05 - the Curse of the Mummy's Tomb
“Then I hit. Hard.
I landed on my side. Pain shot through my body, and I saw red. A flash of bright red that grew brighter and brighter until I had to close my eyes. I think the force of the blow knocked me out for a short while.
When I opened my eyes, everything was a gray-yellow blur. My side ached. My right elbow throbbed with pain.
I tried the elbow. It seemed to move okay.
I sat up. The haze slowly began to lift, like a curtain slowly rising.
Where was I?
A sour smell invaded my nostrils. T...he smell of decay. Of ancient dust. Of death.
The flashlight had landed beside me on the concrete floor. I followed its beam of light toward the wall.
And gasped.
The light stopped on a hand.
A human hand.
Or was it?
The hand was attached to an arm. The arm hung stiffly from an erect body.
My hand trembling, I grabbed up the flashlight and tried to steady the light on the figure.
It was a mummy, I realized. Standing on its feet near the far wall.MoreLess
