Floyd | CHAPTER ONE: HAPPY FAMILY
Floyd |
Floyd | Wet, tired and incredibly bored.
Floyd |
Floyd | That just about sums up your present frame of mind. Standing in an
Floyd | almost empty churchyard in a ghostly nondescript town, all the while
Floyd | being soaked by constant rainfall, would be bad enough at the best of
Floyd | times.
Floyd |
Floyd | What makes it even worse is the very fact you're here. An all too often
Floyd | forgotten niece at her uncle's funeral. You're starting to wish you
Floyd | hadn't made the long journey up north after all. It's not like Uncle
Floyd | Henry actually cared about anything except his money and his ego, and
Floyd | you just wish the priest would get on with this tiresome ceremony.
Floyd |
Floyd | After it's finished you could go home, emptying any lingering thoughts
Floyd | of the selfish, arrogant man from your mind.

Floyd | Graveyard
Floyd | Just standing here is enough to give you a shudder. The many
Floyd | gravestones and the ivy covered spire of the church to the north blend
Floyd | in perfectly with the sinister atmosphere. Even the gates to the south,
Floyd | with the promise of relatively safe territory beyond, can't begin to
Floyd | neutralise their gloomy surroundings.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your uncle's final resting place is marked by a hole in the ground.
Floyd |
Floyd | A group of mourners are gathered around the latest addition to the
Floyd | cemetery. The parish priest stands nearby, reading the last rites at a
Floyd | painfully slow pace.

Floyd | As good-looking as ever.
Floyd |
Floyd | The priest pauses for a moment before continuing with his speech.
Floyd |
Floyd | "There are those of us who are misguided in life, those who seek to
Floyd | inflict pain on others in order to further their own desires. Henry
Floyd | Lambert was one such person."

Floyd | a silver picture frame
Floyd | a student's photo
Floyd |
Floyd | Almost as if in reaction to the priest's condemnation it starts to rain
Floyd | slightly heavier. The crowd of people seems to be growing tired of the
Floyd | sermon and seeing the rapidly declining interest of those present, the
Floyd | priest seeks to bring the proceedings to a swift conclusion.
Floyd |
Floyd | "May he be forgiven for his sins, and may he find peace and solitude in
Floyd | a better world."

| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x frame"
| | |
Floyd ] Graveyard 0/2
Floyd |
Floyd | > X FRAME
Floyd |
Floyd | A picture frame made out of silver. There seems to be some weird
Floyd | ancient script written on the border, but you have no idea what it
Floyd | means. The frame is currently occupied by a student's photo.
Floyd |
Floyd | The priest pauses for a moment before continuing with his speech.
Floyd |
Floyd | "There are those of us who are misguided in life, those who seek to
Floyd | inflict pain on others in order to further their own desires. Henry

| |
|

| | |
Floyd ] Graveyard 0/3
Floyd |
Floyd | > X PHOTO
Floyd |
Floyd | A colour photograph, quite small. It seems to be of a student
Floyd | receiving a degree from a professor. You can hardly recognise yourself
Floyd | in that silly looking gown.
Floyd |
Floyd | Almost as if in reaction to the priest's condemnation it starts to
Floyd | rain slightly heavier. The crowd of people seems to be growing tired

