You are standing in front of an iron gate in the street.
Enter move:
EXAMINE GATE
You see a sign. It is mounted at a height that would make it convenient for rabbits to read it.
The sign reads “Armed Response”.
PICK UP SIGN
I’m afraid you don’t know how to do that.
The sign is bolted to the gate, but as you try to pick it up, the gate swings open.
SAVE GAME
I love where this is going…

LOOK THROUGH GATE
You see a short street that leads to a T-crossing where the street forks left and right.
ENTER GATE
You are standing in a short street that leads to a T-crossing where the street forks left and right.
GO TO THE RIGHT
You are standing in a quiet street that is lined on both sides with handsome big houses and curves gently to the left.
The nearest house to the left is a squarish, white, two-storey building.
The nearest house to the right is painted light grey, with two storeys and a portico.
EXAMINE GREY HOUSE
There is a white door, slightly ajar.
A hollow voice says “Plugh.”
You walk up to the portico. The house looks like the residents are not at home at the moment. As you get closer, you see a flyer from a multi ethnic take-away restaurant and a notification slip from a parcel service on the doormat. As you rise your arm to knock on the door, you hear a faint sort of humming noise that sounds like it’s drifting in from the back yard.
