The door creaked open, revealing a long-forgotten room...
The Little Brown House
The dark glow from the little circle window made up for the darkness that led beyond me. The door suddenly swung open to a dark long room with dust that could make a another human. What laid beyond; now no one knew. I now slowly picked up my lantern and settled down on moving forward. When I meticulously adjusted my footing to the creaking ground, hopefull of not awakening whatever lays ahead of the long brown hall. As I start walking down I start to feel the fear that I was dreadfully wrong. I remind myself that this is the only way out. I suppose it would make me at ease if I took my lantern to look at the wallpaper. It’s a weird thing to do however this was my way of creating a smile on my face, so I decided to do that. Shit. I just dropped my lantern. I get on the ground and try to start the fire in it again. Nope, no use. At least I know what color the wallpaper is, a forest green color with a victorian accent. Mostly, covered however in brown panels. Back to making a fire which is the only hope of beyond. The lighter…it’s not there. I would like to look all around but it’s pitch black. The abyss is deafening honestly. Without light I may as well be dead but we must keep moving forward. I’d sometimes ask myself why I say “we”. Perhaps it’s the voices I hear.
