The bedroom is a mess.

washbasin, a chair with a tatty dressing gown slung over it, and a window
with the curtains drawn. Near the exit leading south is a phone.

flathead screwdriver: You're certainly picking the tough tasks. The floor
acts like a trampoline on an ice rink, or like something they've been
working on for years at Disneyland.
toothbrush: You lunge for it, but the room spins nauseatingly away. The
floor gives you a light tap on the forehead.
your gown: Luckily, this is large enough for you to get hold of. You notice
something in the pocket.
telephone: It dances by you like a thing possessed.> >

suddenly cut off. Glancing through the window you can't help but notice the
large old oak tree of which you are particularly fond crashing down through

Front of House
You can enter your home to the north. A path leads around it to the
northeast and northwest, and a country lane is visible to the south. All
that lies between your home and the huge yellow bulldozer bearing down on
it is a few yards of mud.
Mr. Prosser, from the local council, is standing on the other side of the
bulldozer. He seems to be wearing a digital watch. He looks startled to see
you emerge, and yells at you to get out of the way.The bulldozer rumbles slowly toward your home.

There are many pieces of mail. Most are from some computer company called

official letter from the local council, dated some two years ago and
inexplicably not delivered till now, explaining that a demolition order has
been served on your home. The date of demolition is today's date.> >
