This liquid-like moon is artificial enough to splash through the cracks in the floor,
and that mocking smile is just enough to hurry the others away.
When you drop out the window and spread the sheet music, it becomes your wings to help you fly.
The notes croon on the wind and the two clefs craaash together as a pair.
You fall towards the ground and pass right through it.
Such an encounter you've never felt before, but the moment was as exhilarating as the rush of magic.
You come to a stop beneath the ground and can hear the people above.
Fireflies swarm about in this box and they light the walls surrounding you.
You howl to the people up above your head to liberate you, but no one hears.
Their footsteps echo in the closed room, like a stampede of presences.
The air is still, yet you feel a stir, and then your lungs draw close.
A knife appears and whizzes by your face, so you jump away.
Everywhere is arms erupting from the wall, straining towards you.
Their fingers just barely graze your face, each towering over your head.
You settle to your knees, so they can not grab a hold of you.
Searching, you look around for an exit, an escape, a door.
You know this room is different from the previous ones.
Wooden furniture line the walls, and they are clouded with photographs of many people.
The arms are now receding into the wall, and you study the pictures more carefully.
Dust lines their surfaces, and they are untouched, but every person is not looking at you.
You circle the room, at every angle and slant, but still the eyes do not follow you, notice you.
You wail, hurling a pillow at the bookcase in the back corner.
Books fly to the floor upon impact, and their pages whistle like screams.
When they come to a strike on the solid ground, and fall open,
the insides are blank.
Blinking, you pluck up the book, and close it, fingering the rough spine.
You try to make out the title, and look closely in the lackluster light.
Your eyes widen, and your handclasp on the book is released, but gravity does not take its toll.
Each book flies up around you, and scurries through the ceiling.
Each book has the same title, and the letters that weren't there before are now on the papers.
All those letters fall off the pages, and tumble around you.
You stagger back against the wall in terror, and bend down.
You pick up the letter-pieces, place them together, and read your name aloud.
