The master bedroom is a room. "You are a 60-year old woman living with her husband and two sons in the fictitious inner city of Baltemoor. The house is a corner unit located next to an alley where unlawful activities often occur.  The house is east of a police station two blocks away.  The Baltemoor neighborhood is known for The Corner Buds, an unscrupulous group of menacing people racing loud cars and mopeds through the neighborhood and engaging in unlawful activities. Your house is uniquely structured with a winding staircase that has two rooms on each of the two upper levels.  On the top level is your bedroom, which you occupy with your husband, and a sewing room. In your sewing room on your table is a pattern, scissors, and ruler, with a baseball bat in a corner that your family insists you keep nearby at all times. You heard a noise coming from the south of the bedroom."

You hear movement of things. You think what are they stealing? You want to enter the basement, but you hesitate.  Your heart is racing, you are beginning to sweat and become short of breath. Should you call the cops? Nah.  Cops don't respond to this neighborhood in Baltemoor.  You wished you had a gun, but you would probably would shoot yourself in your foot. You decide to be brave with your sewing scissors and baseball bat and check it out yourself. You say to yourself come what may I will defend what is mine. You turn on the light switch after opening the door and receive a resounding noisy SURPRISE!!!! You pass out."
