The passage
The sun was going to explode, no one could deny it.
But what if, what if somehow, someway, we could save our world. What if there was a passage to the outside.
A place away from this world.
A black hole.
Electrical currents pulsing through, it stands with a wooden door and a torch held by a torch holder clipped to the wall.
It seems so innocent, too innocent.
But when you walk in, the electrical currents pulse through your body and eat you up. As if you were food to them.
And you are food to them.
We are slaves to the electrical currents. They rule our every move.
But what if there was a way to turn these currents off. So that we could get to the other side.
Doubtful, but worth a shot.
The world's gonna end anyway.
The girl ran frightened, from the monster running after her. Waiting to capture her into his arms and take her soul. She had to get to the door. The wooden door.
She ran up staircases, ran left, ran to the right, ran downstairs. Finally she had reached it. The passage.
Carefully she approached the torch. The torch that could either make it or break it. For everyone.
She pulled the torch out of its holder and burned the door.
The torch grew stronger as the wooden door disintegrated.
She threw the torch into the currents. As far as she could.
Slowly, but surely, the electrical currents ceased.
How could this be.. she mused. It actually worked.
Abruptly, she heard a growl. The monster had nearly approached her.
She had to run. She had to leave.
She took a deep breath and stepped into the black hole.
And the world was gone.
Vivian awoke, breathing heavily.
She knew what she had to do.
She knew what she was going to do.
She needed to get to the passage.
