Unlike the scenery seen when he landed, the rows and rows of white buildings went on and on till he could see no more.

I'll be on my way." It had seem that this tea time was rather, ineluctable. The fire crackled and hissed, well-fed of slanderous and twisted news from the newspaper. It shall be ashes to ashes, died in it's burden. Carefully, I tighten the pearly white gloves around my wrist. I left my room, and made way down the sleepy corridor, where it seemed to be lifeless and dreadful, paintings and portraits hung over my head, staring down at me. I ignored it.

Some were on the wall, spitting at us while some others were on foot, walking around. Majority of them were purple and had huge, black eyes that felt like they stared straight into my soul. The monsters on foot were all different heights. “What are those things?” Ludwig asked me, looking disgusted by everything in the…
