Please, Help Me Write My Next Story!

I have the blues. Well, a short story about the Blues, anyway. I thought it would be fun to write it as a "Choose Your Own Adventure" style story. After each part, the reader is presented with choices about what should happen next. Post your vote in the comment sections. I will count each vote until Friday when I will begin writing the next part. Each new part will post on Sunday, with voting closing on Fridays.

For each vote (win or lose) made before the deadline (Thurday 11:59 pm), I will donate $1 to ABCtales as a gesture of thanks.

Sound fun?
