The Dark Room

Sometimes I watch a movie and I shout to the screen, "No, you idiot. Why would you go in there?" But now I know. It's curiosity, or greed actually. However, in this instance, for these two characters it was curiosity. We stepped into the cabin into a dark, dark room. Our footsteps echoed in the darkness. There was nothing but dark for a long time.  Then out of nowhere we saw a flame. It was a torch at first,  but it grew into a massive, lit fireplace. Olivia and I both expected someone to be standing there. Instead a familiar voice called out from somewhere in the shadows. It said "I'm so glad you made it."
