This morning I woke up in a strange place.

[Unition]

Something really strange is going on - this morning I woke up in a place where I did not fall asleep.

Last night was a night just like any other...came home late, crawled into bed, fell asleep - but when I woke I was definitely not lying in my bed.  It was hard, and painful, and dark - and from what I could feel around me everything was not in its right place.  Took me a good five minutes of fumbling around in the dark before I remembered my phone in my pocket, and flipped it open, to reveal:



Thankfully my phone has a camera and a bookmark to this forum!  I'm getting zero bars of reception, but I can still send data, hopefully.

In the lower portions of the photo you can see a big plank that I woke up on.  There's a lot of crumbled wall and trash all over the floor, makes walking around in the limited light hazardous, but after a quick poke around it looks like this dirty basement-like area has no doors and only a little tiny square window at the back - so how did I get in here?  There's just another ugly crumbling wall behind me.

The room has no smell and I feel no breeze pointing to a way in or out of here...but I can hear a soft hum coming from the ceiling above me.  There's a machine on my right, looks like a boiler or something, but it doesn't appear to be on.

What should I do?  I could poke around through the trash on the floor, or have a closer look at the boiler, or try and see out the tiny window.  Maybe you can see something in the photo I missed.  But keep in mind my cell phone screen is tiny and has a limited battery life so keep your suggestions down to a sentence or two.

look boiler

It's a big rectangular box with pipes coming out of it, and a bunch of valves on the front.  I tried turning the knobs but nothing happened.  It looks really rusty along the bottom, maybe it sprang a leak at one point?

Doh, you caught my post before I edited it ;D  (didn't notice the boiler was off, and thus not hot!)

The walls seem pretty solid, I knocked down some bricks but there's only stone behind them.

There's a big chip out of the window now, looks like it was made out of some pretty thick glass.  Even if I manage to break it I doubt I could even get my head through it - it's pretty tiny.

Looking through the window I can only see another brick wall, about a foot away.  It's oddly dark outside, though according to my watch it should be daytime.

You can't get ye flask.

Examine item (by crumbled wall beside the window) with writing "ACE" on it

It's a box from "Ace Hardware".  It's full of rubble and rusty bits of metal, but look what I found at the bottom!



It feels like it was cheap even before it was left to rust, but I could probably pry something good with it.

Use light switch (Left wall)

Use rusty item and carefully attempt to pry open the old boiler

Hey, now the light is on!  Now that I can see a little better...

... I can try to pry this boiler apart.

Well, it fell off the wall.  There's a hole behind it.  I don't think I came in this way, but it may be my only way out.



Should I crawl into there?  I can see a mess of pipes and more rubble in the back.
