The story

You are all burglers slinking through the night.

  • What do you have on you?

You find a nice old house near the shore and decide to explore it.

  • What do you see?
  • What will you do?
  • How do you get into the house?

You look around and start picking up pieces and putting them away.

  • What objects do you choose?

Suddenly something doesn't feel quite right.

  • What do you feel, hear, see?

You hear a whisper "Help me someone, let me out of here"

  • What will you do?

Then out of the dark was suddenly heard "Welcome to the home by the sea"

Coming out the woodwork, through the open door

Pushing from above and below

Shadows with no substance, in the shape of men

Round and down and sideways they go

Adrift without direction, eyes that hold despair

Then as one they sigh and they moan

"Help us someone, let us out of here"

  • What will you do?

One of the ghosts come to you and say "We were living here so long undisturbed, dreaming of the time we were free, so many years ago.

Before the time when we first heard - Welcome to the home by the sea"

The ghost approaches you and say "Sit down, as we relive our lives in what we tell you"

Other ones surround you and say "Sit down, Cause you won't get away

No, with us you will stay

For the rest of your days, so sit down"

More and more ghosts gather around you and start telling their stories in sad voices.

Images of sorrow, pictures of delight

Things that go to make up a lifeEndless days of summer, longer nights of gloomWaiting for the morning light

  • What will you do?
