The trail wound its way through a chasm, ever contracting. An oppressive stillness settled upon the air, broken only by the distant echoes of a world forgotten. The gleam of day struggled to penetrate the darkening canopy above, casting long figures that danced like phantoms on the forest floor.

• {With each turn, I felt closer|I was trapped in a vortex of glass and shadows|Time itself ceased to exist
• Was that just a trick of the glass?
