door clear so you can get out. Yes, this is definitely a boy's room.

> x curtains
At the lower hem of one of the curtains you feel a hard object.
Very carefully you slide the object out and a small key falls into your hand.

> unlock drawer
The key fits nicely in the lock, and quick turn, a click and the drawer is unlocked and slides silently on its rails as you open it.

> x drawer
It's still the drawer that belongs in your desk, but now it's unlocked. A pocket calendar is inside the desk drawer.

> search jeans
Slipping your fingers into the pockets of your jeans, you feel a crumbled piece of paper in a corner.
You retrieve the paper from the pocket and drop the jeans to the floor.

> s
You move south.
The house is still quiet.
The landing is on the first floor, and if you had changed the light bulb in the ceiling like you were asked to do a couple of weeks ago, your chances of seeing things would have been very much improved.
You can make out the stairway leading down to the hall, and in the dim light you can see the doors to your parents bedroom and the bathroom, which would be east and west, not to mention the door leading into your room, right behind you to the north.

> w
A shampoo bottle flies past you, missing your face by an inch.
You quickly dodge and catch a blurred glimpse of your sisters naked body half covered by the glass wall of the shower booth.
As you look at her, she raises her arm again, ready to throw the soap container and you begin to wonder if it wouldn't be tactically healthy to leave the room.


> e
You hastily retreat from the bathroom followed by numerous missiles, flying like angry mosquitoes around your ears. The house is still quiet.
The landing is on the first floor, and if you had changed the light bulb in the ceiling like you were asked to do a couple of weeks ago, your chances of seeing things would have been very much improved.
You can make out the stairway leading down to the hall, and in the dim light you can see the doors to your parents bedroom and the bathroom, which would be east and west, not to mention the door leading into your room, right behind you to the north. The door slams and your sister walks past you from the bathroom with only a towel wrapped around her.
She takes a swing at you as she passes, but you easily dodge it, and she disappears down the hall, where a door is firmly closed behind her.

> w
You move west.
The air in the bathroom is damp, and little drops of moisture clings to the mirror above the sink and the bathmat feels damp under your feet.
There's a clean smell of soap and deodorant in the air and you recognize your sister's perfume. You have left the door open, leading out to the landing.

> x mat
On hands and knees you run your fingers through the threads of the bathmat.
At first nothing... but then you feel something against your fingertips and pick up a a tiny hairpin that was buried deep in the threads of the bathmat, probably dropped there by your sister.

> get hairpin
You take the hairpin from the bathmat.

> bend hairpin
You saw Mike Hammer do this in a movie.
He needed to get in somewhere and took a hairpin from his gorgeous secretary, Stella's, hair and bend it into the shape of a lock pick which is exactly what you're holding in your hand now...pure magic...

> d
You move down.
The entrance hall is the first room you come into when you enter the house so your mom is very strict about keeping it nice and clean.
A dresser is placed against the wall and a mirror is hanging on the wall just above it. When your parents have visitors over, your mom usually puts to candles and a vase of flowers on that dresser, but for the moment it's empty. Behind you is the main entrance which leads out to the street. There are doors here leading east or west, entrances to the living room or the kitchen. The stairs in front of you leads up to the landing on the first floor.

> e
You move east.
In the old days this was where the family gathered in the evening, and you used to sit at the dinner table doing your homework with your dad helping you with the difficult math.
Now-a-days you hardly have time to eat dinner with the rest of the family, and it's only VERY seldom that you sit here in the evenings watching TV.
The door leading out to the hall is situated behind you. Your dad is here, sitting in his favourite chair reading the paper.

> sit on sofa
You sit down on the couch.

> search sofa
You sneak your hand down behind the cushions.
Earlier you had found money that had fallen out of your sisters boyfriends pockets while he and she was making out here.
Once you even found a pair of her flimsy panties. You hung them on the couch and you'll never forget the way she looked when your mom asked her what her panties was doing in the living room.
Your fingers feel something hard under the cushion, and very carefully you pull out the remove control to the video machine.

