"Here" by Jordan Mann

The story genre is "Science Fiction". The release number is 0. The story headline is "Here". The story description is "Welcome to Here."

The Here is a room. "You come to in a room. A very small room, made completely out of stone, each wall of a different color. Looking at the walls, you notice the northern wall is of a brighter green hue and is covered in text."

The envelope is a closed, locked openable container in Here. Incorporated by it is the stamp. The description of the envelope is "The envelope is nice and crisp, and looks to be recently addressed. [If envelope is locked] It is glued shut with a substance you are not familiar with, and you find yourself unable to rapture the paper-like sides. However, you notice that the container's wax stamp seems to be a sort of switched-off button. [Otherwise] The envelope is now unsealed (but closed), and you can see the silhouette of a letter inside."

The stamp is a device. It is a thing. The stamp is switched off. Carry out switching on the stamp: now the envelope is unlocked.

Inside the envelope is the letter. The description of the letter is "Welcome, human traveler! You have reached Here, a testing center for people of your kind. Your goal is to leaveâ€“ a process that may take some time. Thank you for your cooperation (or the lack of it, we don't really mind)."

The northern wall is a closed, locked door. It is scenery. The northern wall is south of Testing Room 1 and north of Here. The description of the northern wall is "The wall is made of a greenish-grey stone, seamlessly blending with the bluish-grey walls and floor of the rest of the room. Unlike its surroundings, however, the wall is covered in many small-printed sentences of an alien language that appears similar to Japanese. [If northern wall is locked]One sentence, you notice, is bold, painted red, and stands out. [Otherwise] The wall has slid up into who knows where, revealing a passage north. On the ground that it previously covered, the text 'Good luck!' stands out."

Incorporated by the northern wall is a sentence. The sentence is a device. It is a thing. The sentence is switched on. The description of the sentence is "The sentence is red, bold, and stands out from the rest of the northern wall's bluish text. It appears to be a sort of device, however, and is currently switched on." Carry out switching off the sentence: now the northern wall is unlocked. Carry out switching off the sentence: now the northern wall is open.
