Whence Came You?

# A Scary Trip Down Into an Egyptian Tomb You step into the dark opening of an ancient Egyptian burial chamber. The air feels cold and heavy as you move deeper underground. Shadows dance across the stone walls, and you can hear strange sounds echoing all around you. The passage gets narrower and darker the further you go. Your heart beats faster. Old paintings of dead kings stare down at you from the walls. You wonder what dangers might be waiting in the blackness ahead. The ground beneath your feet feels uneven and crumbly. You worry that the whole thing might fall apart. Strange smells fill your nose—dust, decay, and something you can't quite name. It makes you feel sick. As you move forward, you see old traps built into the walls and floor. The ancient Egyptians put these there to keep grave robbers out. You step carefully, trying not to trigger anything dangerous. Finally, you reach the burial chamber. A stone coffin sits in the middle of the room. The walls are covered with pictures and writing. The air feels heavy and wrong, like something is watching you. You feel like you don't belong here, and you want to leave as fast as you can.
