• A taunting laugh breaks the silence. I can’t move, I can’t see. My head whips in the direction of the noise, but all that I see is never-ending darkness. A hand reaches out to drag me with it, but I fight its icy clutches and escape, gasping for air. There. I see it. Its smell hits me first. The rank of rotten flesh
    invades my nostrils. Its Body withered and hunched. The creature’s skin gray and burnt. The hands crumpled, dragging itself towards me. Its eyes are wild and savage, the teeth rotting and bloody. The hands stretch towards me and start dragging me into the expanse of darkness. My eyes widen, my arms
    reaching for help that will never come. My mouth opens in a scream, but no sound comes.
