I grimace before pulling myself to the crate after being hit by something in the water, wait, was that water there before. Is this a hallucination, a memory? I look in the bottom of my lantern, half of the tank of oil is left. Carefully I jump from my crate to the next, and the next and the next, before coming to a gate, I pull impotently on it from my space on the pile of crates next to it. Blast, I look around mindful of where I had seen the thing stop, trying to find the mechanism. No it doesn't appear to be on the walls. Codswallop. I make my way back, entering a library in hopes of finding it there as the library was the closet to the door. Fppt, oh damnit all, my lantern ceases to be lit as I jump out of the library room. I hit the water the sploshing that occurs is profoundly loud, I make a scramble to reach the crate I know is outside of the library, but the darkness is too thick, as I manage to grope the box and pull myself up onto it, the creature takes a bite from my leg, I can still stand but mobility is reduced, and I know if he bites me once more I shall die. from my place kneeling on top of the crate I attempt to see the next place where I must jump to. Blast this darkness, curse it the hell and back. I see what appears to be a corner of a platform within jumping distance, I dearly hope I can make it. I couldn't, I jumped, and found myself half way there, before being pulled under water, my last thought before lapsing into unconsciousness, stay out of the water.
Amnesia the Dark Descent. A lot scarier than I manged to write out there.
