Good start to the day.
Pity it's going to be the worst one of your life. The light is now on.

Bedroom, in the bed

The bedroom is a mess. It is a small bedroom with a faded carpet and old wallpaper. There is a washbasin, a chair with a tatty dressing gown slung over it, and a window with the curtains drawn. Near the exit leading south is a phone. There is a flathead screwdriver here. (outside the bed) There is a toothbrush here. (outside the bed)

Pick up screwdriver

Edit: I'm so glad this is playable on my phone, I've got fuck all on the books for work today, so I know what I'm doing!

You lunge for it, but the room spins nauseatingly away. The floor gives you a light tap on the forehead.
