pop the garbage truck's tires.

Pissed that the garbage man took your hobo, you sneak around the side of the truck and try to stab the tires with your scissors, but the tires are heavy duty and very large making puncturing too difficult for your scrawny teenager form.

try to find a hunting store

You see a newspaper stand over on the next block. You walk over there and ask for a map, which they have. The nearest hunting store is over in Boston, about three miles away.

That's the spirit! You start heading southeast to Boston. Waiting for stoplights and maneuvering through crowds makes each mile take half an hour. You reach Boston later that morning. Your old apartment is not far away from your current location and has some of your stuff. Should we go there?

Your mom's room, look for mementos
Break out into tears
Also look for your phone charger

You find a picture of your mom smiling and sitting in a wheelchair as she looks through the nursery glass at the hospital at you. You realize that your dad took the picture. You cry. Then you grab your phone charger.

You go through her room looking for goodies. You find an envelope stash of money in her nightstand drawer and count $345, no doubt for paying bills. You also take a pen, a pad of paper, and a small bottle of pepper spray. When you check her closet, you find a small lunchbox-sized safe with combination entry. You don't know the combination.

You toss your findings on the couch. You can't carry all of this stuff on your person.

Available areas:

Hall closet
Your room
