I approached the big stone door
encrypted messages line the massive behemoth
It felt so, so cold
I put the gold key in the ancient lock
I turned the key, the tumblers turned
I was hit with a rush of smells
the worst was the fowl odor of death
Rotten skeletons layered the stone chasm
Then I hit the floor hard and fainted
