I walked towards the infamous factory, as I was nearing the factory, the chattering of the night creatures grew louder, and I entered the factory. The indoors of the factory was dusty, and large, there were some rusted machinery in the plant, along with some rusted container of gasoline. I looked at the lofty ceiling, which was engulfed by sticky cobwebs, while some were hanging like strands. I could hear the chattering of the bats, as they were moving overhead escaping from the windows on the walls, at a great height. The streetlight coming from the highway pierced through the window, which provided visibility, I moved around, and saw a stairs connecting to upper side of the factory. I climbed the staircase, and saw a passage which had many rooms; there were the rooms of the managers of the factory, the passage also served as a lookout over.
As I moved ahead there was an unusual door, which stood tall, and it didn't have any particles of dust on it. The door was clean, it was shiny and polished, and I hold and rotated the knob of the door.
This was the turning point of my life.
The room was large and elegant, at the right there was a large sofa, at the opposite of the door there was large overstuffed chair, and behind it there was a square-shaped window. I swirled to step out of the room, and I heard a dusky voice, "Where are you going?" I was stunned, and turned back, there was a man sitting on the overstuffed chair, he was dressed in black shirt and trousers, and a black trench coat covering his body, he was tall, and had a pale skin, his hairs was slick, turning backwards. The man's arms were resting on the arms of the chair, and he has tapping his finger at the end of the arms of chair, I uttered, "My apologies, me and my friends were just horsing around this area." He asked, "Don't you know that this area is restricted? And I am the owner of this plant."
I replied, "I am sorry sir, I didn't know about it. I am sorry again for the inconvenience caused to you, I shall leave." I was about to move, and then he said, "Your bet is not over yet." I was perplexed and gazed at him, the man continued, "I am aware, you have placed a bet to stay here for fifteen minutes". I looked at his sombre face, he contracted his forehead, and his eyes seemed like burning coal. I replied, "I think, I need to go, Good Night Sir." I darted out of the room, as I looked at the watch, and I need to complete five more minutes to win the bet. I stepped down the stairs.
I was trapped in a maze of illusions.
