42. The Grand Hallway

Amy returns to the Grand Hallway, boots in hand. She feels surprisingly good now, despite what she’s been through. Perhaps it’s the surge of adrenaline from her recent sojourn to the greenhouse. Perhaps it’s the ego boost from defeating a monstrosity so many times larger than herself. Whatever it is, she feels the hallway now positively glows. Maybe this mansion isn’t so bad, after all. If she can kill a gigantic Venus Flytrap, she can handle anything!

Taking stock of all the things she’s acquired, Amy decides its time to lighten her load a bit. She sets the boots she’s just acquired neatly by the front doorway and carefully arranges the panties, garter belt, and stockings next to them. She feels much more maneuverable now that her backpack isn’t stuffed with underwear.

“Now,” she thinks, “where to next?
