A child is playing in the woods behind their family house. They find a cave, go in without any light, and begin yelling to hear the echo, but then many bats come flying out of the dark. They squeak and flap everywhere, causing the child to lose his balance and fall into a large hole, which at first glance appears to be bottomless. After only a couple of long seconds, the child reaches the ground, with their small head first—but they do not die; the child seems to go straight through the ground and, without hurting themself at all, end up in a weird room with rough walls and moist grounds. They see a table with a candle and a matchbox, and there is a door; what will you do now?
