(align:"=><=")+(box:"X=")[[[Start game|page1]]]The night was cold. The moon was fully out in the sky where the couds seemed to have scurried away. Isn't it funny? Just a few hours or minutes ago, the clouds loomed in the sky, appearing to be some sort of mask for the moon- goes to show how rotten our world is that even the moon feels the need to cover its face.
You walk down the lonely alleyway, thining to yourself, "How odd. It's not an hour where all the people would seek the protections of their house"; why it was just past 8 o'clock!"
In the distance, suddenly, you hear a sound- a sort of howl.
*AWOOOOOOOOO*
"Strange...", you think to yourself. You start feeling a bit queasy- uneasy- not a soul is around it seems. You find yourself at the bottom of the alleyway in a peuliar scenario- where the alleyway usually meets the main street, where people are always bustling around, you see the same old bricks and stone wall- covered with moss in between its cracks, grey as ever, and pale and cold as the night- and the path in front diverges into two.
You hear the howl again:
*AWOOOOOOOOOO*
It seemed to be getting.. closer?
You feel a sudden panic rise in you. A strange sense of fear. Why were you feeling this? You instinctively felt that if you take one option, there was no return.
To the left, you see the alleyway go in further, into more darkness.
To the right, you see a little streetlamp in the distance, below which there seems to be a bench with- ah!- Finally! A human!- It seems an old lady is seated on the bench with a cane resting on her laps, but, something about her just isn't right. You cant really put a finger on it.
What path do you take?
[[Go into the dark pathway|page2]]
[[Go towards the old lady sitting on the bench|page3]]
_____________________________________________________________________________________________You wald towards the darkness in total silence. All that you can hear is your breath and your footsteps. In the distance, you see a small light- a lantern outside a house- the sign of life!
You run towards the light, but it seems fate has tangled you in its yarn- you trip and fall facefirst on the ground. You find your way back on your feet; staggering, you make your way towards the light once more.
Slowly, you move forward, but the light seemed to be going farther with each step you take. You stop and feel somethig warm run down your nostril- blood- your nose got hurt on the fall. As soon as you notice the blood, you hear it again:
*AWOOOOOOOOOO*
This time however, it is closer than ever and seemed to be getting closer- running footsteps echoed in the alleyway and you make a run for it- finally reaching the small shack with the light.
What do you do?
[[Continue running down the dark alleyway|page6]]
[[Get into the house- it seems to be unlocked|page7]]
_______________________________________________________________________________________________You walk towards the old lady, but something's off- she isn't moving. You rush to her, but see something horrifying- it's a rotting body!
You feel nauseus, but hold your dinner from meeting the night air.
You look at the body once more, "What is this even doing here? Don't the people here mind it-?"
Ah! There **are** no people there in the first case.
You see a note clinging to the corpse's coat. It seems to have blood on it- fresh blood.
What do you do?
[[Back off and investigate the surroundings|page4]]
