A secret chamber
You pull open the trapdoor. It creaks as if it's about to break off
it's hinges. You peer inside. It's pitch dark!
" Guys!" Barb gasps, " The sun is going down! I'm
freaked out! Please! Let's go!"
You glance at Barb over your shoulder. " Barb, don't
leave!"
" What are you talking about? I haven't moved an inch!"
You jerk your head to your right. Dave is kneeling beside you. But,
you can still hear the footsteps!
You leap into the secret passage. " C'mon, get down here!"
you shout. Barb glares at you then sets her eyes to Dave.
" Dave, do you know what this nut is talking about?" Dave
shakes his head.
" Look, would you two get down here and pipe down?" Dave
climbs into the passage with you and bends over to look at the tunnel.
" I see a light at the end of this!" he bellows.
" And I see that I'm going home!" Barb calls over her
shoulder.
" That's enough!" you say, " Dave stay here and shut
the lid. I'm going for Barb!" And so, you follow the fading
footsteps into the darkness.
