The Alley

The second I set foot in the Alley I knew it was a trap. Everything went dark. I nearly tripped over a tricycle on the stairs. I threw up magic lantern, the sudden flash of light temporally blinding me. My eyes adjusted just in time to avoid the dog statuette that came crashing down from the balcony above me. That was close!

Looking up from where the statuette fell I could see an open window with the curtains moving, was that from the wind or something more ominous? Was someone just there pushing that statuette off the balcony?

My magic lantern wore out so I used my flashlight to finish looking around. There were other objects on the balcony: cat statuette, gnome, guitar, rocking horse and a bas-relief. All stuff that could be dropped on me.

There was more stuff on the stairs. Lock, basket, suitcase, wheel and of course the tricycle. Was this all there to trip me?

Why was so much stuff in the fountain? Iron, stone flower, watering can.

One of the most sinister objects I spotted was a coil of rope hanging from lamp post. What was this going to be used for? To tie me? To hang me? To strangle me?

I know one thing for sure. I need to leave here for now. I will come back later and look for clues as to who is trying to hurt me. As for now I trust no one.
