Synopsis

Plot

You have quietly dragged the dead body from the living room, after maneuvering it past your napping father. Now all you have to do is get it through the basement door, but Fido is standing guard. If the little mutt poodle barks, he'll wake your father and attract attention from the rest of the household.

Notes

This was an entry in Speed-IF 11. It is an example of a 'segmented game', whereby a number of different authors were each given a separate task. In this case, the overall theme was to move a dead body from one place to another. The first game started in the attic and the last game ended in the basement. This game is the 5th of 6 segments.
