Story arc #9 A Haunted House Party
You Journey Onto The Forest Path
Moving beyond the dark wood
This is a collaborative ‘choose your own’ fiction story. You can also head back to the previous chapter, ‘A Haunted House Party’, or ‘You Search the Forest Grounds’, also by Novus Grey. Or find out how to contribute to the ongoing story here.
Making your way onto the forest path, you depart from shady beginnings and begin a fresh journey.
As you walk, you can hear a chorus of sounds emanating between the trees representing the culmination of nature’s bounty.
Given how sudden your existence is your innate reaction to such sensations is one of fear and caution urging you to listen intently.
Your pace is steady even as you climb up hills overlooking dozens of tree sections.
After walking for quite a while a pair of trees arch in a more man-made fashion.
The overall image of the pathway is too blurry to make out so you move closer to truly take it in.
Looming tall above you is a sign perched on top of an iron gate that reads:
Gloom Hall Estate
From a distance past the gate is a massive structure that remains too shrouded and distant to comprehend.
The gate is locked shut with a padlock and chains forbidding your entry any further.
There is an opening just big enough for you to fit through but it goes off in another direction parallel to the presumed estate.
You can try to look for a key to unlock it or you can venture into the gap and risk possible peril.
If you already found the key you can use it now here!
Assuming you don’t have the key, do you…

- Venture off the path through the gap. (click here).
You may contribute to this story with your own paths as you would like.
