It had been another of those days! Yet again, you had been on the receiving end of a lecture from Mr. Mildew, your boss at Grutch Industries:
Yep, it sure bad been one of "those" days all right and the only snag was that there seemed to be a heck of a lot of them recently. However, old Mildew and his poxy job would have to wait ... Tonight was Friday and the "weekend" begins here! Or at least it would have done if there had been anything more than just fluff in your hip pocket. You really fancied a good night out and here you were, three weeks from your next pay cheque and skint already ... Just where was the justice in this world? Then your mind chugs into gear and you remember "STEVE's". You could always get into there provided you were dressed properly; but if not, then the "bouncers" would have a field day and your bum would end up bouncing down the street. Mind you, a night in "STEVE's" club was worth the aggro of wearing the right clobber and if you did manage to get inside your only problem then would be finding the cash to buy the drinks.
You laugh softly to yourself when you think of "STEVE's" and what Uncle Roger had told you about the place . . that it was built on evil ground, on the very same spot where, centuries before, some terrified locals used to burn suspected witches at the stake. But let's face it, old Uncle Roger was well known for being a few sandwiches short of a picnic; what with his talk of ley lines, other dimensions, alternative realities etc; and judging by the ugly old crones you saw last time you visited "STEVE's", the locals couldn't have burnt all the witches ... if they had ever done such a thing at all.
Although you had a soft spot for old Uncle Roger, you had to admit that most of his tales stank more than the un-emptied dustbins that were festering away in the alleys near you house ... Apart from which "STEVE's" was NEAR and "STEVE's" was CHEAP and that was all you cared about .........
Explore your local neighbourhood and try to get into "STEVE's" nightclub to discover what surprises and further exploits await you there. But beware ... once inside you may never see the light of day again!!!!
