You slowly, painfully make your way to the mouth of the alleyway and
gaze out beyond. You see a great city square...but, not a soul
wanders about the street. You hear no people chatting or children
laughing, nothing but a cold, dismal silence. A sharp chill runs down
your spine. This complete desolation is beggining to have a strong
effect on you. The sun falls behind the tall buildings ahead of you,
casting a dark shadow over the square. You decide to find some
shelter before the cold night sets in. The sturdy stone building on
the left looks quite inviting.
