Boo.
Doomed to spend the rest of my life on the spiral staircase.
Hogwarts express?
Just like the Steve Jackson books I read in the '80s, I got stuck in an endless loop, cheated, and then got stuck on the staircase. Bah!
*cackles evilly*

Those lost souls you've created... they're mine, all mine, today!
Inspired by Colossal Cave Adventure (I think). Remember

YOU ARE IN A MAZE OF TWISTY LITTLE PASSAGES, ALL ALIKE.
Trick or ... trick!
Great stuff, ended up on the tracks.
somehow i ended up on the dangleway
Needed XYZZY or PLUGH
Ah. My old enemy. Stairs.
Intriguing story. I wonder to what extent Graves End has been modelled on Kennington? We may never find out ...
I was convinced that one of the endings was going to get you out of the station...but then stuck standing at Bus Stop M for the rest of eternity
Well that was unnerving....
From nowhere a dwarf appears. He throws an axe at your head. It misses...
THIS WAY LIES MADNESS!
I should have taken a bus...........
Fail to identify any happy ending as potentially trailed in the intro....
Oooh! A bit Tales of the Unexpected there!!
And now I've got to catch a train! At least it's daytime or I'd be feeling seriously spooked right now!!

Happy Halloween! May the only spirits you encounter be of the cocktail variety!
The pun is probably that one should get rid of "May or may".
So is ∞ steps equivalent to a 15 storey building?
Even more scary than the real Gravesend!
(500) You have failed in your mission.
The happy ending is being electrocuted rather than being trapped forever.
"The next station will be Strand, where you will terminate. Always remember to check the destination on the front of the train. You should have gone to Specsavers."
Count yourselves lucky. I'm still wandering round the corridors of the London Hat Museum looking for the gift shop.
Too scared to complete. Now read Friedrich Dürrenmatt’s ‘Der Tunnel’
Well played DG, reminded me of this:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_Line
...my first thought was: this isn't going to end well
I was coming home late last night and I saw a train that I'm sure had a destination of "Graves End"

...but I was going from Lewisham to Waterloo East so that makes sense!
I am delighted that you wrote Hallowe'en.
