Rules of the House

Seven Rules hang on the wall of the Bellwether House, built in 1891 and unchanged since. Keep the Tally. Do not answer a knock from the Cellar. Do not speak in the Hour of Silence. Wren Calloway is the new Caretaker, hired to count eight guests onto a chalk slate every midnight for five nights. The last Caretaker walked upstairs in 1997 and never came down, and his journal was never found. Something between the Cellar and the Attic keeps the Rules better than anyone, and it is counting too.
