  The Bryant Collection (2009)

  > x envelope (@ Living Room)

  This is a standard envelope stuffed with fifteen sheets of triple-folded lined paper. The pages are loose, and are covered in neat writing in blue pen. In a few places, the ink has bled where drops of moisture fell on the pages. The envelope is unaddressed and unstamped, and the words "UNDELIVERED LOVE LETTER" are writted across the front. Where the return address would be is the date "1975."

  (To enter this story, pick up the envelope labeled "Undelivered Love Letter".)

  > x envelope (@ Kitchen)

  There is nothing written on the envelope. This is to protect the identity of its intended recipient, should you get caught. Too bad you don't know who the actual recipient might be, either. They didn't tell you the name even in passing - maybe to ensure you won't stupidly blurt out the name, in case you are captured and tortured. All you know is that further instructions await you in the house, probably in this very room.

• What Dreams May Come (2003)

  > x yellow paper envelope (@ Maze of cubicles)
