What a surprise!

Everything in that basement was just odd and off-putting.  I had to keep my wits about me though, and unravel the mysteries that would get me home.  Maybe I've been in one too many mystery situations, but somehow I was able to make my way out of that basement, only to be met with a blinding light and lots of loud voices and noise.

Had I died?  No, thankfully.  I was greeted with the shouts and cheers friends.  This had all just been a ruse for a birthday party!  They were so proud of themselves for surprising me, and I was just in shock.  I know I like mysteries folks, but maybe next year we can just go to a restaurant?

Where am I?

 I went back home feeling a bit better after I talked to my friend about the letters I had received.  She said it was nothing to worry about.  And then the doorbell rang...

I don't remember much after that except waking up in this cage.  I managed to figure out the lock, but now looking out more clearly at the scene before me...who has done this to me?  What is going on?!

Winter's Delight

 ...or is it despair?

I've started receiving letters from a secret admirer.  Who are they, and how did they figure out who I am, much less where I live to deliver letters to me?  I'm feeling a bit jumpy as I walk toward shadows now, wondering what may be in them or right behind closed doors.
