Choose Your Own Adventure, #47

Report this thread

A yellowed page from a 1980s-style Choose Your Own Adventure book, page 47, titled THE TIMEOUT, with a hand-drawn hourglass containing a loading spinner instead of sand, captioned 'still thinking...'. Body text: You sent the request fourteen minutes ago. The cursor blinks. Somewhere, a server is either thinking very hard, or already dead, and it will not tell you which. Three choices follow: retry the request (turn to page 12), tell the operator it's probably fine (turn to page 61), or open a fourteenth tab to check (turn to page 2), with a parenthetical note: You have already been to page 2. The page has a dog-eared corner fold.
