19
you rise on tiptoe to lift the latch, the door opens in silence, you enter the room; crystal chandeliers and candles descend from the ceiling between the pillars of white stone, the ground is paved with square beveled mirrors from time to time the mirror is replaced by a black tile surface blind joints cemented between each mirror in a grid similar to those crossword puzzles on your left you notice an aquarium filled with chalk schoolboy of all colors, you choose a long chalk red, you bow, you draw for t'accroupis an x on a square, chalk squeaks, the red x is reflected on your face between your feet, you get up and advances toward the opposite wall avoiding walk on the dark squares, you feel weird walk on the ceiling of the room, suddenly you're bumping into a reflection of a chandelier, candles flicker and crystal rattle, you drop the chalk, which breaks into several pieces, do you decline to enter the tunnel
