As you leave the Post Office, somebody slams and locks the door behind you.

Hilltop

What next?
>verbose
[Maximum verbosity.]

Hilltop
You're on a hilltop overlooking the seaside village of Festeron.

To the south stands the Festeron Post Office. It's a little brick building with a neatly trimmed lawn. The Post Office door is closed.

Roads run down the hill to the east and west. There's a signpost nearby.

>west
Outside Cemetery
You're standing next to an open iron gate that leads west into the Festeron Cemetery. A road runs east to the top of Post Office Hill.

What next?
>yes
Talking to yourself is said to be a sign of impending mental collapse.

The cemetery is a spooky place. Are you sure you want to go in there?

[Please type YES or NO.] >yes

You have been warned.

Creepy Corner
You're in a creepy corner of the Festeron Cemetery, surrounded by silent tombstones. An iron gate opens to the east, and a narrow lane wanders north.

Spooky Copse
A copse of willow trees makes this part of the cemetery look really spooky. Narrow lanes wander south and west.

There's an open grave nearby, freshly dug, with a tombstone erected next to it.

An old gravedigger is resting under a willow tree.

The gravedigger nods a greeting as you approach.

What next?

[Formerfish]

greet gravedigger

[Charles510]

>greet gravedigger
The gravedigger doesn't respond. He seems to be a bit hard of hearing.

The gravedigger notices the mysterious envelope you're holding. "That's a mighty mysterious-lookin' envelope you got there," he says. "Let's have a look at it."

What next?

show letter

[Charles510]

>show letter
[to the gravedigger]
The gravedigger peers at the address on the mysterious envelope. "Hmm," he mutters, handing it back to you. "Could've sworn I buried that old woman years ago."

[You are again holding the mysterious envelope.]

"Couldn't ask for a nicer day for diggin' graves."

[You won't see the "What next?" prompt any more.]

climb in grave

[Charles510]

>climb in grave
The gravedigger reaches into the open grave and pulls you out. "Don't go in there!" he cries. "You might get buried alive!"

"Got to go," says the gravedigger, picking up his shovel. "See you soon."

The old man ambles away to the west.

There's an old bone here.

Twilight Glen
The trees here are so thick, it's almost too dark to see! You can make out an open iron gate to the north, and a narrow lane between the tombstones winds off to the east.

There must have been a burial here recently. Somebody left their umbrella leaning up against a tombstone.

The gravedigger is locking the iron gate from the outside as you approach. "Keep out of the cemetery after Dark," he tells you with a sly wink.

You can hear him chuckling as he disappears to the north.
