Temptation


I was almost tempted to explore the New part of the Mansion tonight. Almost.

The rooftop window seemed to be illuminated by the Moon, which, I must add, is a spectacular crescent this evening. An owl hooted as I glanced from the Moon to the window.

My eyes or my mind may have been playing tricks on me, but I was sure I saw a light from inside there. But that can’t be possible. The window’s locked, and the Room has been underground for goodness knows how long. Nobody could possibly be in there.

There must be another way into the Room, though, possibly through the Cellar – there are parts down there that I haven’t explored yet – and I can’t really see folk getting into the room through the window on the roof when the Room was above ground. I’ll leave exploring the Cellar for another time though.

No. I was almost tempted to explore the Room tonight, but I shall wait.

I’m going in on Halloween.

And why not?!

My Inner Zombie knows this is a good idea!

      Almost a half of me is asking the same question, Eric… but Halloween seems the right time (the other half and a bit of me is quite definite about this!)

      Thanks for the link, Nancy. I’ve had a look and it seems strange that no-one spotted that door to start off with. Still, imagine finding something like that beneath the house!!!

    Patience is a virtue my friend! 🙂

    Finish exploring the cellar and hopefully you’ll find a door.

    If not, then be careful to make sure you have a good exit route planned – getting lost is NOT an option!!! 😉

    God Bless!

      My Inner Zombie never had it to start off with, Icewolf… but yes, I agree. You are all welcome to join me on the exploration. I’ll post more details about it nearer the time in a special post!

      I may even take both of my mobile phones, VK. Just in case!
      There’s always a hidden staircase somewhere around here… I’m sure this Mansion likes playing tricks on me! 😉

      The light from my mobile phone’s quite bright, Shree, so I think that’ll be OK. I have to go in at night though… I’ve a lot to do during the day and Halloween night is the best time!
