hammer and cup of water

I went to sleep perfectly fine but when I woke up, I was in a completely different place. It was a white room with only a table. I got up and walked towards the table to see a folded paper. When I unfolded it, it was a map! I followed the twelve steps listed and without knowing it, the journey took almost a week! By the time I finished, I was dehydrated and I need to find shelter because I could feel a bad storm coming. I was hoping that when I went to sleep tonight, I would wake up in the same white room but instead, I woke up in the same place I went to sleep at but a little to the left. I could barely get up to walk outside of my sheltered area let alone hunt for some food. I figured I was stuck here, in this unknown land so I grabbed a few things and started traveling so I could at least find some fresh water. Unfortunately I didn't find any water but I did find a glowing rock sitting outside of a cave in the middle of the Forrest. I walked into the cave holding the glowing rock. I saw beautiful drawings on the wall, and nasty looking bugs crawling around, i just wanted to get out of there but I knew i had to see what was at the end. I finally reached the end of the cave and there was nothing. I lost all hope in this cave so I dropped the rock in front of the rock wall. As I began walking away, the ground started shaking and the back wall started turning. I got sucked into the opening wall then blacked out, I don’t know what happened or what’s going on.
I finally woke up two hours later, I was in the same white room but something was different. I walked to the white table to see two objects sitting there, a golden hammer, and a cup of water.  I looked up at a white sign on the wall, ‘go ahead, make your choice. the outcome will decide whether you’re ready or not.’ I stood there for a few minutes, thinking, ready for what? I looked down at the two objects again. If I choose the water, I would no longer be dehydrated and would some what be healthy again. But if i choose the golden hammer, I could see it for a fortune and buy everything I need. But the mature thing would be to take the water so that I can show that I’m not selfish. But if I take the hammer, I would have riches and I most likely wouldn't have to worry about money, debts, or ever being dehydrated again. I picked up the object of my choice and the table disappeared. I took a few steps back and sipped the water. I started feeling dizzy so I drank some more of the refreshing water but what I didn't know was that it was slowly killing me. The liquid that was supposed to be water and keep me alive was actually water flavored poison, a whole cup of poison, now in my body. I dropped to the ground, the last drop of poison spilling out of the cup. Before my eyes shut completely, I saw three people in plain white suits and gloves on come running into the room, immediately halting beside me. They tightened their gloves, a guy picked up the cup with a towel carrying it out. Then I was next. I was on a stretcher type thing then my eyes closed and everything was gone.

I woke up, sweating.
