The route wound its way through a gorge, ever narrowing. An oppressive hush settled upon the air, broken only by the distant reverberations of a world long gone. The sunlight struggled to penetrate the thickening canopy above, casting long figures that danced like phantoms on the earth below.

• This place

Every reflection was shattered, making it hard to separate reality from illusion. Was I being chased something, or was it chasing me?

• Eerie whispers seemed to emanate from the walls themselves
• {With each turn, I felt uncertain|I was trapped in a web of glass and shadows|Time itself ceased to exist
• Did I glimpse a pale face?
