MARVIN'S

TRASH NIGHT

Marvin is a raccoon with a job to do. Carry what you can to the storm drain before the whole block is awake.

1. Drag anywhere to move. A short drag creeps. A long drag runs, and the white rings show how far that noise carried.
2. Stay out of the orange. Step into a cone and the light snaps on. Standing in it fills EXPOSURE at the top.
3. Carry things to the drain at the top of the street. That is the whole job.

EVERYTHING ELSE

• Let go to stop dead. A still raccoon makes no sound at all.
• The dog sleeps until a sound ring touches it, then runs to where the noise was, not to Marvin.
• The neighbors hear you too. A filling ring around a porch means somebody inside is working out that you are there.
• The car comes down the street on a timer. Its headlights read you like a porch light, and standing in the road when it arrives ends the night.
• Every mistake wakes a porch for good, and a woken porch is brighter and reaches further than a motion light. Wake three and a door opens.
• There is no clock, but the block wakes on its own, so the dark only ever shrinks.
• Marvin learns from what he steals. Enough of one kind of junk and he works out a use for it.
• The stash carries over, even after a bad night.

The night ends when the last thing goes down the drain.
