I walked towards the house with anxiousness, chills in every step.

Mario: I shouldn't be out in the rain for too long. I'll get sick.

There was fountain in the front yard, as well as some tombstones.

Mario: Why are these things here?

One had the name scratched out, but I didn't know why. Then something shining in the fountain caught my gaze.

Mario: Now what do we have here?

It was... A crowbar.

Mario: I guess this could be useful...

I tried to open the door, but it was locked.

Mario: Crowbar, it's your time to shine.

It was tough, but I managed to pry open the door. I was in delight. However, the crowbar wasn't- It broke.

Mario: Blasted tools! Can't even last for one simple job.

I opened the door and was met with a surprise: The lights were off. Pitch black. I struck a match to see better.

Mario: Hello? I know someone is here. The lights cant just be on by themselves..

There was a light coming from one of the halls.

Mario: There has to be somebody here. The lights can't just be on.

As I walked towards the room, a sweet melody filled the air.

A... Music box?

It sat there playing it's song. A little figure spun inside.

Mario: I wonder who turned this box on?

*Disappointment intensifies*

It's turning by itself...


Mario: I guess I'll take it, since nobody is using it.

All of the sudden, the power went out.

Mario: Mama Mia! I can't see anything!

Ouch! What's this?
