Shadows lurked in every corner and felt like monsters. Gulping down his heart he stepped inside the room. The creaking door sent shivers down his spine. A muted noise alerted him and he bounded out. Looking back, he saw a lone candle following him. Just as he was about to turn, he bumped into something. Two sets of teeth were jeering at him near the doorway.
