 On with the adventure!!!
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
 Along time ago, a young couple was picnicing near the woods
 on the outskirts of town.  They were celebrating the birth
 of their first child.  Unfortunately, a crazed moose inhabited that
 area and attacked them.   The child and husband were
 unharmed, but the wife was gored to death by the moose.
  
 After the funeral, the man bought the land where the incident occurred
 and constructed a large mansion: CHEZ MOOSE.  He filled it with
 the treasures of his family and claimed that his wife's
 soul was still in the area.  He vowed to remain in the
 mansion until he had returned her soul to human flesh.
 He tried to bridge the gap between life and death to reclaim her.
 Some say he was insane with grief, but others claimed that the madness was
 in his blood, and his wife's death brought it to the surface.
 After he entered the house, he never returned, and was declared dead 
 seven years later.  Several people have entered the mansion
 looking for him but none of them have ever returned.
 There were rumors that he and his wife now haunt the house.
  
 That would be the end of the story except that the house
 still stands and is filled with priceless treasures.
 The house and all its contents are willed to his only descendant.
 Oh yes, I forgot to tell you, the day the mother was killed,
 the child was stolen by Gypsies.
 The Will claims that only the descendant will know
 how to avoid going crazy and committing suicide
 while spending a night in the mansion.
 An obscure hereditary disease, Orkhisnoires sakioannes,
 is supposed to play some part in this.
  
 So if your heritage is in doubt, you may be the descendant that
 can claim the treasure in the mansion.
 Many people, claiming to be descendants have died trying...
  or at least never returned.
  
 The terms of the Will say you get to keep any treasure
 you get to the lawn, but of course you must also get off the premises alive.
 Because the house is haunted it must be destroyed, and nobody
 would be crazy enough to try and recover the rest of the treasure.
 If you do get out, the government has agreed to
 buy the land and destroy the house.
  
 If you are insane enough to try, your adventure starts at a bus stop.
 Remember, type STOP to end the adventure.
  
 We are at an intersection of two streets going n-s and e-w.
 There is a bus stop here.
 To the west a bus is pulling away from the next bus stop.
  
*stop

 The party's over.
 Your final score is 0
 The total possible is 440
 Hmm... I don't think you tried very hard.
