empty apart from the brunette woman, still staring at me. I glanced down at the corridor below where I spotted the small droplets of blood which had spilt from her thigh. Curiously I bent down to touch and inspect them with my fingertip, then I noticed that the large corner tile where the blood had spilt onto was very loose, almost acting like a cover for something underneath. I continued to stare at the blood on my finger tip and then at the large loose corner tile contemplating what to do next. Suddenly I jumped out of my skin as a small pale hand placed itself down upon my shoulder. Startled, I turned to face the source... Of course it was the young and pretty brunette woman looking even more scared and confused beside me.
    'I'm scared Ian... I don't want to be left alone here anymore.'
    I took a deep breath, stood back up onto my feet again and turned to face her. I then took a hold of her hand and rubbed it gently, trying my best to comfort her.
    'It's okay. I won't leave you alone anymore.'
    The woman glanced curiously at the blood on my fingertips and then down at the corridor tile below.
    'What happened to you?'
    'Did you see any of that?'
    'See any of what?'
    'The other woman who was here... Crouching down right there. It's her blood.'
    The brunette woman glanced all around at the two adjourning corridors looking a little anxious and very confused.
    'I didn't see anybody else. But your nose is bleeding.'
    I quickly raised my hand to my nose and felt a tiny smear of blood on the tip. What the hell is going on here I said to myself, so confused. Did I just imagine all that. Was that really my blood on the floor and not the blonde woman's? And just who the hell was that blonde woman? Surely she must exist if I just damn well saw her right in front of me with my own eyes ... But then this dark haired woman never saw her, even when she was crouching down in the corner in front of me in full view... Oh my mind was in knots and twists. I couldn't think straight anymore. I felt so frustrated. It's like I was living in some mad nightmare, some limbo reality from which I could not awaken. I wiped at my nose which was only bleeding a little. I then let go of the woman's hand and crouched back down to take a closer look at the loose tile below me. The woman remained where she was, watching curiously as I began to feel my way around the large square tile. The tile moved, wobbling freely underneath my touch. I noticed a small finger sized gap at the back of the tile and wedged in against the corner wall. The gap was big enough for me to place my finger inside and grip the tile. So I gripped the small hole with my finger and gently lifted the tile up, placing it to one side to reveal a narrow black hole with a ladder attached leading deep down inside. Both the hole and ladder looked big enough for me to climb down quite easily. But I didn't know what to do or think right at this very moment. Should I climb down right now. I wanted too, but what about the dark haired woman. I'd have to take her with me as she didn't want to be left alone, but in her state of mind I don't think I could get her to come down there with me either. I took a few moments to stare down into the pitch black hole, then without thinking I positioned my feet and lower legs inside, just to see if they would fit as I imagined they would. Behind me, the anxious looking brunette woman reached out and touched my shoulder again as if beckoning me not to go down. I turned to face her with a blank look.
    'Please... don't go down there... Please!' She said. I turned back to face the hole once more. The urges inside me were so big, I just had to go down. I mean what else was there for me to do.
    'Please...' She pleaded some more. 'Please don't.' I turned to face her again. Damn she looked so pale and pretty in this light and my loins began stirring once more as I sneaked a quick glance at her soft, pale and smooth lower thighs which were still showing from underneath her
