Your back hit the cold stone at the bottom of the spire, producing an echo down the hallway. A candle in the distance flickered. Another flicker, from a  closer candle. A trick of the eyes?

Shadows crept closer, or was that the wind shifting the flame of candles. Your primal instincts screamed the longer you sat there motionless, nothing staring back at you.
