Horrified by the deformed creatures, Linda slipped and lost
her hold on the slimy rocks. She began to free fall through space…down
into the nether reaches of End House. Flashing through her mind were
disturbing images of the creatures living beneath the house. Were they
somehow related to the creatures that drifted through town? Would she
become one of them once she reached the bottom of the tunnel? Was there
even a bottom to the tunnel? Would she continue falling forever? How…
Todd’s booming
voice interrupted her wild jumble of thoughts. Into the deep unyielding
silence, Todd had yelled out, “Stop!” The tunnel obeyed his order and
transformed itself back into stairs with the evil creatures retreating
to wherever they’d come from.
They were standing once again on top of the sweeping staircase. This time they made it all the way down.
