Can I come live with you?
If you can make it through the labyrinth filled with fog machines, strobe lights, and swinging sickles at neck height, yes
I shall enter the lair.
You encounter a black cat just inside the entrance to the labyrinth
I pat the cat on the head and tell it “boo”. It pees on my foot and I move toward the red and orange lights, slightly sweating as the room has a comforting stench and warmth.
The cat jumps up the side of the jagged rock wall and sits on a stone that slowly depresses. As it does, the lights go out. Its now pitch black.
You can hear the meows of the cat fade behind you, and the slow drip-drip of falling liquid in front of you.
The liquid somehow lands on my lip and in reflex, I taste it. But I immediately spit it out as the acidity was like minty battery acid evil. I freeze with no where to move, but I am able to look up.
