The SETTING:

You are alone in a dim quiet room. Night is falling. You are a stranger here, and no one is about. You hear little scutterings in the walls. You are standing by a window. You part the drapes and peek out into the surrounding darkness.  The moon is just beginning to rise behind outline of an ancient tree, casting a long and eirie shadow across the expanse of the yard. There is a chill to the air. You shiver slightly crossing your arms hugging them to you for warmth. Across the room behind you the door creaks. You hear a scraping sound and turn to see... 

Who What Where When Why and How - the rest is up to you