> watch video
You press the play button on the remote control.
At first nothing happens, but then you hear soft moaning and the picture fades in.
A couple is involved in some heavy sex on a bed. She's on her back, her legs wide apart and she's working a dildo in and out of her pussy.
A man is lying behind her, thrusting his hard memeber in and out of her, her juices making it shine glistering in the light. The woman is shaking out of control, her moans dsounding louder and louder as she appreaches her climax.
It suddenly strikes you that the bedroom on the film looks very much like your parents, and that the woman on the bed have a striking resemblance with the neighbour.
Press any keyYou don't get at chance to get a closer look who the man is. Your dad has jumped up from his chair, in one big leap he stands beside you and rips the remote from your hands, turning off the video.
Casually saying something about an error from the video store, he puts the remove control in his pocket and returns to his chair.
As if he suddenly gets an idea, he takes out his wallet and hands you some money, mumbling something about a little extra allowance.
He then picks up the newspaper and stares intensely at an add for a washing detergent as if it was the most important thing in the world.

> ask father for allowance
Your dad mumbles something about the speed with which you spend your money, but finally reach into his wallet and takes out some notes and hands them to you.

(Getting off the couch first)
You move west.
The entrance hall is the first room you come into when you enter the house so your mom is very strict about keeping it nice and clean.
A dresser is placed against the wall and a mirror is hanging on the wall just above it. When your parents have visitors over, your mom usually puts to candles and a vase of flowers on that dresser, but for the moment it's empty. Behind you is the main entrance which leads out to the street. There are doors here leading east or west, entrances to the living room or the kitchen. The stairs in front of you leads up to the landing on the first floor.

> out
You move out.
You are outside your house.
The air is a little chilly, but the spring is slowly approaching.
To the east, in the distance, you can see the woods. It has this faint greenish color indicating that the bulbs are about to burst.
To the west the road continues through the town, and right across the street, to the south, is the clothes shop where your mom and sister like to spend hours. Behind you lies the entrance to your house, should you decide to go in.

> w
You move west.
The road goes east / west, and as you go down the road, you pass your garden where the flowers are trying to penetrate the dirt to get their share of the sun.
Across the street, to the south, you can see the entrance of a small alley. It's difficult to make out from over here, but it looks like the alley goes behind the clothes shop.
Further down the road to the west you can see a silhouette of another store.

> w
You move west.
You are in the center of town now and still there isn't much traffic.
Ahead of you, to the west, is a small shopping area. It isn't much, but it's all the town needs.
You are standing outside one of the more fashionable shops in town, looking at the door leading into the shop. Although small, the jeweller has an exquisite collection of gems and all the rich people in town (the few there are) do their shopping here.

> w
You move west.
The road parts here, turning to the north towards a couple of shops, or east - west out of town.
A candy shop is located just across the street to the south.
It's a little cooler out here in the open, the wind isn't stopped by buildings and you can see the open fields to the west.

> n
You move north.
You are on the a street leading north.
This was originally the main street of the town before the expansion in the 80's when the new main street was built and all the new shops popped up.
It's quiet here, with very little traffic and just a few shops.
To the east of you is the entrance to the drugstore and further to the north the entrance to the old grocery where you use to work every day after school and behind you, to the south is the new mainstreet with all its noise and traffic.

> e
You move east.
This is the reason the old grocer is almost out of business.
The bright neon lights shines from the ceiling, sending flashes of light bouncing off the shiny merchandise as you walk down between the aisles.
None of the atmosphere from the old grocery is here, instead bright lights and colors drags your attention to all the stuff on the rows of shelves.
The sound of soft music is made to make you want to buy things.
At the back of the store you can see a lot of crates stacked against the wall, another proof of how a big chain of shops can kill a small business.
The automatic doors leading out to the street silently close behind you.

