Adventure

The Girl Under the Stairs
She had been there for as long as I could remember. Her hair golden, and a mousy little face, always around always in the background looking in - never really part of things but there, nonetheless. Her name had been Gretchen, I think. That is what I called her, but I guess I never really knew if that was her real name.

Descent: Part Nine. Content Warning.
Around us, the inky darkness muttered. Grinding choking sounds, like sharp stones being scrapped across glass, crept out of the shadows beyond the flare of my flashlight to wrap around my brain.
