Making a Text Based Game

I've started to make a text based game, but I think it's getting really dirty and I'm pretty sure I haven't got the concepts right. So, just wondering if anybody can give me a basic outline of what objects I need and how they should be linked. I'm just having the standard command line style interface. I want to create locations, people, and items, and have you be able to talk to the people. I've also been thing about a sort of trigger system (like you'd see in an editor for a full fledged game). Just not really sure how or whether it's even logical to implement one. So, any help would be much appreciated. Or if anybody has made a text based game that they could let me look at the code for that would help too.
