England 1609As we suddenly open our eyes we see old, medieval castles and torncottages with broken lanterns. We hear dogs howling loudly but still at adistance away and crickets making soft sounds. We see burned trees withonly one or two leaves left and a mysterious, goldish green statue but itsface is obscure when youre at a distance away. We smell rotten tomatoesand dark green radish. We hear tortured people within the castle walls andcreaking doors. We see black crows circling around the castle. We sensethunderous waterfalls and fast-flowing rivers.As we explore within the castle, we encounter skeletal guards with a sharpbladed knife.They suddenly snatch the iPod. They start chasing us with theelement of surprise. We run towards a fast-flowing river and take a giantleap to get to the other side. As the guards take a small leap they fall into theriver and to a waterfall. We suddenly see the iPod flowing on a river butluckily it doesnt fall into the waterfall. We see it flow deep into the castleand into a dungeon, we take a step into the castle and hear a muffledscream. 6.
