You come back to your thoughts you notice you are about to enter the passage way that the wise elder told you not to enter...
Where were your thoughts earlier?
Haven't I been told something like that...
Not to just wander...
I wonder...
As if a trick of sorts,
you continued deeper and deeper into the passage way...
You snap out of it for a moment and think
[[Where am I now?]] You look behind yourself [[the dark passage]] only a memory of the past. In front of you a small red light glows as the passage becomes a large hallway reminicent of a room where you would develop film...
Taking care to [[check under your feet]] you contemplate about [[running backwards]] but something tells you the only way is [[forward|begin and end]].the dirt passage slowly becomes tiles with markings on them, you [[bend down to check the symbols]] but something tells you both to consider [[running backwards]] or [[checking your pockets]]You run backwards-- away from the passage and it's pull.
Being careful not to [[trip]] as you run into the [[narrow dark hall]]A contract--
with your name on it, is written on the floor of the passage...
It offers you [[everything]] at the cost of [[nothing]]
it must be a trick...
x_________ >[[sign here]]
[[look closer at the light]]in your pockets only lint and-- wait...
[[What is this?]]You fall and hit your head-- quickly trying to retake in your surrounding you are overtaken by the [[light]].the walls and darkness surround you as you venture deeper into the hall...
the [[darkness]] awaits you.Darkness is where we [[begin and end]].Someone once told me to listen to my elders.
I didn't believe it.
They said "[[the dark passage]] is not to be trusted... it will call you deeper and deeper into the [[castle of the scarylight]]!"
I thought that was [[crazy]] but it seems to be playing over and over in my head...Every turn I seem to [[begin and end]]-- I am [[crazy]].
I am [[everything]].
I am [[darkness]].
I am [[light]].I now have [[everything]].
Except...
[[Nothing]]The light becomes brighter and brighter--

WAITING FOR USER INPUT.You think to yourself
"Why would someone name a castle something so silly?"
It must just be a natural spook of the world that got turned into something much more [[crazy]] with [[time]]...
>[[Keep listening to the elder]]Time is a place you know you are trapped in thought.
You can have as much as you would like if you [[sign here]]...
or you can [[run away|running backwards]]...
or wait-- [[Where am I now?]]
[[What am I doing?]]"The scarylight is in us all...
We agree to have it shine on us, so that we might not be scared of the [[darkness]] and what it might bring. But it is not [[light]].
It will bring you nothing but [[madness|crazy]].
In [[time]] something will take us all.
But don't let it be the scarylight..."
Okay you are sure they are just rambling now about the past and it's stories...
