Chapter 3 - THE GAME BEGINS

Roxanne took a deep breath before explaining. "I needed to live", she began."I heard screaming as I fell into a river. I washed ashore and saw you here". I laughed hysterically and stopped suddenly. "You are telling me", I began, enunciating clearly, "that somehow we got here and.... Where's my cube?" I asked, almost losing my cool. I found it in my room, neatly placed upon a stack of books. West Manor is located at the edge of a cliff. My room is weirdly located at the edge of the cliff. I looked at the cube with some trepidation and held it. I walked downstairs and saw Roxanne looking at an old photo. Tom and I were laughing. We took that photo the day before our voyage. Suddenly, I noticed a piece of paper in her hair. I reached out and took it. I could barely make out the words "GAME ON" before realizing that a mysterious person was behind all this. I made a silent vow to shove this cube down her throat. Something about this seemed female and familiar. I noticed that, in the red light of sunset, her hair looked like it was on fire. 

I brought the cube out and studied it. If I tilted it slightly to the left, I'd see Tom smiling at me. I soon hypothesized that Tom must have given me this to find a way to bring him back. I also noticed that if I maintained concentration for a sustained amount of time, I could do strange things.
