Miller House Environment
Perched atop Beacon Hill, amidst a concrete jungle is the towering mass of metal and glass, a lair of sorts where a community of creatures dwell within its walls. These creatures are known as “students” and are often considered a group of sub-humans due to their unusual nature. The locals call this place “Miller Hall,” however its name is only spoken in whispers.
Security is tight at the front doors and only few have ever been able to gain access to the inside without a key. You can gain access by coaxing one of the residents with food and alcohol (on occasion).

Deep reds, pinks, and yellows merge together in swirls, streaked like paint across the sky. Clouds weave their way through the colors, their bellies shaded with deep gray. The best times to view this spectacle are between seven and eight, with times varying between seasons. The doors of 1611 are almost always open and admission is free. You only need to expect to make small talk with its residents, myself included, who are inclined to make new friends with everyone they