| | |
Floyd ] Graveyard 0/4
Floyd |
Floyd | > X HOLE
Floyd |
Floyd | Your uncle's final resting place is a simple hole in the ground. No
Floyd | decorations, no glossing over. Just a sloppily dug pit. You doubt he
Floyd | would have appreciated the ordinariness of it all. Uncle Henry was
Floyd | definitely a man in favour of the grand occasion.
Floyd |
Floyd | You can sense a feeling of pity in the priest's eyes as he looks
Floyd | straight at you, as if he is fully aware of the pain you have suffered
Floyd | over the past few years.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Earth to earth."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| |
|
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "enter hole"
| | |
Floyd ] Graveyard 0/5
Floyd |
Floyd | > ENTER HOLE
Floyd |
Floyd | Entering the grave at this moment in time could hardly be recommended
Floyd | as a wise course of action.
Floyd |
Floyd | The priest takes one last look at the grave, making the sign of the
Floyd | cross on his chest.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Amen."
Floyd |
Floyd | The crowd of mourners begin to leave the graveyard one by one. It is
Floyd | only after they have all left that you become aware of a man loitering
Floyd | behind you. As the priest follows the crowd through the gates the man
Floyd | moves over to you, thrusting a curious envelope into your hands. In
Floyd | response to your bewilderment he can offer only a cryptic explanation.
Floyd |
Floyd | "It is only after their deaths that we can truly begin to appreciate
Floyd | their achievements."
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| |
genericgeekgirl says, "Deep."
|
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x man"
| | |
Floyd ] Graveyard 0/6
Floyd |
Floyd | > X MAN
Floyd |
Floyd | The man returns your gaze with penetrating green eyes.
Floyd |
Floyd | The man paces about slowly, but shows no other signs of impatience.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| |
|
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "x envelope"
| | |
Floyd ] Graveyard 0/7
Floyd |
Floyd | > X ENVELOPE
Floyd |
Floyd | A plain white envelope which to anyone else would seem so ordinary.
Floyd | But there is something about the way your name has been perfectly
Floyd | written on the front that manages to make you both fearful and curious
Floyd | about the contents.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| |
|
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "open envelope"
| | |
Floyd ] Graveyard 0/8
Floyd |
Floyd | > OPEN ENVELOPE
Floyd |
Floyd | You carefully open the envelope, and with equal caution remove the
Floyd | folded letter from inside. The envelope blows away in a sudden gust of
Floyd | wind. Your hands tremble slightly as you unfold the letter. The
Floyd | signature at the bottom almost makes you tear up the letter in an
Floyd | outburst of rage, but your curiosity gets the better of you.
Floyd |
Floyd | The words are almost perfectly written and the flowing blue ink
Floyd | contrasts brilliantly with the bright yellow background. You begin to
Floyd | read,
Floyd |
Floyd | "My dear Elaine,
Floyd |
Floyd | It is with some regret that I look out of the back window of my flat
Floyd | across the street. The dirty run-down buildings beyond the pavement
Floyd | opposite seem almost fitting. I have become lost in the labyrinth, too
Floyd | late I have realised I had a family out there which needed more from
Floyd | me than what I gave them.
Floyd |
Floyd | You were always the brightest my dear. If anyone deserves my
Floyd | inheritance it is you. You have what it takes: the determination, the
Floyd | intelligence, and most importantly the finesse. But time grows short.
Floyd | I am unable to explain in detail what would undoubtedly be the coup of
Floyd | the century.
Floyd |
Floyd | I beg you Elaine: take up the challenge and finish my dream for me.
Floyd | You will surely appreciate the danger, the sense of adventure. Maybe
Floyd | you will even find the final secret. If you decide to follow the same
Floyd | path as me, I wish you good luck. But I must warn you, it will not be
Floyd | easy. Even the first steps will require a certain degree of
Floyd | intelligence to overcome. I know in my heart that you will succeed.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your dear Uncle,
Floyd |
Floyd | (Signed) Henry Lambert.
Floyd |
Floyd | PS: Remember the rhyme: One, Two,......"
Floyd |
Floyd | It takes a few moments to sink in. Defiance grips you, there is no way
Floyd | whatsoever you will become like him. The very idea of it is laughable.
Floyd | You, a thief? You wouldn't even know where to start. Then something
Floyd | happens. Perhaps in ten years time you will look back on this as the
Floyd | moment it all changed. Something within you makes you want to accept
Floyd | this challenge, to prove yourself. The raining seems to subside
Floyd | slightly. It looks as if the sun is about to come out from behind the
Floyd | clouds. Everything seems to be happening more slowly. The calmly
Floyd | delivered statement from the man disturbs your train of thought.
Floyd |
Floyd | "It's time to make the choice."
Floyd |
Floyd | The man tightens his long grey coat.

Floyd | in perfectly with the sinister atmosphere. Even the gates to the
Floyd | south, with the promise of relatively safe territory beyond, can't
Floyd | begin to neutralise their gloomy surroundings.
Floyd |
Floyd | A strange man stands casually nearby, carefully watching every move
Floyd | you make.
Floyd |
Floyd | Your uncle's final resting place is marked by a hole in the ground.
Floyd |
Floyd | The man paces about slowly, but shows no other signs of impatience.
Floyd |
Floyd | >
| |
borowski asks, "The man said to make a choice. Maybe it's a yes/no thing?"
|
| | genericgeekgirl says, "I presume the choice is to do what our uncle wants or.. go home and be boring."
|
| genericgeekgirl says (to Floyd), "say yes"
| | |
Floyd ] Graveyard 1/13
Floyd |
Floyd | > SAY YES
Floyd |
Floyd | (to the strange man)
Floyd | The man's smile gives away his reaction to your reply. He removes a
Floyd | plain wooden box from inside his coat and hands it to you.
Floyd |
Floyd | "Your uncle said you would accept the challenge. He was a very
Floyd | intelligent man, you will need his brains if you are to follow in his
Floyd | footsteps. The box you hold contains his legacy. It will open only
Floyd | when surrounded by the essence of life."
Floyd |
Floyd | The man casually walks away from the meeting as if it were
Floyd | commonplace. The sun comes out from behind the clouds and the last of
Floyd | the raindrops strikes the well worn gravestones. It is a peculiar
Floyd | feeling, the three of you being alone. You, your uncle and this
Floyd | mysterious challenge you now face.

Floyd | only one who holds contempt for Henry Lambert. Recent occurrences have
Floyd | hardly changed your opinion of him. The black surface of the coffin is
Floyd | a perfect reflection of the man inside. Even the polished brass handle

Floyd | The red piece of glass fits snugly into the statue's eye, as it clicks

Floyd | it did before. You hear a rumbling sound within the room. Fear grips
Floyd | you momentarily, you think you have angered the higher powers. Then

Floyd | the beauties of the ocean up close. You feel a dull thud as you
Floyd | finally reach the bottom.
Floyd |
Floyd |
Floyd | Never before have you seen such a spectacle. Even at this depth
Floyd | plantlife still grows and the occasional fish swims gracefully past.
Floyd | You feel guilty at having disturbed the sand around your feet.

Floyd | there are patches of rocks to the southeast.
