Hey, sorry about the break but I was distracted... for a long time... on numerous occations... often... but I'm doing the next part now so thank you everyone who was patient!

A slight sound tapped rhythmically at the other end of the room. All of a sudden, it became faster. Not until about a minute later did Perry realize that it was the echoing of his heartbeat thumping against his chest. Perry approaches the pedestal at the end of the room slyly, trying not to disturb the things he could only imagine to be in that enclosed room with him.

Perry slowly feels his way to a nearby bookcase and peers around it. He sees but another stained glass window at the far end. He peeks nehind himself and spots one more window in the distance. Perry could only imagine that there is another window above the doorway in which he entered into this room.

Perry starts toward the pedastal with the book, peeking around every bookcase before passing by. As he approaches the stand, he feels a slight breeze squeezing through the tiny opening in the window above. Perry reaches for the book but stops himself. He notices a book laying open in the corner of the room.

He hesitates for a moment but comes to this conclusion: "If my hunch is correct, taking the book on the pedestal will probably be a trap, while the one in the corner is probably the one that is a kay or clue to getting out of here or whatever you want to think."

Perry lowers his arm and walks calmly but nerve rackingly towards the book in the corner. Perry sees a spiderweb in front of him stretching from the window to the book upon the pedestal and ducks under it. He picks up the book and quickly looks around. Nothing appears to have happened so he reverts his attention back to the book. He clichedly blows all of the dust off of the front cover of the book. He notices that there is no title or anything. He opens it up and a cloud of dust pops up to greet him. He coughs up some dust and swats at the particles in the air. He looks back at the book to find that there is no writing inside either.

Perry closes the book and turns around. He walks forward and steps right into the spiderweb he had dodged earlier. The spider web is denser than he had imagined. It yanks the book from the pedestal off its stand and onto the floor. All of a sudden, Perry sees iron bars reveal themselves in front of the windows, preventing any form of escape through them. Perry looks down at the spiderweb only to notice that it's not a spiderweb ata all. It was just cleverly weaved pieces of string strung together.

Perry starts toward the other side of the room hoping to find something of use there, but to no avail. He turns around and looks up at the window he had just been standing by and catches a glimpse of a shadow or silhouette if you will pass by. Perry holds the book out in front of him wrapping his arms around it using it as a shield.

Perry looks up to see that another book has appeared on the pedestal he is now next to. He looks down at the book in his hands and back up at the stand. He gets the idea that he has to swap the book for the other one. Perry hears another noise coming from above. He looks up and sees that the ceiling is now lowering at an alarming rate. He quickly switches the two books and looks at the other end of the room. Another pedestal has appeared. But this time, Perry has alot of ground to cover before he gets to the third and hopefully last pedestal.

Perry starts running for the stand when a brutal force pushes through the books resting on the nearby bookcase onto Perry. He drops the book he was holding and falls to the ground. He gets back up and looks around for his book. He sees the one with no writing on it and picks it up. He starts running again put slips on an open book in his way. He looks back at it and to his surprise, it is blank. He looks back down at his book and reaches for another. He opens it up to reveal nothing inside. He sighs and tries to grab as many as he can.

He runs with them all the way to the other side of the room and drops them near the pedestal. He places one book on the stand but apparently it was the wrong one for part of the floor breaks away and falls into what seems to be a bottomless pit. Perry's eyes widen as he tries more books. With each one he places on the stand the less room he has to work with. He remembers that the ceiling is also lowering as well and tries to be even quicker. As he is down to the last few books, the shadow of the man thrusts the book out of Perry's hands. It once again in a cliched manner falls down and lands on a narrow stone pillar previously hidden beneath the floor.

Perry, in several swift moves, jumps down and retrieves the book from its resting place. He hops back up and places the book on the pedestal... but it's the wrong one! He frantically tries the other books but as he places the last one on the stand, he finds that none of them are the right one. He looks back over to the other side of the room and notices one more book laying on the floor. Perry looks at what is left of the floor and crumbles to his knees. There is no way he could get across there in time. He looks back up at the ceiling, just five feet away from him, and cries.

It is at this moment that Perry comes to a very much needed recollection of his thoughts. "What did that owl say before, 'Evasion?' What do these books have to do with anything? This isn't evasion... THIS IS!"

Perry quickly gets up and starts running for the hole in the floor. He slides underneath aiming for the stone structure in the middle. His hat flies off and lands on the edge of the floorboards. He, once again a cliche, reaches back and grabs his hat with half a second to spare before the ceiling reaches the bottom. Perry looks around and the floor around him rises from the pit below. Torches appear hanging on the wall and light themselves as they show the way to a wooden door at the end of the cave.

It is damp down there and Perry is happy to still be alive. He walks toward the door and slowly presses upon it, opening it slightly. He peeks through the presently ajar door and notices a ray of light resembling a circle in the sky. He opens it just a bit farther and sees grass on the ground and trees, birds flying through the air, and a stream not to far away.

From out of nowhere, Perry hears the booming voice of the owl again, "Good job, very good indeed. I'm impressed you got past my first challenge. But you'll never succeed now! Task Two: Deception! Be off with you!"

Perry looks around and smiles, happy to be out of that dark room and that he can finally see again.

This, is Perry All Alone, except for the few birds and bess flying around him... and, no. Not those birds and bees.

Hey guys I hope you all liked it. Again, sorry for such a long break but, sometimes that's how it's gotta be. Thanks for reading and stay tuned!
