CATACOMBS

In the catacomb of Rome people lead tours. One day twelve people went in for a tour. They entered the catacomb the lights were fluctuating and it was very dark. All twelve people including the guide were scared. There were mountains of skull and bones. The catacomb is 2000 kilometers long, the largest in the world. They entered a place and one of them said "i think we are going in circles". The guide said"no we are on track". A girl called Emily got terribly scared. She looked at the guide's face. the guide looked confused as if he did not know where he was.

A unusually big skull from the roof was hanging, the man did not look and got hit on the head by the skull and died. So now there were eleven. Every one was inquisitive of what had recently happened. Everyone's heart was trembling, they all were sinking  in fear, eventually they buried him and went on to get out. They stopped for a break and let the guide remember. A women tried to explore the area and ultimately she got lost and then there were ten. The pressure on the guide was building up on how to get them out. The people started blaming the guide that he brought us here and this is his fault we are lost. One of them disagreed and told everyone that blaming is of no use, we have to find our way out. The guide was extremely worried that the fuel would finish. As they moved forward they saw an astounding design of skulls and bones lined up beautifully and beside it there was daylight coming in from up top, one of them said"this is our way out" and as they turned to look at each other with hope five of them disappeared. They made a run for it and only five escaped from the catacomb.
