Chapter 1 The Dream
My name is Allen Thomas, just a normal person living in an equally normal world, or at least I thought I was.I was standing in the middle of an ally, red brick walls were to my left and right and from behind me was a dead end. The sun illuminated the scenery around me with a sickly and unsettling grey light from behind overcast skies. I don't know how I got there… My gut told me not to go any further, but their was only one why to go. I started down the path, not knowing what was ahead.
I walked for what seemed like hours passing only endless amounts of bricks. When I reached the end of my awkward stroll down the absurdly long ally I found my self standing in front of two large doors. With little effort I managed to open the large doors reveling an empty warehouse like room. The wave of stench that flowed out, told me that this room had not been opened in years.
"Allen". A strange almost child like voice called from inside the darkness beckoning me closer . I could fell my legs moving on their on into the nothingness, toward the voice. I tried to regain control to run away or to do anything, but the more I struggled the faster I went. I was sure it was to my death. Suddenly the doors behind me slammed shut and left me surround by the pitch black emptiness. My legs came to a stop in the center of the room ,but no matter how hard I tried I still couldn't move them. From every direction came maniacal laughter followed by silence then words in a language I couldn't understand. The more I stood there, the louder it became.
Suddenly hundreds of revolting rotting arms sprouted from the ground around me. I felt a pair of hands grab my ankles as I finally regained control of my legs. My balance was quickly off centered and tumbled into the sea of groping hands. I could do nothing but scream as I was consumed by the abyss.
