I feel something nibbling on my ear, what is that?
My eyes open slowly.
I look to my right whilst laying down, it was a hairy creature with black eyes resembling dots, scurrying away with other of those things.
I slowly get up and rub my eyes.
Looking ahead of me, it was an endless aisle of decayed buildings, with no sign of other
life.
I turn my head around, to see the sight of a funnel shaped structure, it towered over all the other structures on the side.
Could that be the top?
To think i was there moments ago, until my sister, Ariel, considered to be the most intelligent female on the planet, kicked me down to the bottom, her last words being:
"You know too much."
I don't remember a thing, but why would my own sister betray me like this?
I was lost in so many questions, I needed at least one answer.
Walking across this muddy street. There was nothing but those creatures roaming around.
However, some of those windows on the buildings are dimly lit.
So there must be at least some person down here.
I continue moving forward towards the funnel shaped structure, on the sides where the buildings were I could hear chatter, I listen to the chatter, it was almost indistinguishable, like if their tongues were tied together.
I grab a piece of debris and chuck it at the window.
To my surprise, they acknowledged the bang and opened their window.
I look at their face.
It was a horrifying sight.
He was unable to look straight, his hair was so long it looked as if it could touch the floor,
His beard was a mess, his face contained spots everywhere.
"Where do I go to reach the top." Projecting my voice.
Silence took place, was he trying to decipher what i have just said?
15 seconds passed. I got a non-verbal response, he pointed towards the funnel.
Did he know what i just actually asked?
I ask him another question
"What is your name?"
No response, he shuts his window.
he knew that is what people would ask him while being unable to understand it. Do people get chucked down here like I did?
Step by step, approaching closer, the mud path turns into a gravel path.
I squint my eyes to see what is at the bottom of this funnel and it appears to be some sort of keypad.
The gravel road becomes a fine concrete path as I march closer.
It looks like an elevator, and a keypad next to it.
The keypad displays:
