Oh God what am I doing here? I asked myself while I stared at the dark corridor in the temple that took me One hour just to find the entrance and get inside. I cautiously stepped inside and as soon as my body had been completely engulfed by the temple the door sealed behind me in lightning speed.

"NO!" I screamed I slammed myself against the door that was now technically a wall. I tried to open it like I did before but when that didn't work I hammered my fists against it until they were red and almost bleeding. I eventually gave up and sat down and tried to stay calm and analyse the situation. So I'm stuck in some ancient temple that is supposedly haunted AND infested with mummies and the entrance just shut for absolutely no reason. "Great...just great, god what have I got myself into" I spoke aloud trying to draw comfort from the sound of my voice.

Since the only source of light was the sunlight streaming through the entrance I could no longer see anything even my hand that was directly in front of me. Okay first things first find a source of light; I scrambled up and reached for my phone using the flashlight to give me at least some light even if it was pretty dim.

I surveyed my surroundings and I saw a bleach white skeleton lying in a pile of sand I screamed and I stumbled through the corridor into some vast hall. I stuck to the wall though since I had no idea what was in the centre. I felt a sharp pain in my forehead when my head had struck some metal structure that stuck out of the wall.

I howled in pain as I blood flow down my face "Urgh god who's stupid enough to put some sharp metal thing in the wall". I shone light onto it and I saw it was some kind of lantern; I peeked inside it and saw that there was still some fuel inside of it if only I had some way to light it. I slowly shuffled towards the centre when I felt my foot hit some kind of heightened ground I slowly placed some weight on it when it came slamming down and then it was as if the floor had erupted into flames, I jumped back so I wouldn't get scorched by the multiple fire traps that had been triggered.

I saw the vastness of the room now that it was lit by the fire; it was huge with a domed roof and had beautiful decorative walls filled with Hieroglyphics and paintings of ancient Egyptian gods. The fire traps had a sort or spiral pattern and they were mostly in the centre of the room I carefully walked over and I was careful with my footing making sure that I didn't step on any other pressure plates. I saw at the other side of the room was an exit of some sort, I made my way towards it.

Once I was closer I noticed that in the middle of the fire traps there was a plain chest surrounded by fire, of course my curiosity got the better of me and I started to weave my way through the traps determined to see what was in that chest. Once I reached the chest I heaved it open revealing a heap of ancient golden coins and some sort of black and gold statuette that had a striking resemblance to Anubis. I had no where to put them probably should've brought some kind of satchel or bag with food and water 'DAMMIT' okay I just need to find another way out of here and maybe come back another day with a bag or something.

I started to weave my way through the fire and just when I was about to clear the traps I tripped on a stone jutting out of the floor and I was heading straight onto a fire spout. I jerked my body and it grazed all of my right leg and it set my shirt on fire. I screamed out in agony and quickly ran out of the fires way I teared the shirt off and stomped on it until it died down, although of course by that time it had almost reduced to rags I kicked it aside. Good thing I have an undershirt on. I started to walk when I felt searing pain all the way through my right leg. I sat down and had a look at it. It was an angry red and was already starting to blister and welt "URGH why did I wear shorts God dammit" I gasped out kneading my leg as if I was trying to massage the pain out.

"Uhh okay I need to find water or something oh god" I tried to stand but the pain was too overbearing so I had to crawl around the fire to the exit which unlike the hall was still swathed in darkness "Okay I need to get some light, who knows what's in there" I had an idea and I reached up to the wall and I grabbed the lantern on the wall. I pulled on it and pulled on it but it wouldn't budge. I dragged myself up trying to ignore the pain in my leg and I saw that it was welded to the wall there was no chance I could get it off. I moved onto the next one and I saw it was exactly the same as the last. I looked at every single one in desperation and they were all the same. I tried my phone but it was smashed when I fell and it was no use to anyone now. There was no way I'm going in there without some light or else the same thing might happen but worse"

I crawled up to the entrance and had another look at it but it was the same as before, my eyes landed on the skeleton that I saw before and I had an idea. I grabbed the skeleton and I grabbed the femur and pulled with all my force "Sorry" I apologised to this unknown person as I managed to pull the large bone off the skeleton and after that most of it fell into shambles. I then grabbed the rags that used to be my shirt and I wrapped them around one of the ends of the bone and I dipped that end into the fuel from the lanterns. I crawled up to the fire wincing at the heat it gave off before I dipped the tip of my makeshift torch into the flames and I watched as it burst into flames becoming my own transportable light.

I reached the exit and I felt slightly relieved to have my own source of light. The room beyond the hall was quite small with no doors or staircases or anything all there was, was a large, round stone structure that seemed to just rise from the floor I heaved myself onto the rim of it and I saw that it was almost filled to the brim with water. I almost laughed in relief at least there's some kind of water here. I dipped my legs in first and the relief from pain was almost astronomical I placed my torch on the ground beside the structure I submerged my entire body into the water getting some relief from the confining heat of the temple. I rested my head on the surprisingly cool stone of the rim and I floated feeling almost relaxed I decided to have a break before I made any other course of action.
