(from Choose Your Own Adventure #22: Space Patrol, 1983) Another contribution from my Lil’ Bro, who added “Sorry, I can’t top the dead unicorn.” I do find it interesting that this particular ending merited a “do-over” option. “Listen up, people.  The kids will put up with being eaten by bears, tossed into chasms, cast adrift in the void, but a life as an amnesiac lunar bean farmer?  That’s taking things way too far!” That’s actually a pretty spot-on assessment of how the kid-brain works, now that I think of it.
