The lure of the countryside

There's always a temptation to up sticks and just move to the country.

You get more for your money, housewise, but a longer commute.

But what if that dream country home turns into a mare? What if the locals drive you away with pitchforks for being townsfolk?

What if there's no running water or flowing electricity? What if some bizarre cult has been holding ritual sacrifices on your land for centuries and you can't stop them carrying on, else you'll be the next victim?

The town it is for me then.
