Se Cai
was still brooding fro down but he knew he had to keep his eyes
on the prize
The
co, he didn’t believe it only had one entrance
Unexpectedly,
after he buttered up the building er to
reveal to hi’s back stairwell!
The
steel door creaked heavily as it opened into a gaping maw
It was
obvious that staircase didn’t see regular use The air inside was stale and it
reeked of mildew

around his neck started to feel like a dumbbell
“damn,
I ht have overestimated myself…”