> x crates
As you walk around the stack of crates, you notice that they are not pushed entirely against the wall.
The crates was hiding an opening in the northern wall, leading into some kind of a storage room.

> n
You move north.
You are blinded as you walk from the brightly lit drugstore to this dimly lit storage facility, and you dare not move for some time.
You can only vaguely make out silhouettes of boxes and crates, stacked all over the place.
A solitary light bulb hangs from the ceiling in the far end of the room, but it's far from enough to light up this storage and you wonder if you shouldn't just wait and aloow your eyes to adjust.

> wait
You stand motionless for a short while and allow your eyes to get used to the dim light in here.
When the silhouettes in the storage room becomes clearer, you look around again.

> l
Your eyes are slowly getting used to the dim light in here, and you see your shadow on the floor indicating that the exit out of here lies behind you.
As you look around you notice a pair of legs sticking out from behind a crate a little further ahead of you.

> x legs
The legs look very nice and feminine. As you look closer you notice that they are slowly moving in a steady rhythm. At the same time you hear a faint moaning from behind the crates.
You silently walk around the big boxes that blocks your view, and the sight almost takes your breath away.
On a blanket on top of one of the boxes lies a girl. Her jeans are lying in a heap on the floor, her panties pulled down, dangling from her feet. Her legs are parted and she is slowly moving a dildo in and out of her pussy. The dim light reflects in her juice covered pussy lips, and her pussy is hungrily engulfing the wet shiny shaft of the toy as she pushes it deep up inside her.

> kiss liza
You try to press your lips against Liza's, but she turns her head away too captivated by the feeling of the dildo in her wet pussy.

> touch tits
Hypnotized by the firm breasts in front of you, you slowly lean over and start to lick one of them very gently.
Feeling your tongue circling around her rock hard nipple, Liza opens her eyes and smiles at you. She reaches out and runs her fingers through your hair pulling your face closer to her sensitive breast.
She lets out loud moans when you sink your teeth into her nipple and teasingly pull back while the tip of your tongue licks it hard, and her hand between her widespread thighs is moving faster.

> use dildo
You take the dildo Liza hands and run it around her hard protruding nipples.
She squirms under the treatment and moans loudly. Her hand slides through your hair as you bend over and press your lips against her nipple biting them gently one by one.
She then grabs your hand with the dildo, and leads it in between her thighs.
You run the head of the dildo up and down her partly open slit a few times, making her moan in lust, and then you press it up inside her wet pussy.
She lets out a scream as the dildo slides up inside her tight pussy, and you quickly cover her mouth with yours to silence her.... The dildo is up inside her now... her hands on her breasts massaging her nipples and her abdomen moves back and forth fucking the dildo.
You help her the best you can by thrusting the dildo in and out of her at the same time..... (Press a key)
She feverishly reach down to your jeans and unzip them, knocking over a box in the process, and soon you feel her hand on your hard cock starting to stroke it with an increasing pace. You feel the tension build up inside you and as she comes in a violent orgasm, she sinks her nails into your rigid shaft sending you over the edge too.
The orgasm flows like lava through your body, sending load after load of hot cum out, hitting her thigh and pussy. She shakes and clings to you as her orgasm fades away, and finally collapses on the crate next to you.
After a while, she slowly pulls herself together. All of a sudden she seems a little shy realizing that she has exposed herself to a stranger.
She gets up and dress with her back turned to you, then she turns around and quickly kiss you on the cheek before she runs out in to the store.
Suddenly the storage feels very empty. You put your clothes in order and get ready to leave the same way you came in.

You move south.
You are back in the drugstore.
The brught light shines in your eyes as you enter. Liza the employee slips past you, correcting her slacks, sending you a quick smile and disappears.

You move north.
This is the place where you used to work everyday after school, bringing out groceries.
The indefinable mixed smell of the contens hidden in various jars, boxes and bags surrounds you as you step into the shop, bringing back memories from when you worked here. Since you stopped working here, the old grocer hasn't had another delivery boy in your place.
Little signs around the shop tell you that business isn't going too well for your old friend the grocer, and you have a feeling that the little bell above the door isn't ringing as often as it used to. The old grocer is here.

