I decided to heed the warning, and stay in the middle. As I walked down the hallway, black hands begun reaching out for me!!!

"Ahhh!!!!" I screamed. I froze in place, and trembled in fear. I shut my eyes tightly as I heard the hands feeling all around for me... but nothing happened.

I opened my eyes slowly and noticed, they couldn't reach me in the middle of the hallway. I guess I made the right choice to heed the warning...

I was careful to stay in the center and walked past all the hands. I reached another section of the hallway, and saw a painting of an ant.

Hmm... just like the strange, talking ant. I thought to myself.

I approached it. It looked like it could be taken off the wall. I carefully reached up, and took it off the wall. I didn't know for what, but maybe it could come in handy later.

I looked ahead and noticed that there was a big, green door. I tried to open it, but it was locked. I went back down the hallway, careful to avoid the black hands reaching out, and made it safely to the other side.

I saw the ant, who said, "oh. that's my painting. it's just as cool as i remember it." Then it begun to stare at it...

I decided to leave the strange, talking ant... I decided to turn down the right hallway, since the other path was a dead end.

I walked down and passed... you guessed it... more paintings. I neared the end of the hall and saw another big, green door. Thankfully, this one wasn't locked.

I opened it, and saw a big hole in the middle of the floor. I looked at the ant painting... I wonder...

I took a deep breath and placed the ant painting over the hole. It worked as a bridge! I just hope it's sturdy enough to hold me...

I took another deep breath, held my rose tightly, and walked across. As I walked across, I felt something squish beneath my feet.

I looked down...

"Ahhhh!!!" I screamed. The ant in the painting was now just a big, bloody, mess. I had squished the ant in the painting... but how?

I held my rose tighter, and finished crossing. I made it safely across... the ant... not so much...

After I made it to the other side, I saw another door, and went through it. On the other side was another green hallway, with a black, headless statue of a woman on the other side, wearing a red dress. There was also a painting, "Epilogue".

I noticed something on the ground... a green key.

I picked it up.

Suddenly, the headless statue took a step towards me! I jumped back in fear. Then it begun chasing me!!!
