You follow the woman back to her place and upon entering her hut, she transforms into a human eating alien and lunges at you without warning. Fortunately...

A group of unruly humankids on familiar contraptions known as bicycles come walloping down the ceaselessly writhing pink sponge that seems to represent a 'road' around these distant and dubious parts. They might be late for a picnic since one has a curious basket bouncing around but you have to take evasive action and lose sight of it. They fail to notice you or the advancing alien we'll call 'Instant Karma' and merely reshape his admirable limbs into a less flexible form of life and peddle onwards to horizons unknown, you feel the distinct urge to plop your newly acquired coins into the nearest phonebox... Unfortunately

...You can still figure out some basic directions from the arrows on the signs, and start heading to what you think is the closest town.

Unfortunately...You realize that you are standing in front of an intercontinental missile that Kim Jong Un is about to launch toward the western US. Fortunately...

as Kim's men surround you you have the presence of mind to yell, "BOMB!" The solders all throw themselves on their "Supreme Leader," and you escape through a, yet another, side door. Unfortunately...

...the side door leads directly to a prison cell, where a dozen of Kim's other "traitors" await execution. Fortunately...

they have been digging an escape tunnel which is now complete. You and your cellmates climb down and crawl your way to the relative safety of South Korea. Unfortunately...

...You are stopped and detained by the South Korean Army, and held until you can prove you aren't a spy. Fortunately...
