Oh no...
It was sudden,
like an explosion in the distance.
A glissando of metal abruptly emerged from the basement,
I raced to down the creaky old stairs,
Dmm! Dmm! Dmm!
Footsteps loud enough to wake the neighbors from their slumber-
then splash…
Before I knew it, I was trapped in pitch dark, the haunting metallic noise had ceased, and I had foot-fulls of beans.
That is, a whole pool of beans had engulfed my feet.
For moments-
I tried to catch my breath.
Loud explosion? A deathly industrial sound? An ambiguous collection of sloppy beans.
Until some music came on, a very faint and quiet tune.
Mystery filled the basement I once knew into a circus of which I had no clue.
It was some weird folk music, but Michael Jackson was singing it.
Throughout the song was a typewriter in the background of the music.
It was annoying and a stupid addition.
This is kind of wack.

I really wanted to create a fast shift from scary to goofy and absurd.
