There is a beginning. It's not a great beginning but it has options. There are several options. Unfortunately not all of them are available at the beginning.
<p> In the event of an emergency. In fact, I'm not entirely sure where to go with this. But we'll see.
You have the choice of three colored rooms.

You should have expected it. The Green room is the Garden. It's a surprisingly large garden for being in a room. There is lots of sunshine streaming in through the large glass walls and partial glass ceiling.
(if: $photo is 1)[On the wall there is an empty picture frame. On closer inspection you feel the photograph in your hand would fit. Gently you slide it into place. It looks right at home here in the garden.](if: $pool is 1)[You spy a bench off to one side, partically covered by a rose bush. It seems like a good place to put the towel down on and take a seat.]
Not only is it green with all the of leaves and vines, but plenty of other colors as well. Purples, pinks, reds, oranges and yellows in the various flowers and fruits to name just a few.
There's a wicker basket near where you came in that has several freshly pulled carrots. You pick one up and knock the dirt off of it as you decide where to go to next.

(if: $photo is 1)[While you want to inspect the photo more closely, after entering the door, you are hit with a wave of hot humidity. You decide it's better to leave the photograph outside then bring it into the next room with you.(set: $photo=0)]
Welcome to the blue room. It's very blue. In fact it's a pool. It's not a large pool. You could probably reach the other side by diving in and swim across it in one breath. It's also pretty warm. In fact you spy a timer.
It's a really big jacuzzi you decide and it looks rather inviting. There's a towel just sitting next to the pool and a swimsuit to change into.

(set: $red=1)
After the first door, you find yourself staring at a second door. It will only open after you've closed the first door. (if: $pool is 1)[You feel you should completely dry yourself off before you enter the second door. With no where else to put the towel, you leave on the floor of the little hall before continuing. (set: $pool=0)]
As you enter the room is black and you fumble around for the light switch. Switching it on reveals all the lights were replaced with red ones and casts the room in a very red glow.
Your eyes adjust and you see there are photographs hanging everywhere. Some look developed and some are not. Some are in the process of drying and there are negatives strewn about the table.
It's a small rooom and not much else to see in it. As you turn to go, one of the developed photographs catches your eye.

You lean in closer to look at the photograph. It is a picture of an old house. The roof has partically fallen in and the weeds have grown up around it. The trees have grown high over head and covered it. Old braches lay strewn on the small front porch. The window glass is frosted and cracked. Paint is chipped all along the siding.
It reminds you of home.
Carefully you pick the photo off of the drying line and gently carry it with you.

The backyard is neatly trimmed and there is still the scent of fresh cut grass in the air. The sun is shining brightly and you see a lawn chair with a pitcher of lemonaid with some glasses next to it. You help yourself and sit down in the chair.

No one is around, you quickly change into the swimsuit and ease yourself into the jacuzzi and turn on the bubbles. It's more relaxing then you thought. After a few moments you close your eyes and drift off to the sound of the bubbles and jets massaging your back.
After 15 minutes the buzzer dings and your relaxation has been interrupted. Probably best to get out anyway.
You change back into your clothes and pick another door to explore.
