You are now facing up a flight of stairs.  In the hallway, the room to your right has grown silent.

Nothing bothers you as you reach the top of the stairs.  Directly at the top of the stairs is a door leading to the outside of the house.  To the right is the kitchen.  The door to the left is closed.

Next to the stove is a knife rack with various cutting tools designed for slicing meat, delicious meat.  Oh man, what you wouldn't give for just a single hamburger, a juicy steak, even some chicken wings.  Just something, anything to sate that insurmountable craving for RED MEAT.  MEAT!  YOU MUST HAVE MEAT!  You raid the fridge and, somewhere between the severed head of your roommate and the cabbage, you find an 8oz sirloin.

A delicious half-hour later, you're on the kitchen floor, licking your fingers.

Also, in the oven there is another crumpled up note, near the burners.  If you had turned on the oven, it would have been incinerated instantly.  Oh, and the freezer door is slightly ajar.

Gotten.

Az, I'm leaving you this note in case you don't hear from me.  I'm concerned about {smudged name}, he doesn't seem... normal.  In any case, I love you now and always will.

When you open it fully, you are greeted by a horrendous stench.  Various body parts, each in various stages of decomposition exacerbated by the lack of proper freezing, appear blackened and necrotized, and very bloody.  Whoever they belonged to was alive when they were removed.  There is also melted ice cream.  What a waste.

Aside from being smeared with blood and having pentagrams and satanic symbols carved into it with what appears to be fingernails, it's rather unremarkable.  The smell of death is less prevalent here.

The computer did not appreciate the spray of lead, and precious mystery-solving information may have been lost forever.  The microwave, the other computer, and the pantry were safe from the gunfire.

The more modern of the two, an iMac made in 2001, has been destroyed by gunfire.  The oldest one, a 1993 Macintosh LC3, appears to be in working order.  It is currently running, with an entertaining screensaver featuring Boris the Cat.
