"Hey. Kid. Wake up."

Bryan groaned as he opened his eyes to find himself laying in a yellow flower bed. In front of him he could see the faint figure of another person. "Who...who are you?"

The figure seemed to hesitate for a moment. "...Goldie. My name is Goldie."

"Goldie? Like Goldielocks?" Bryan joked as he sat up. "What? No! It's just my name!" Goldie responded defensively.

"Yeah yeah, sure. I'm-" Bryan cut himself off, as his vision began to clear.

Goldie was transparent. He seemed to be wearing a striped shirt, and there were tear tracks on his cheeks.

"...I'm Bryan. Are you...a monster?"

Goldie scoffed. "Of course not. I'm a ghost."

"So you're...dead?"

"...Yeah. I...guess I am."

The two of them stood there in silence for a while. Bryan looked down in guilt. He didn't mean to bring up a sensitive subject. Suddenly, Goldie broke the silence.

"We should get moving. After all, the only way out is forward."

"Out?"

"Out of the underground. You know, the mountain? You want to get out, right?

Bryan looked back up. "Um, yeah. I guess we should then."

In front of the pair was a man made-

"Monster made." Corrected Goldie.

"Um, what?"

"This is a monster made tunnel. Not a man made one."

"Were you reading my mind?" Bryan asked accusingly.

"Bryan, it seems my soul has become linked with yours. Thus, I have access to your thoughts. You're probably going to be down here for a while, so get used to it."

"O..kay then."

In front of the pair was a- er, monster made tunnel that ended with a tall purple corridor. Also, apparently monsters are real.

Bryan made his way through the tunnel, with Goldie floating close behind. Soon enough, they reached the corridor.

Bryan sighed in disappointment. "Oh look, another dark room."

However, there was something else in the dark area. Or, someone else.

"Goldie, do you know who that is?"

Goldie didn't respond. In fact, he had just disappeared.

"What the..." Bryan wouldn't get the chance to question it, as the unknown figure spoke first.

"Hi! I'm Baby! Baby the clown!"
