Jim's Gym Journey

Chapter 4 - Under the Tunnel The cart they found themselves in was bright. Jim could see numerous lightbulbs hanging off the walls and the ceiling. Aside from them, the room was a blank canvas. Nothing but an empty, white expanse. Walking through the room, the sound of Raven’s stilettos echoed. “ We are no longer swimming through space, but what are we meant to do in this empty pl ace?” “I don’t know ! I’m not the fortune - teller here!” Suddenly, the room felt dimmer. A lightbulb had gone out. But not just one. Lightbulbs kept going out in quick succession. Parts of the white walls were turning black, and the duo felt like the floor was disappearing from under them.

“Why? Why is the room getting darker?” Raven said. Strange, Jim thought. She was no longer rhyming. It was almost like he could feel a terrified aura emanating from her, but he figured he was imagining it. There was no way all of Raven’s magic talk was real. Either way, her fear of the dark was clear as day. Jim looked around, trying to find a light that was on. He needed to get his bearings. He found one beaming through the darkness, but once he looked at it, it turned off. In fact, every bulb he found disappeared as soon as it appeared in his vision. He panicked. “Please , don’t leave me! I need you!” Jim shouted. “Jim, are you -? ” The floor started to crack underneath them. A large chasm had formed, separating the pair. Raven lied down, quivering in fear. Jim kept looking for a light , but they kept disappearing right before his eyes. He was afraid.
