🚪 You decide to enter the Country Store + Boarding House on the left corner of the intersection.
You walk up the front steps of the cabin. It has a large porch filled with rocking chairs and quaint decorations: wooden statues of frogs and cats and toadstools, metal sculptures of butterflies and dragons, gazing balls of all colors on stone pedestals of all sizes, garden signs that say things like, “There’s Gnome Place Like Home” and “Grandma’s Is A Magical Place.” As you grasp the metal door handle and push open the heavy door, a bell chimes above your head.
👵🏾 On the far wall of the front room, an old lady sits behind a tall desk—although you can barely see her grey bun above the top of it. She appears to be working on something in her lap, but stops to greet you as you enter.
“Hello, dear!” she smiles. “Welcome.”
“Hello, thank you,” you smile back.
“Beautiful day outside, isn’t it?” she says. “Too bad it’s just a little too chilly to have the windows open.”
🧺 The rest of the room is loaded with different goods on tables and shelves. Woven baskets and dried bunches of herbs hang from the ceiling. One table is filled with a variety of baked treats. Another is covered in various hand-carved wooden figurines. On one side of the room, the shelves are lined with jars of jams and preserved fruits and vegetables. Folded sweaters sit neatly on the shelves on the other side of the room, and different hats and knitted scarves hang from pegs along the sides.
🗝️ To the left behind the old lady’s desk, you see a hallway with a sign above the doorway that reads, “ROOMS THIS WAY.”
What do you want to do next?