> help grocer
The old man looks at you for a short while.
He then pads out back and returns a short while after carrying a package which he hands over to you.
"Give it to Mr. Calhoun, the owner of the Jewelry shop, but be sure to get a receipt!", he says as he hands you the packet.

You hand over the package to the jeweler.
He thanks you and then walks around the counter, open up the register and give you a tip.

You are outside of town now, walking along a fence.
Fields as far as you can see, and the smell of grass and wild flowers.
The road stretches east and west, and ahead of you, to the west, it turns in a bend and disappears behind some hills.

> w
You move west.
You are walking along the road, between green hills, enjoying the warmth of the sun on you as you walk. A little further up ahead, the road makes a turn to the south, and you can just make out the entrance to a drive way that leads up to a huge mansion. Behind you, the road leads back east into town.

> s
You move south.
The gravel crunches under your shoes as you walk south on the drive way leading up to the mansion.
The drive way is lined with a brick wall, covered with thick foliage and nicely kept flowerbeds are planted at the base.
There must be somebody home, because a brand new car is parked close to the porch.

> x car
Wow.. It's a Rover and the latest model.
You press your nose against the window, in the slim hope of smelling the new leather. There's a framed picture of an ugly looking Doberman hanging from the rearview mirror.
You then gently run your hands over the smooth paint, enjoying the smoothness and admiring a wonderful piece of art.
As you look down you see a stick lying under the car, hardly visible.

> get stick
You take the dry stick.

> s
You move south.
You are on the porch, standing outside the huge oak wood door which is the main entrance to this mansion. Turning around towards the north gives you the view of the main gate at the end of the long driveway.
Looking at the huge doors makes you suddenly feel very small, and the huge knocker, richly ornamented, tells of wealth and money to spare.
Thick folliage to the west cast a nice shade on the porch and has probably been allowed to grow for that purpose.

> knock on door
You lift the knocker to a horizontal position and then let it fall.
With a thundering noise the knocker lands on the door and you can hear the echo on the other side of the door. Slowly the door opens and the Butler, James, appears

> give jewelry to james
James takes the birthday present as you hand it to him. He then turns around, and as he enters the house he pushes the door with his foot. As the door slowly closes you see Jame's back disappear into the the dusk of the hall.
You manage to slip your foot in between the door and the frame, preventing it from closing completely.

> in
With James out of the way, it looks like the coast is clear.
You carefully push the door open and for a short while you stare into the mysterious dusk.
Then you take a deep breath and enter. The sound of your footsteps echoes as you walk across the marble floor in the entrance hall.
The only light here is the little light that comes in from the windows on each side of the huge main entrance door.
The sparse furnishing includes a cupboard, a couple of chairs, and a table. All made of dark wood adding to the glooming atmosphere.
There's a door to the west of you, almost invisible against the dark wall, and ahead of you, to the south the entrance hall continues in yet another big hall. You can of course leave the hall by going out, should you desire so.

> open cupboard
The knob on the cupboard door feels warm against your fingers.
You pull gently at the knob, and the door slowly opens with a squeaking sound.

> x cupboard
The cupboard is made of some kind of dark wood making it blend in with the walls. The cupboard is open. An unlit flashlight is inside the cupboard.

> get flashlight
You take the unlit flashlight from the cupboard.

You move out.
You are on the porch, standing outside the huge oak wood door which is the main entrance to this mansion. Turning around towards the north gives you the view of the main gate at the end of the long driveway.
Looking at the huge doors makes you suddenly feel very small, and the huge knocker, richly ornamented, tells of wealth and money to spare.
Thick folliage to the west cast a nice shade on the porch and has probably been allowed to grow for that purpose.

