The Haunted Tomb of Madness!
Lara dwelled upon the entrance of the cave she had long journeyed for,
'At last I am here!' thereupon she thought,
However unlike any other tomb she dared entered,
There was a fear she had never felt before,
She stood and froze as she heed her word of warning,
"For those who enter the forbidden tomb, either will not come out or come out they will, but not the same person".
Making her final decision,
Lara boldly and courageously stepped foot,
Into where no single person dared to enter,
Darkness and shadow was filled in Lara,
The hollow walls and the stench
Arise came smoke that clouded her eyes,
To which Lara began to have doubts to what she saw was even real at all.
"HAHAHA!" Came a shroud voice echoing around when she came knee deep in the depths of the tomb,
"I bid thee welcome to another world stranger from the outside, follow me, for I am the poltergeist that resides in these stone walls"
Lara tried to make out the shape of the thing, but cannot for her eyesight was foggy.
"Neither living nor dead am I, no one can touch me"
The voice gestured Lara to tag along,
"To see here takes you to the limitations of your mind and body, will you come and see" It questioned of the guest.
"I will come and witness" Lara told the unknown being.
"Then to you heed to tail the tune I play"
And with that the creature began to play slowly notes sounding from a grand piano of sorts.
Lara obeyed and pursued the piercing music,
To the left it began,
Then swiftly it moved to the right,
Continuously it swayed until it started to grow louder,
For Lara was sheltered with blindness and didn't know where she was heading.
For once Lara was now deep into the abyss of the dreaded tomb,
For no longer could she trust her eyes,
A blanket of despair fell upon her,
As her world began to flash in colours,
The jaws of a wild animal consumed her,
Shadows grabbed her and tried to tear her apart,
For what was just a simple mind trick of old,
Soon it began to eat at her body,
All she had to depend on was her ears.
It all became worse,
All seemed to be crumbling away in Lara's world,
Was this reality or nightmare?
She drew her pistols out ready to fight,
But she heard a foul shriek saying,
"It is useless to fight us, we are sprits"
For in that instance, Lara did not feel in control of her own body,
She felt herself withdrawing her pistols and moving on.
She was frightened of what was going to happen to her.
However Lara did not cower away,
For bravely she carried on the journey,
No matter to how much pain she was in,
She had the strong will to go onward,
To which surprised the beast within.
As Lara's heartbeat continued to rise in pulse,
So did the tempo of the creepy playing grand piano,
Forever did it seem to play the same tune over and over again repeatedly,
As Lara's world turned evermore upside down,
Vivid visions beyond what the human mind can cope,
But Lara stayed out to the end,
Though hanging by a needle of a thread,
The ghost looked at her in amazement,
"I have never seen such living being endure so much torment, for your reward you may leave, but heave word, for if you come back into these tombs, forever you will be cursed upon, understand?"
"Yes" Lara answered and with that she was led to the exit.
For after the events that occurred in the haunted tomb,
Lara said no more about it and kept her promise,
That dark powerful chord piano medley would stay with her forever,
Henceforth no sound was made from the tomb that wanted to remain concealed from any contact.
