Stairs

A sudden feeling of atavistic terror fills you, a sense of being trapped underground, and you turn away from the trapdoor and feel your way up the stairs. At the top you encounter a wooden door, and after a moment's fumbling you find the handle and open it. You step forward into a room dimly lit by light seeping through boarded up windows.

You appear to be in a kitchen. Cupboards stand open and some dishes are stacked on a table in the middle of the room. Thinking you might find a knife or other weapon, you open the drawers under the counters but find nothing but dust. Giving a little curse of anxious disappointment you step through an open doorway into another room.

This one is even dimmer, the windows here more carefully boarded up and letting less light in. The room appear to be a living room, the shapes of a chair and a sofa making themselves evident in the dim light. Strange shapes on the walls draw your attention, and you realize that there are several stuffed animal heads on the walls. You give a moment's thought to the oddity that they weren't removed by whoever boarded up the house, and step through the room, your **** eyes seeking a weapon or a place to hide.

Finding none, you step into a hallway and find yourself at the foot of a set of stairs leading up into darkness. A hallway to your left leads further into the house. You stand anxiously, trying to decide what to do, and as you decide you here Jack's voice again. Still outside the house you think, but closer than he was.

"Lisa! You can't hide forever! Come out and play!"