> x foliage
You walk closer to the foliage and very gently spread it.
There's nothing there, but you notice a small iron gate a few yards down the drive way embedded in the western wall.
You must have overlooked it as you walked up the drive way.

The gravel crunches under your shoes as you walk south on the drive way leading up to the mansion.
The drive way is lined with a brick wall, covered with thick foliage and nicely kept flowerbeds are planted at the base.
There must be somebody home, because a brand new car is parked close to the porch. A small iron gate is embedded in the wall.
It's almost impossible to see from the driveway.

> open gate
You open the gate. (How clever!)
There's a faint squeak as the gate swings open, and the huge park is right there in front of you.
Unfortunately so is the guard dog!
Alerted by the sound of the gate, the huge dog comes running towards you. One look at its curled back lips and its sharp teeth is enough to make you retreat to the relatively safety behind the gate.
The dog stands at the gate for some time, growling at you, but then it apparently lose interest in you and disappears around the corner.

> call rover
you walk up to the gate and lean over it.
In a voice low enough not to be heard from the house you call out for the dog.
At the sound of your voice the huge dog comes running around the corner, storming towards the gate.

> throw stick at tree
You throw the stick at the trees.
The dog gives chase and runs towards the apple trees.
As he gets closer, he scares the squirrel who moves to the other side of the trunk.
Baffled by this experience the dog stops in his tracks, and immediately forgets all about you.
He sits down at the base of the tree and stares up into the thick foliage.

> w
You move west.
Tranquility all over!
As you walk through the grass, you can hear the birds singing, and the wind blowing softly through the leaves of the fruit trees standing near by.
A garden shed of some kind lies in front of you, and a little further away a wing of the mansion is seen through the trees to the west. Behind you, to the east is the gate leading to the drive way.
The sun reflects in the shiny surface of the glass door to the south of you, while in the opposite direction another glass door lies in the shadow of the trees. The dog is sitting under the tree, gazing upwards trying to see through the leaves.

> w
You move west.
Something that looks like a toolshed can be seen just across the gravel path that runs east - west through the park.
It's nothing but a wooden shed but neatly painted, and although it looks a little out of place in a park like this, it probably has its function.
The smell of flowers are much stronger here as you are deep inside the park area, and birds are hopping around in the flowerbeds, looking for seeds, and worms.

> in
You open the door and enter the shed It's almost completely dark in here.
A few streaks of light shines through the cracks in the walls, but they are more blinding than illuminating.
You manage to vaguely see the silhouettes of different objects in here, but can't make out what they are. The door leading out is behind you.

> turn on flashlight
Your finger flips the little switch on the flashlight and a beam of light erects from the front.
NO! This is NOT Star Wars, and you're NOT holding a light saber!

> turn on lamp
You turn the little switch on the lamp, and the shed is lit up with a soft yellow light.

> look under sofa
Kneeling on the floor you peek in under the sofa.
Aha! A ladder has been pushed in under the sofa, and one of the sofa's legs is resting on it, thus the wobbling movement.

> get ladder
You take the wooden ladder.

> out

Wow!! is the house really this big?
As you look up it looks like the windows on the first floor almost reaches the skies, not to mention the roof which you can hardly see.
The wall is made of yellow bricks and the lower part is covered with greens plants that has slowly crept the wall, over the years. To the north the park continues, and you can just make out the iron gate in the distance.

> lean ladder against wall
You manage to pull the ladder across the lawn and place it up against the wall under, what you hope will be, Vickie's window.

> climb ladder
Looking around you, you put your hands on the railing of the ladder and starts your ascend to the window high above you. Wow.... Talk about heights... You glance down for a second and hastily turn your head away. Can that small square down there really be the huge park you have just walked through.
But at least it looks like you have picked the right window.

> look through window
Covering for the light with your hands, you press your face against the glass and look into Vickie's room.
On her bed you see the paper from your present. It looks like James did give it to her after all, and in your mind you send him a silent apology.
Vickie is standing in front of the big mirror on the wall. She tilts her head cutely as she tries to fit one of the earrings. The necklace is already placed around her neck, and it looks brilliant against her T-shirt, although you are sure it would look even better against her naked skin.

