You groan as a cool breeze sweeps past you. You open your eyes. It's dark; the only light comes from a small lantern beside you. You reach out to grab it and pull your arm back as a jabbing pain shoots up your spine. Your head aches. As you lay still, on the ground, your eyes sweep across the room taking everything in. beneath you is a cold stone floor. On the walls: strange symbols telling stories of long ago. You seem to be in inside of an ancient ruin—maybe like a pyramid or a temple.
How did I come to be in such a place? Your mind is blank as if there is an invisible barrier between you and what you know. You lie motionless; silent. The only sign that you're still alive is the steady rise and fall of your chest. You rest there for a long time, losing all sense of time.
You open your eyes one more and gather your strength, hoping wistfully that your pain will have disappeared. Pulling yourself to your feet, you sigh with both annoyance and relief: the pain is still there but it's easier to handle. Trying to ignore it, you pick up the lantern at your feet. A gentle wind streams past you once again. This time you turn around to see where it's coming from. To your surprise, the only thing you see behind you is a solid brick wall—or maybe not so solid. While examining it more closely, you notice that, in one area, there is a small space between the wall and the floor. You gently slide you fingers in the gap and tug with the intension of pulling the stones free. Your attempts are in vain. You cry out in frustration and strike the wall with your closed fist. You recoil as pain once again pulses through your body. Why has this happened to me?
You close your eyes and fall forward, expecting to hit the wall. Instead a sickly feeling consumes you as you continue falling past the place where you had intended to stop. You barely have enough time to reach your arms out in front of you before you hit the floor. You slowly drag your aching body to a corner of the room. You lean your head back and close your eyes.
