Inside the cottage

No two ways about it - the house is cramped. Books piled on a shelf take up most of the north wall, while a heap of computer parts covers the only table in the room.

What looks like a plain journal has been discarded on the couch near the fireplace, where a fire is burning happily.

Near the door, a pair of boots and a thick leather jacket are conspicuous by their absence.

The smell of wood smoke suffuses the air.

• Look at the books
• Look at the boots

  There are no boots here. There is a pair of footprints in the mud near the door, though, just to the side of an empty coat hanger.
• Look at the table
• Peek at the journal
• Stop and smell the flowers

  You inhale deeply, but there are no flowers nearby. The smoke irritates your lungs, and you start coughing. A spider looks at you in what you feel is a very judgmental manner.