You move down.

You move east.
Tranquility all over!
As you walk through the grass, you can hear the birds singing, and the wind blowing softly through the leaves of the fruit trees standing near by.
A garden shed of some kind lies in front of you, and a little further away a wing of the mansion is seen through the trees to the west. Behind you, to the east is the gate leading to the drive way.
The sun reflects in the shiny surface of the glass door to the south of you, while in the opposite direction another glass door lies in the shadow of the trees. The dog is sitting under the tree, gazing upwards trying to see through the leaves.

> e
You move east.
The gravel crunches under your shoes as you walk south on the drive way leading up to the mansion.
The drive way is lined with a brick wall, covered with thick foliage and nicely kept flowerbeds are planted at the base.
There must be somebody home, because a brand new car is parked close to the porch. A small iron gate is embedded in the wall.
It's almost impossible to see from the driveway.

> s
You move south.
You are on the porch, standing outside the huge oak wood door which is the main entrance to this mansion. Turning around towards the north gives you the view of the main gate at the end of the long driveway.
Looking at the huge doors makes you suddenly feel very small, and the huge knocker, richly ornamented, tells of wealth and money to spare.
Thick folliage to the west cast a nice shade on the porch and has probably been allowed to grow for that purpose.

> in
With James out of the way, it looks like the coast is clear.
You carefully push the door open and for a short while you stare into the mysterious dusk.
Then you take a deep breath and enter. The sound of your footsteps echoes as you walk across the marble floor in the entrance hall.
The only light here is the little light that comes in from the windows on each side of the huge main entrance door.
The sparse furnishing includes a cupboard, a couple of chairs, and a table. All made of dark wood adding to the glooming atmosphere.
There's a door to the west of you, almost invisible against the dark wall, and ahead of you, to the south the entrance hall continues in yet another big hall. You can of course leave the hall by going out, should you desire so.

> s
You move south.
This is not just a hallway. It's a ballroom!
A marble floor, shining in the light, with a mosaic of black tiles stretches from wall to wall, lit up by the light shining in through the glass door in the western wall. The glass doors leads out to a park.
At the far end, to the south, a huge staircase lead up to the first floor.
There are doors on each side of you, and the hall continues to the north, into the entrance hall.

> u
You move up.
A first floor the size of your whole house.
You are standing in the middle of the room. Behind you is the staircase leading down to the hallway, and as you are facing south you will have doors to the left, right and in front of you. (or east, west and south, should you prefer that.)
You hear muffled sounds from behind one of the doors, but can't quite make out which one it is.

> w
You walk a few steps to the right and are now facing a door.

> knock on door
"knock, knock" You knock on the door......
Sounds are heard from the other side, then the sound of a key being inserted in the lock.
A faint "click" and the door slowly opens, and Vickie is standing before you. You imediately notice that she's wearing the earrings that you bought her, and when she sees your eyes looking at her earrings, she breaks out in a hugs smile. Throws her arms around your neck and pulls you close to her.
"Thank you, Dear! (Ohh, She actually called you dear!) They are beautiful! I never thought you could afford a presendt like this."
She runs to the mirror and looks at herself, slowly turning her head from side to side. Back to you, her arms around you once again, kissing your cheeks and then your lips. "Just wait till the other girls sees these at school tomorrow, Oh! I can't wait to show them."
Vickie pulls herself together, getting serious she looks at you. "I wish I could ask you to stay, but my mom is having a party for me, and I really need to get ready. Let's talk at school tomorrow. I hope you don't mind me not following you to the door."
She gives you a quick kiss on the lips and closes the door.With your head spinning you walk down the stairs, through the hall and out through the door.
You hope that she will be as friendly when you see her at school tomorrow.


Better luck next time.
