Red.

It's all red combined with a few patches of black.

This wasn't a graveyard anymore. 

In fact, there are pieces of wood floating in the air. A door is attached to the ground. It has a stained glass window that forms a rose.

"You're not supposed to be here, Max."

Her head flicks to look at her unfamiliar surroundings, trying to find where the voice came from.

She walks forward, deeper into this "house".

Tick.

Tock.

She looks up to find a levitating grandfather clock; it's the same one that she found in the school except there was something different inside.

It's appearance is the same. The same dirty brown finish with the same fancy gold details. It's still the same, tall, weight-driven pendulum clock.

Yet there was something inside.

Max steps closer and closer to solve what was so abnormal about this clock. Her eyes are deep in focus as she squints, trying to get an even better look.

Oh.

It's a body arranged in a fetal position.

It doesn't seem like a creature from the Upside Down because there are bits and pieces of decaying flesh. Max observes the body even more to discover a small white card on the bottom of the clock. 

It read, 'Y/n'.

She extends her hand to touch the glass.

"Do not disturb her."
