King Of The Ladder: The Shattered Dimension (by Leo)

Because htp and I trust each other and have a covert bond

I crawl as fast as I can looking for a turn.

It’s not really covert if you tell everyone...

Anyways! There’s a basement, right? I go there. 

I like fancy words and besides, I was meaning covalent not covert sorry

Oh. Ok then. That is true. Here, have some electrons.

Captain proton away! XD

The thumping is following you and is right outside. You take a left turn and go up and incline and the thumping is still there even more aggressive.

Indeed. There are three doors two are open one has the pressure gauges and the unattached water heater and one has an opening to vent the system which auk is already in. Only one may escape this route so you must catch up with him if you wish to choose that route.

I keep crawling trying to go as quick as possible.

The vent collapses and you get dumped out in the hallway of the second floor..

What are my surroundings?

I go to the window and try and open it.

However when you reach the window you realize you’re back where you originally started in this hallway 

LEO COME ON! Be nice to auk

I turn around.

This is being nice! There are other horrors that awaited in the vents 

You see a painting of a forest a short way down the hall

I go there.
