3. Knock twice on the door, then attempt to open it again.
» If it remains locked:* Do not proceed. Leave the house and do not return.
» If it opens:* You may enter. You will find the room windowless, and the only object within it will be a bed. The bed will be placed in the middle of the room, and it will be made with red sheets. Proceed to step four.
4. At this point, you must make a choice: You may leave the room; or, you may stay close the red door behind you.
» Should you choose to leave the room: You may do so safely. You will experience no ill effects, so long as you do not return to the house again. Ever.
» Should you choose to stay and close the door behind you: You must cross to the bed, and you must lie down upon it. Do not slide under the sheets; instead, rest your bones on top of them. Proceed to step five.
5. Close your eyes, and hold still. You may experience any or all of the following: The sound of weeping; a heavy knocking upon the door; the shaking of the bed.
