DON'T open the box! Take the money!

Great adventure story Muninn and an amazing dress!
Personally I'm hoping for a happy ending, though I'm a bit worried about the mysterious groundskeeper and whatever 'keeping an eye' on the dungeons entails.

very interesting wonder if this is the right box she should bring it to the doctor and ask before opening it.

Great feature but will the box be opened?

Excellent story and the pictures are very well presented.

I'm looking forwards to part 3.

I'm screaming at my phone - dont open the box. But I also really want to know what's in there. Looking forward to part 3

I'm thinking there could be a loose end in the story there, and a new adventure for Alice, maybe...

Act III coming up shortly, just had some technical issues. It'll keep the suspense going a bit longer

[PDutus]

End it on a cliffhanger, leaving the possibility for a sequel...

[carlys_guy]

maybe she will ask the doctor about the grounds keeper and he willsay we don't have one.

Here comes Act III! (in two posts again)

~~~~



Eventually, Alice makes her way out of the abandoned part of the house, and back to the warmth and safety of the drawing room.

"Well I'm finally back somewhere less creepy and cobwebby. Now, to get the box unlocked. Good thing I knew where all the random old keys are kept."



"This one should do it..." The lock clicks open. "Better go and grab a chair, it's probably safer if there's any surprises!"



"Right, here goes..." The hinges on the box creak as Alice opens it:



"It looks like an old writing box, very nice. Smells a bit strange. Hmmm... there's a compartment here where all the writing equipment goes - let's have a look..."



"A hand! What the...!"



"Eek! I'm sure it just moved!"



The hand stretches, letting out a yawn, and a sign. Alice screams, then passes out for a moment!



(continued in next post... what a good place for a mid-act cliffhanger! )
