Falling, tumbling along the cement and rock surface of the staircase. Groans of pain escaped her lips as her tossed body finally landed on the bitter cold floor. Lifting her head slightly shaking it before her eyes would open. Wait…They were all ready open. Why was it so dark? Hands moved and touched the ground, the cold feeling of the floor sent shock waves through the body. Finding little memories trapped within these steps, screams of men and laughter of others. This made it very confusing to figure out from touch where she had gotten herself into.
Moments went by as she just sat in the depth of darkness, searching around her for a stable grip to pull herself up from. Finding a stair railing, oh great, just the thing she could have used to save herself from bruises and perhaps a sprained wrist within the ordeal. For a moment her head spun, the voices returning and swamping her thoughts. Hands reached down across the body, searching for her matches. In Romania, the darkness came all too quickly and she found herself always using matches to find her way through. Finding the box of matches, pulling them from her jacket pocket and lighting one up. She would scream slightly before her hand fell over her mouth, hiding the scream forever. ‘’Where am I….’’ The darkness was not only confusing and for brooding but the layout of the room she had fallen into seemed to be a prison. Something to keep people from escaping. This confused her, finding herself moving forward without any motivation to actually go further into this darkness.
‘’Merisa-Anne Labelle, what did you fall into this time…’’ She spoke of course to herself, but the empty hallow of the room would echo and frighten her just slightly more. Soft voices spoke in the back of her head ‘Help’ was something she caught very often in this room. The match burned down to her fingers, making her wince in pain before she would light another before taking another step. Her head would turn and she found bars that went from ceiling to floor and her heart would drop. This is where her voices followed her from, she was expecting something easier to handle. Not a dungeon filled with death and… What was that awful stench?
Shaking it off she pressed her hands into the bars, reaching the match into the dungeon before groaning from the sight of decaying rats and not kept rooms. The stench of stale water filled her senses as she could taste the bitterness within these walls. She would move further into the darkness, finding herself now more intrigued by the hidden secrets.
