escape from death

The cave-like tunnel evolves slowly as you walk through it. The rough stones you tread on becomes red velvet carpet. The gray rock walls become tall tan ones ajourned with posters of concerts and plays in golden frames. As you continue walking, you see the large room at the end of the path. You run towards it until you are standing at the room’s border.
Long aisles of red velvet seats stretch towards a stage about the size of your entire house. All around the stage are swirly, golden carvings of angels and vines. On the stage’s corners, red curtains drape towards the floor. The ceiling contains a mural of the sky, dotted with clouds and the sun in the center, and above you is a balcony with more seating and golden decorations. The most eye catching thing in the theater, though, is the door on the stage.

It sits center stage. It shimmers gold in the lights of the theater, and its handle is encrusted with emeralds and diamonds. The door wasn’t attached to anything, which you found peculiar, but you had a hunch, so you walked towards it with purpose. You bounce up the stage’s stairs, turn the bejeweled handle, and step through the door.
