//Forgotten Dinner// is an interactive fiction short story. You will be presented with portions of a story and will be given decisions to make in the form of (link:"links")[(bg:#FFD700)[Good Job!]]. The links will appear with a light blue square around them. When you hover your mouse over the links they will turn yellow. When you click on a link with your left mouse button your will select that choice. Making choices will advance the story.
You will be presented with a list of tasks. Theses tasks can be completed in different ways. Some methods will have negative results. Some tasks need to be completed at certain times to get a positive result. Other tasks take a longer time to complete one way versus another.]
