The Mysterious Step

His heart pounded in his chest, he stared up the stairs with wide eyes, his camera held in a death grip. Blood came dripping down the steps as he found himself unable to move.

"This is the step that has taken so lives," Todd muttered as he stared down at it, noticing the blood that trickled past, "Where is all this blood is coming from."

Trying his best to keep calm Todd lifted his camera to take a photo of the innocent looking step only to cry of shock as two large purple hands came up from the step. Quickly Todd began to snap pictures trying to gain several good photo's only for the hands to shot out from the step like a Pokémon's vine whip and grabbed hold of his ankles.

Before Todd had time to react he was being dragged through the step, leaving only his camera behind.

The End.
