Paintings on the Walls

Day 5.

Oh.

Oh gosh.

That

Room.


There’s.


I.

I don’t even want to say it.

I don’t wanna think about what was in there.

I locked the door.

And I’m not going back in.

Ever.


I’m back in the hallway again. I don’t want to be, I want to go back to the safety of my room. But I have to try that other door. I have to know if what’s behind it is anywhere near as horrid as what was behind the first. I walk over to the door that has the handle matching the other key I found, now two doors to the right of the room I was hiding in. I slip the key into the lock and turn and it clicks. I try to turn the doorknob and-

Nothing.

Nothing? 

Wait, but the other one worked.

The other door opened, so why--

Wait.

Maybe I don’t want to know.

If what's behind this door is a repeat of the other one--

Maybe it’s best to leave it closed.

.

I’ll hold onto this key for later. Maybe I’ll need it. For now I need to keep exploring, see how much else I can find. See if there are any other keys or clues on how to get out of here, other than...

Whatever was in that room.

Any solution but that.

Any

Solution

But

That.
