249. The Grand Hallway

Amy makes her way carefully back up the stairs from the lab to the Grand Hallway. As she climbs the steps she thinks back on her adventure in the lab. “This house is only getting deadlier!” she thinks to herself, “I’ve got to get Shannon and get out of here!” But, she realizes, the only way she’ll find Shannon is to find this Geoffrey Stephenson, and the only way to find Geoffrey Stephenson is to get past that butler upstairs.

Amy reaches the Grand Hallway and looks around. This time, she’s sure the place is brighter. And, somehow… less dirty? The walls are still scuffed, but somehow less scuffed than before. There seem to be fewer cobwebs. “Probably a trick of the mind,” Amy thinks to herself, “or my eyes are just used to the darkness from that staircase. Now, where to next?”
