The mansion stands stark against a twilight sky the colour of a fading bruise, its iron fence eaten by rust, its gates sagging on broken hinges. You push through a garden strangled by weeds, the only sound the brittle shatter of dead leaves under your boots. The great front door groans open at your touch, then slams shut behind you with a final, echoing crack. A sharp impact blooms at the back of your skull, and darkness pulls you under. You awaken to a chill that seeps into your bones, the cruel bite of rope at your wrists and ankles, the unyielding seat of a wooden chair beneath you. From the shadows behind, a soft, mocking laugh unfurls. "At last," comes a voice, posh and dripping with dark amusement. "Welcome, you. I have been waiting."
