You decide to climb up the stair case.  The very first step crumbles out from under you, 
but you are desperate to get out of this freakish place that you are in, and you go on.  The 
stairs wind upwards in a spiral, but soon come to a dead end.  You stand there, looking around 
and wondering what to do, when you hear hurried footsteps rushing towards you.  The sound of the 
steps is something of a dry, scratch, THUMP!, scratch, THUMP!  Remembering the bloodied head you 
saw downstairs, you cringe to think of what might be coming for you.  Your heart begins to beat 
faster and faster in your chest as you frantically search for a way of escape.  The seconds seem 
to drag on forever, yet before you know it, you can see a hulking, spiked shadow growing bigger 
and bigger on the wall behind you.  Never being much of the hero type, you sit as far back in
the corner as you can get and draw your knees up to your chest, hoping beyond all hope that what-
ever it is is friendly.
