The Tunnel Part I

“Let’s see, take a right.”  I took a right and I found the x on the map I found in my car.  “What’s this?” I asked myself.  “It’s a door!”  I opened the door.  It was an old mining shaft.  “Wow.  That was lame,”  I said.  Then I saw something sparkle.  It was gold. I ran toward it.  It kept getting farther and farther away.  Then the gold disappeared.  I kept walking through the tunnel.  Eventually I called it quits and laid down. 

I was walking through the tunnel, then I see something.  It’s a, it’s a . . . a motel!  I think I am going nuts.  Then I walk in.  It’s a SNAKE motel. It has snakes everywhere.  I think now I am officially insane.  “AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!” 

I woke up.  It was a dream.  I’m still in the tunnel.  I get up and continue walking.  The tunnel is getting dark.  I ask my dragon to light my stick.  (I just grabbed it), so I could see.  After about three hours of walking, I found an old man.

He said, “He’s a comin’.  He’ll kill us all.”  He looked at me and said, “Ya know, ya better git outta’ here.  My name is Bob, but everyone calls me Gold Crazy Bob.” 

When he said this, I thought this guy is crazy.  I said to Bob, “Come with me.”

He said, “Sure.”

After about three more hours, a flame sword stabbed through Bob and killed him.  I turned and saw nothing, then my dragon blew out the light.  In front of us stood a black knight with a nametag saying Shadow Knight. 

I screamed and my dragon and I run.  I jump on the dragon’s back and we run until we can’t see him.
