The Dark Tunnel

The song starts off “ Love of mine, some day you will do, but I’ll be close behind. I will follow you into the dark.

Crumbs of soil rained into the tunnel, and bits of grass loomed over the sides of the square opening. I peered down, noticing a short ladder which led to the floor of the tunnel. “What was down there?” I asked, amazed. “It’s scary,” Cecelia proclaimed, hand still tied to mine. “Why, what happened?” “The door closed and I thought I wouldn’t get out – I couldn’t see anything.” “Do you want to go down again?” I positioned myself so my feet were dangling into the tunnel. “Promise we’ll be safe?”…

the tunnel. The way it was painted in the colors they used made it very realistic. There's also sort of minimalism to it that was great because it kind of showed that you don't need to represent every single object in the play, you can use things to stand-in for other things.
