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.
