I tried to free myself. I began screaming at the top of my lungs! No one could hear me.
|
Then suddenly, just as I thought I was going to suffocate in the earth, I spilled out falling from the ceiling of a huge room. I must have fallen thirty feet into a pile of soft dirt. I looked around, shocked and unsure of where I was.
|
My mind was reeling as I looked around at what appeared to be a deep cellar. Questions pounded my weary brain. My half-face, the woman creature up above..was all this something to do with the secret of Norman Woods?
|
I could barely see up to the ceiling I had just fallen through and I wasn't sure but I thought I could see the roots of trees twisting and intertwining like snakes on the ceiling. I stood slowly dusting myself off and looking around taking in my surroundings.
|
My very bones felt wretched and I now could imagine how a newborn felt being squeezed into the world. But what world had I been born into? I surmised that somehow I was underneath that mammoth tree I had followed Liza to.
|
It was pitch black and I slowly felt my way around the room, trying not to trip over something and hoping I wasn't going to run into the headless horseman from Sleepy Hollow.
|
I began to see a small glow ahead of me. I stopped, I started to hear a moan. I began to turn back when I heard another sound.
|
It was music! And what I thought was a moan, was gentle singing. It was coming from the area of the small glow.
|
I was drawn toward the direction from where the music was coming from. I felt tired.
|
I could feel myself walking towards the glow, yet, I felt like something was calling me to the glow. Was I being hypnotized?
