- | The three of you race across to shelter under the porch, as though an unseen hand is pushing all of you towards the derelict house.

- | "It's all your fault!" Charmaine accuses Kwan.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | "It's not!" He ducks aside as a stream of water suddenly pours through another hole in the roof.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | "At least we have some cover here," you begin, the peacemaker again!

- | | + | |
- | It is a creaking sound. You all hear it. Like ancient timber, being dragged by something. A groaning, weary kind of noise.

| + | |
- | | + | |
- | Very slowly.
| + | |
- | | + | |
- | It is starting to open...
