With much effort, you have opened the window enough to allow entry.
>enter window
You have moved into a dark place. It is pitch black.

You have been eaten by a grue.
I'll admit, I played a ton of Zork, mostly on our workhorse Commodore 64. Never won it. Never came close. Got to the dam, got my hands on a wrench. Opened the sluice gate. I think that's as far as I got. More often than not, I'd wind up wandering the woods or going up and down stairs in the stupid white house. I never did get the hang of the commands or the map. Maybe some of you were more successful. I will say, to this day, if I have to go into the garage or the basement and it's dark, I am vaguely concerned about being eaten by a grue.
