30 minute post #6

Malek stood there entranced by the gaping door. He looked to his left. A brooding pair of eyes ushered him forward. With a one last gulp of fresh air, he entered the dark and descended the stairs. His remaining thought was that there was no turning back.


The Door revealed a set of stairs that were trenched in darkness that seemed to grow the further Malek peered. The man to his left gave him a hollow stare as he gestured him forward. Malek inhaled solemnly and began his descent. No turning back now.


The door swayed open with a rusty creak. It revealed to Malek a sinister scene. A staircase wrapped in black that seemed to go down for miles. He fidgeted with the cusp of his coat. He always did before doing things that he'd be sure to regret. He looked to the stranger on his left. His eyes were somber and face hinted at nothing. He gestured Malek toward the entrance.  With a last glimpse of the outside embedded in his retina, Malek entered.


The sight before him was reminiscent of an 80s mafia flick. You know the ones. A strange box of a shack in the middle of nowhere and inside it was a set of stairs that looked as if it led to some dark abysmal place. Maybe it was hell. Malek could feel the man watching him, as if expecting to just go in. Going in was in fact the last thing Malek wanted to do. But he knew that wasn't an option, not in this situation. So he did what he had to. He ran.what a twist.


He'd been here before. Well, not here here, as in not this location exactly, but Malek has definitely been in a situation like this. It certainly ticks the usual boxes. Taken to the woods in the middle of nowhere. Forced to enter a shack with a staircase that probably leads to hell. A big soulless guy in a suit giving him weird looks. Though there is the absence of a gun being pointed to the back of his head, but other than that, yeah he'd been here before.

"You've gotta be kidding me. In there?!" Malek looked to the Man in a suit. His face was empty but his arm suggested he enter the shack or else.
