A road to death

I woke up somewhere unfamiliar to me. All I could remember was that I was having some kind of a party with my family. I tried to trace my memory as I sat down on a chair nearby.

The wall was stained with dirt and there was a lit candle on a table nearby. I was very clueless. I stood up and went to the table. There was a mysterious letter.

The letter looked like it had been wet not so long ago but still readable. The paper was made out of an old yellow leather. I read the letter to myself.

Be careful. For those who read shall prepare for the consequences.

I was scratching my head when suddenly, a footstep was heard somewhere outside the room. My heart was pounding as if it was about to burst. It was loud, followed by some metal scratching the floor.

I couldn't see it but I could tell that it was somewhere outside. I stayed silent. I looked around and there was a door at the end of the room.

The footsteps stopped all of a sudden. I stared at the door, and just in case, I held the candle to shine the way more clearer.

I stepped back a little when I saw two feet below the door. There was a gibberish sound from the door. A few seconds later, the feet walked away.

I wiped off the sweat of mine and sighed. Not long after that, something destroyed the bed from underneath it. Not forget to mention, the whole floor was made out of dirt.

I shielded my eyes with my shoulders. I put down my hands down when everything was settled. I opened my eyes in surprise because there was a Grim Reaper with his long scythe.

His face was just too frightening to see. I rushed to the door with the candle. I opened the door and closed it. But outside was far more worser. The wall were made out of dirt and it was dark.

There were a myriad of skeletons and skulls looking towards me. I could hear the breath of the grim reaper calling my name. Goosebumps were felt at every inch of my body.

I ran through the pile of skeleton with my hands covering the candle. As I ran, the room seems to be endless. I kept on running until I saw there was a prisoner cage.

There was a lady, trapped on the other side. She seems to be familiar. Flashback suddenly popped out of my head.

It wasn't so clear but I managed to see that I was having a picnic with her. And then my memory ended. I insisted to save her.

There was a key inside a skeleton skull with it's mouth wide open. I insert my whole hand when suddenly, my hand got chopped off by the grim reaper.

It was too late. It felt agonisingly painful. Blood was flowing out of my hand. The grim reaper held my head up and threw me inside the jail with the lady.

She was lying down on the floor. I pushed and pulled her repeatedly. She woke up sitting with her eyes closed.

"What happened?!" I yelled.

She opened her eyes. It was white. She then opened her mouth widely. There was a lot of sharp fangs.

Before I knew it, she ate both my legs in an instant. And I felt my life will end with a puzzled ending. I didn't know where was I.

I hoped to die now but it won't. She dragged me like a lifeless corpse. It was painful. She then tossed me into a lava pit. And my life finally ended.
