Bedroom Passed the Hall
You make your decision to go this way after all. The other way was a bit too dark.
You pass through the doorway and come to find that you've entered a small room. Glancing around, you find an end table crammed against the wall ahead of you, a decrepit flower vase sits with dried pieces of stems and long dead petals dangling over the side.
You take your attention from the vase and it soon shifts to a door on the left side of the wall. Not really wanting to turn back, you conclude that you'll go that way.
You walk up to the door and push it open lightly. After a brief glance around, you decide to venture in to see what lies ahead.
As you enter the dark room, you take notice of a few large book shelves that occupy the left corner. Some old dilapidated books slink on the shelves, seemingly forgotten for years.
After a heavy sigh, you take a seat in a chair that rests behind you. But as soon as you do, a long creak is heard. Glancing down to the ground, you notice it was not the chair that creaked, but the floor beneath it. As you gaze to the spot intently, something catches your eye.
Reaching down, your fingers find a small locket. You furrow your brow in slight confusion as you bring the piece of jewelry up to your curious eyes. It's shiny surface reflects what little light does happen to enter through the curtain covered window.
You turn it about in your fingers for a moment, you find yourself opening the locket. On doing so, you find that there is only a single picture remaining inside.. a man.. wearing what looks to be a blue suit.
As to where the other picture is, you have no clue. You pocket the locket, deciding it just may come in handy later and stand. As you look up, your sight rests on the wall in the right corner ahead of you. Its stone appearance looking out of place.
Walking over, you touch the surface slightly with your fingertips and push against it. It moves.
You lean closer, looking at the pattern of twisting cracks and push the wall once more.
This time, the wall gives way and reveals a downward spiraling wooden ramp. A freezing breeze rushes up from the depths of the cavern and causes you to back up slightly.
You chance a glance down, it's seemingly a long way down and you figure it must be the basement.
