Imagine you have the perfect life. You're well off, comfortable, young, healthy, and with an ideal partner. You have your whole future ahead of you. Life couldn't be any better. Now imagine suddenly, unexpectedly, mysteriously, it's all ripped away. How would you feel? What would you do?Now imagine that you begin to discover that not only is your beautiful partner gone, but they have been keeping secrets from you. They were living a secret life right beneath your very nose. It happens more than you might think. Because of the death of his young wife, Wilfred Elliot found himself in a deadly downward spiral. Because he could not face the world, he withdrew from it and the more he hid from reality, the more fragile his mind and his sanity became. Then, when he found a strange item among his wife's possessions, he became obsessed with it, he had to unravel its mystery. Wouldn't you?Friends and family became concerned for him, as you would expect. But emotional pits are something you must climb out of on your own sometimes. Wilfred realized he had to get away and a friend helped him find the perfect destination: The Blackstone Hotel, nestled high up in the Rocky Mountains in a place called Dreaming Rock. Wilfred traveled there, in the hopes that the fresh air and change of scenery might lift him from his misery but Dreaming Rock and the Blackstone Hotel has a dark past. It's a place of secret, with a mysterious power. For some, it is a scenic, privileged getaway, for others, it is an experience they will never forget, if they survive it that is. You might be wondering why some people discover the darkness there and not others?It may be because some people need to be punished while others may have a gift, both of which make them prime to experience the secret offerings of the place. Maybe their vulnerability gives them the ability to see what others cannot? Or the power to detect what most are afraid to even consider? Do you have that gift? Or is it a curse? Some people need to see what lies beneath the surface. The fact that you are reading this suggests you are one of those people. Are you? Are you one of those people? The ones that can see beneath the surface?Or are you someone in need of punishment, of the most terrifying kind?Now the question is, what do you seek? One way or another, you have questions and you must know the answers, just as Wilfred did. You must get to the truth, even if it comes with the highest price. Just like Wilfred. That's how he felt and that's why he did what he did because he was driven to know the truth, even if it drove him to the edge. You can find the answers, just like Wilfred, if you're willing to open your mind if you're willing to face what you discover. Will you open your mind?Yes, I think you will. And you will see and hear and feel the things that Wilfred did. You are becoming more and more intrigued. You must know the mystery of Blackstone. You won't be the same afterward, I can promise you that. But at least you will have your answers because sometimes it's worse not knowing. Imagine that you walk along beside him as Wilfred unravels the mystery that has engulfed his life. Do you dare?Though the real question may be, do you have a choice?Will you follow his dark path and discover the awful truth? Or turn away, in fear, as most people do. Which will it be? Revelation or willful blindness? Give in and you will be allowed to explore the rooms of the Blackstone Hotel and maybe uncover its dark secrets. Or else forever be curious about what you might have discovered. You feel compelled to know, don't you?You know you do. Room 322 is waiting. Be careful.
