I was invited to this party at a seaside mansion in an isolated property in California. A friend of mine knew the owner and got us RSVP invites. We drove their in one car, and parked in this parking lot that was edged by a giant dropoff to the ocean below. It was an amazing view.

Off we went, to the entrance gate and were let in to the front yard. A brisk walk to the door where we presented our invites and we were IN LIKE FLINT. Wow, is all I can say. Lots of people, lots of women dressed to kill, with food and booze aplenty.

We both chatted around the room and hit on the women. Not having that much success, we decided to sneak a peek around the house. We edged quietly around a door and entered a hallway. There were heads of wild game on the walls. Pretty impressive stuff. At the end of the hall there were two doors. One said no admittance. We went through the other door and it led to a study. Tons of books in there on all kinds of macabre subjects. Enough for me. Out of the room and back to the hall.

We talked about how we should probably quit invading this guy’s privacy and return to the party, but curiosity got the best of us. We went through the marked door and were in a short hallway. At the end of it was a long hallway heading both directions. As we stepped into the T of the intersection, we heard some growling coming from the left hall.

We quickly turned the other way and decided maybe we should follow that hall until we could find an exit to the outside. Maybe it was best to get out and go home. We turned right and briskly walked along. As we got further down the hall, which was not well lit, we noticed there were razor blades stuck all over the walls. What kind of insanity was this ?

No time to think. Time to move. About that time we heard a noise from behind us. It was the barking of dogs, and it was getting louder as if they were moving our way.

I looked at him, and he at me, and we both said at the same time, “run”. We started running as fast as we could , without brushing the walls. The hall seemed to be getting narrower as we ran.

And then the lights went out.
