Tea at Sunny Acre

premise: An elderly retired assassin lives in an assisted living facility. One day, a guy he knows moves in. The second guy is a rival assassin who killed many of the first guy's friends. Does the first guy take revenge? Or does he connect with the one person he knows who still remembers that life, who understands what it all means?

featuring possible endings like - No one is actually an assassin, the first guy is just delusional in his old age.

  • The two guys drink tea together, and the first guy gives decides to give up on revenge; then he falls over dead. He's gone soft in his old age.

  • They drink tea together and have a nice conversation. Then the second guy dies. Something about perseverance, undying vengeance, and no such thing as a former assassin.

  • The good ending where they make peace and no one dies.

Keyboard navigation

  • W / ↑ — go to parent (up the spine)
  • S / ↓ — go to child (down the spine)
  • A / ← — previous sibling
  • D / → — next sibling
  • r / Enter — riff on the active card
  • c — comment on the active card
  • ⌘/Ctrl + Enter — submit the open composer
  • ? — show this help
  • Esc — close the composer, or this help

Down goes to the child, not the next sibling — the card spine reads top-to-bottom as post → riff → deeper riff. Use A / D to move between siblings at the current level.
