Chapter 3
They weren't. The lights flickered again, and all power was lost. I began to get scared. Where did everyone go? What's happening? I decided to look out the window to see what's going on. I gasped and moved back quickly as a blood red liquid poured down the glass. I began to hear footsteps so I ran to the exit.
It was locked. I was trapped in the museum.
I headed up from the entrance. Looking at the other window, I saw a person pass by! I tried to find a way out, but could not. As I walked away, someone banged on the glass. I ran away as fast as I could, my heart pounding in my chest.
As I ran, I saw the painting of the fruit. It... fell from its frame. I don't know how, but it splattered onto the floor like a real fruit. I was getting freaked out.
I came upon the cat painting the mother and daughter were looking at before. "Meow!" ...Did the cat really just meow at me? I kept running.
I was back at the large painting of "? World." There was something different about it, though. Some blue paint was dripping out from under it. As I observed it, dripping sounds splashed the floor behind me and I turned around to see that it wrote out, "COME IB." I turned back to the blue paint to see a small message, "come down below ib ill show you someplace secret."
At this point, I was beyond frightened. I was terrified. Who was this person? I was scared, but at least I'd find company.
I returned to the main entrance and headed straight. I decided to walk around more to see if there was anyone here. I heard a cough. Could it be? A person? I looked but saw no one. Was it possible... It was "The Coughing Man"? I shuddered and ran back.
At the giant fish, I noticed a set of blue footprints. They were... leading into the painting? I decided to follow it into the deep.
