GATEWAY

MERHABA MY FRIENDS

Over night a soft layer of snow had covered the downs,
no trace of the Tomb could be seen, a cold chill was in the air.

The old trader wandered down the slippery path leading to the
Gateway that lead to the downs, in his mind, he was putting
the finishing touch to his plan, he cursed the wintry weather.

The young thief closed the chest, with trembling hands he laid
it on the chamber floor. The onlooker who had taken the lantern,
started to move around the chamber, exposing the dark recesses.
"look" he said, in a trembling voice, some one has been here before.
They all looked in his direction, the lantern light exposed the human
skeletons. six in all, some had been there quite a while. two where
resent deaths, still clothed, laying in a ghoulish manner, mouths
ajar, as if they had been cut off in mid sentence.
The young men glanced from corpse to corpse, nervously exchanging
glances at each other, their minds running riot with explanations for
what lay in front of them. "we should leave this evil place at once"
said the onlooker, as he moved the lantern over the remaining feature
of the recently dead man. "i know this man" he said, in a low whispering
tone. "i believed he left the village, condemned as a thief." "It appears
that was not the truth" the other remarked. A scrapping noise from
along the passage,
that was heard a short while ago, made both the young thieves suddenly
afraid. "We had best be getting back to the entrance" one thief said.
The lantern light began to violently flicker, causing panic amongst the
boys, they began to move quickly towards the entrance of the Tomb.
The light went out before they reached the end. The screams would not
be heard, the young men realized their fate, the air in the chamber was
running OUT.
