It's currently 12 a.m. the day before your last cegep exam. You are nearly finished with the cegep and summer has never felt this close. The sky is dark blue and you wonder if studying for your last exam is really worth it. '' What could really happen'' you wondered. In fact, you only need a 30% on that exam to pass the class. You won't fail that hard wont you? What should you do?
Choice 1 : You study and go to sleep.
Choice 2 : You stay up all night anticipating the summer.
Studying was indeed a wise choice. The exam was, in fact, really tough. Your time management pulled off and you managed to get a 63%. Your cegep is now officially over. You are now free to prepare your summer and your next semester in visual art at UQAM. You wonder if you need a summer job or you just want to focus on mastering some new techniques for your new program. What should you do?
Choice 1 : You do not take a summer job.
Choice 2 : you take a summer job.
The exam was hell! You didn't even manage to finish it because you overslept. You now have failed your class and can't go to university because this class is mandatory, and it isn't given in the summer semester. You are really pissed right now about the maddening situation that you put yourself into, yet you have to plan your summer. You don't feel like doing anything and the thought of working is making you sick right now. You still need money though. What will you choose?
Choice 1 : Still try to find a job.
Choice 2 : You are too depressed to try to find a job.
You sit down, looking at you wall, wondering where to start. Sculpture? Too messy. Photography? You know it's boring. Drawing? You are already good enough. Painting? That could work. You just need to buy some acrylic paint, but it should be fine. However, the questioning is not over yet. What type of painting should you master? Abstract or realism? Both sound tempting, but with only two months you can only master one, but which one?
Choice 1 : Realism
Choice 2 : Abstract.
You found a job at an art supplies store. It's a small business with a vast choice of art supplies and you are quite excited to work there since you benefit a 15% discount on all sketchbooks and gouache at the store. As the summer passed by, you get more and more familiar with your job. You often see one of your old teachers in your store, but he doesn't even recognize you. It's a good summer, but there not much happening.
Choice 1 : retry.
You know you are really bad at realism! Why did you choose to do painting AND realism? Pick your struggle... This painting is so ugly that are currently reconsidering all the decisions that you've taken. Maybe visual art isn't for you? What is this, really? I know art is subjective, but holly damn! Nothing is right! The shape, the colour, nothing. Maybe, it's time for retirement. Just saying.
Choice 1 : maybe abstract art isn't that bad after all
You are actually good at this. The brush feels smooth on the canvas and your movements are fluid, creating some beautiful paintings. You are feeling good about your aptitudes, but you are thinking about taking it to the next step. You want to explore news territories and expand your creativity. After a thoughtful conversation with your best friend, you figured two ways to achieve that. Take drugs or take a trip to another country.
Choice 1 : Take LSD
Choice 2 : Take a trip.
Since you've been doing LSD, your arts have been incredible. You've gained a lot off called from showroom owners and you can now live off your passion and can quit university anytime soon. However, the LSD came with a major disadvantage: you are now addicted and can't stop yourself from taking LSD. Your business is booming, but you can't stop vomiting, you have bad trips and have mood swings very often. Still, you are famous now, congrats!
Choice 1 : Retry to live you life without a drug addiction.
You finally decided to take a trip to Brasil. Everything was going so well, you were having the time of your life, until you volunteered to help a poor lady with their bags. She was, in fact, not a poor lady, but a pickpocket, and she stole all of your things. Your passport, your wallet, your phone and your money are now gone with this theft. You can't call anybody nor interact with anybody because you don't speak Portuguese and you are in a favela. Your life is doomed. You lay down and cry yourself to sleep, thinking about your final exam where you should have made a different choice.
Choice 1 : Sweet dream.
You did succeed to find a job for the summer, but it made you even more depress. The fact, that you've been hire at an art supplies store is like rubbing salt on a wound. Nevertheless, you need this salary and it was the only vacant position in the surrounding area. At your first day, you see the teacher of the class in which you failed the last exam. You are panicking as he walks in, ashamed and stressed at the same time. You have to do something, but what?
Choice 1 : You go talk to him.
Choice 2 : you hide from him.
Choice 3 : you act like he's not even there.
Doing nothing was good for your mental health for the first few days, but after that, you were just so bored. All of your friends have summer jobs except for you, so you just lay in the grass all day, wondering what to do with your life. Maybe, you should try a new hobby, or go on a vacation? You have to do something, you can't just do nothing all summer until fall when you are going to be able to retake the class that you failed.
Choice 1 : Take a trip.
Choice 2 : Learn a new skill.
After the little panic over, you summon up your courage and you go talk to him. He sees you and recognizes you as the student who badly fail the last exam. You tell him your story, and he understands you. He is clearly one off the good teachers and accept to modify your 59% into a 60%. You are so happy because that means that you will be able to go to your visual Art program in the fall. You are so happy that you quit your job on the stop, convincing yourself that you need to practice, now that you are going in university. You do not care about potential drawbacks, you are going to UQAM!
Choice 1 : Go practice NOW!
You quickly hide behind the counter. You stay still as you here him walking through the store. As you stay still, you notice a little trap under the counter. You are three people at the store right now, but your colleagues are both on a break. You wonder if you should open it. Right now is not the time, but maybe late. Who knows. It might be the only interesting thing in your whole summer.
Choice 1 : You wait until the night to open the trap.
Choice 2 : You don't open the trap, you don't have the time for that anyway.
You act like he's not there. You act like you don't care, but you are actually really scared that he may see you. Everything was going is planned until he comes to the counter to pay, and he sees you. You were livid. At the moment he recognizes you, he starts to lecture you about your grade and how close you were to pass. It is not the best 5 minutes of your life, but you survive. This little chat will be replaying in your head again and again as the summer passes by and you will question the decisions that you've made at this very moment.
Choice 1 : Relive your life.
After some time, you decided to learn to beat box. Surprisingly, you quickly became really good.

You wait until the closure to go to that trap and try to open it. You thought it would have been locked, but it wasn't. Has someone forgotten to lock it? Anyway, you open it and find stairs. You instantly hop in without questioning anything. As you walk downstairs, you notice a red light coming from the room. The room is dark aside from the little red light hanging from the ceiling. You find a switch and flick it. What a mistake. The open lights reveal a lot of maps, books and poster everywhere It's at this moment that you figured out that your store is only a front for a secret organization wanting to commit a terrorist act. You feinted on the sport. You will not wake up. Who knows who founded you...
Choice 1 : Start over.
You go on with your life, but you just can't stop thinking about that damn trap. It became an obsession for you and it's making you crazy. You work overtime just to stare a that trap, but you can't open it. You don't have the guts no more, so you just stare at it, all the time. You note in your notebook every little thing that are happening near that trap. You sketch everything too. Every customer, every employee, you just can't stop yourself. What is in there? I guess you'll never know...
Choice 1 : Start over.
