The Great Adventure of Aaron Appelapolous

You make a mad rush for the doorway.

"NOT SSSO FASSST" the terrible voice roars in your ear. A bolt of magic catches you in the middle of the back, and you scream out in pain. You writher on the floor like a burning snake while the dark figure watches silently.

In a few moments all that remains of you is a single candle standing upright on the floor. The Evil One strides over, picks you up, lights you with another candle and places you amoung the rest.

Your life ends only when you finally burn out.
