Oh Hell!
You drop the guitar and hightail it back to the tunnel’s entrance…
BUT as you step backwards, a trapdoor opens.
You land with a thud AND you’re in a room now that is like a vault.
There are a thousand music boxes.
You hear the horrid cacophony of sound playing the tunes of Phil Collins, Ed Sheeran, and death metal – all at once.
You realise you’ve made a…
Very Bad Choice
It’s the worst sound you’ve ever heard.
The voice in your head played you like a fiddle. You collapse to your knees, the chaos of noise pressing down on you.
…But just as you’re about to surrender to the madness, a second wind hits you…
You shake off the weird musical spell, fuelled by a newfound determination
Powering back to your feet, you take off your B string and you use it to pick the door’s lock.
You leave the strange room and head towards the other tunnel, ready to face the challenge head-on.
The dissonant noise fades into the distance behind you.
“The path ahead may be daunting, but I’m not giving in that easily,” you mutter, steeling yourself for what lies ahead.
