ESCAPE
back
You turn and run to the hallway, that bright light coming closer like a lure. An odd silhouette begins to appear in the middle of the unnatural light - short, about as short as... something. You slow a bit, trying to focus your eyes. A little fuzzy fellow looks up at you in surprise as you pass, their grey and white face's features partially eroded in a strange display almost like the ghost you'd seen earlier. You look at them in pity as you realize they're half dead. For some reason they return the look.
Noticing your hurry, the little creature just nods you on, an odd sadness in their eyes. "Good luck."
Your gait has slowed from your earlier run as you enter the lit room. It may have been the entrance to a public washroom once - an exit from the Necropolis is wide open near the back, with a door to the toilets beside it. This room just has sinks and mirrors. Something catches your attention out of the corner of your eye, and you begin to turn despite yourself.
You slowly approach a mirror, legs shambling and numb. You grasp the sink in front of you, unable to place your emotions. You try to look yourself in the eye, and you can't.
