Calm is better and less of a strain on the heart.

But what a mess you're in. Alone in a spooky old house with unknown critters scurrying at your feet and flapping over your head.

The wind (you hope) has slammed the door behind you and you can't open it. The house is pitch black except for occasional flashes of lightning through the windows.

What you see in the flashes confirms your original belief that the house has been deserted for years. Yet you had seen that strange glow when you were at the pier earlier.

At least if you smoked you would have a lighter in your pocket. In this darkness you could step or trip on anything. And they say cigarettes are dangerous to your health. You decide to explore anyway.....

"I sure wish I had a flashlight or a candle." You mutter to yourself.

.....
Suddenly a small glow appears before you. It is a candle that has ignited itself as if by some unseen hand.

"Must be friendly ghosts." You chuckle nervously to yourself as you pick up the candle.

In the light from the candle you see before you a large hallway. To the right of it is a door and to the left, two more doors. You seem to have five choices. Stay where you are, enter the hallway, or choose one of the doors.
