- sleet falls everywhere all the time. The ground is thick with grey slush. Twice your car almost slides out of control, but you don't exit the vehicle. You have no idea what's out there.
- you arrive at a hotel at around five. It's a massive building, more like a mansion than a skyscraper. It's painted dark grey to fit in with the surroundings and you spy shadows flitting back and forth behind the top windows.
- when you check in, the receptionist is serious and dark-haired. Your luggage is taken away by a butler in all black. Before you go to your room, the receptionist tells you under no circumstances should you leave your room at night. You ask her why but she just shakes her head.

- you see a newspaper headline about a dead body found in a frozen lake. A shiver runs down your spine.
