"What's that weird spot on the wall?", my friend asked me."I don't know", I responded. We walked over to the odd rectangle shaped area on the wall. I pushed my hand up against it and it gaveway revealing a staircase that led down into the darkness. I ran over to the other end of the basement to retrieve some flashlights. As we entered the mysterious stairwell I noticed that there was no light switch to turn the light on or off but in fact the lights were already on. Odd I thought, but just shrugged it off. It seemed like forever before we got to the bottom of the stairs. At the bottom there was a long narrow hallway. I tried to avoid scraping my shoulders on the stone walls but it was no use. I walked until my feet hurt. My arms and shoulder were bleeding and they stung like heck but we kept going. I finally got to the end of the hallway and there was a door that looked like it had been once painted blue but it was now very faded. I slowly opened the door to see the back of a man. We ran as fast as posible to the basement where we boarded up the door and never said a word about it ever again.
