An Unexplored Mansion

The day arrives when you finally have enough courage to leave the small town where you grew up. This dreary midwest town simply does not provide the career opportunities that a larger city has. It just seems that nothing is the same after college - your friends are all gone, your neighbors are nasty, and even your pet dog died.

So, you pack your belongings and drive out of town, not really knowing exactly where you are going. Many hours pass and you realize that you have been in such deep thought, you have not paid any attention to the direction in which you are driving. Your map is useless because you have no point of reference since you have been driving down desolate, country roads. You cannot even remember the last time a car passed, and there has not been a gas station or house for many miles.

Suddenly, a deer runs in front of your car and you swerve into a ditch. After making several attempts to drive out of the muddy trench, you climb out of the car and start walking down the narrow, country road. What a way to start off a new

and exciting life, you think.

After walking nearly five miles you see a beautiful, old mansion and briskly walk toward it. As you approach it, you begin to wonder if anyone lives there because it looks so empty, lonely and isolated. Still, you know this mansion may be your only chance of getting help because you are tired and soon it will be dark.

When you knock on the door, no one answers, but you notice the door is unlocked. That's funny, you could swear you saw something pass in front of the living room window. Do you dare enter the Unexplored Mansion and see what ...or who awaits you?
