Afterlife V Stranger Danger

Once again I am in this tunnel. Once again I walk in the shadows. Once again I am repulsed by the atmosphere. But this time I have meaning. This time. This time I have her. She's on the other side of this tunnel. What will she expect? Will she follow me? Will she recognize me? Will she love me?
It is much darker than before now. The darkness seems... Heavier. Every step forward deplete a tremendous amount of force. And it grows darker and darker. I struggle by every step until I finally realize, I have stopped advancing. I am stuck in the darkness.
Whispers... With a voice sweeter than honey. I hear you clearly but what are you saying?
I take a step forward. And I proceed. What happened? There is no time. I must go on. Suddenly, right behind me, I hear a shriek. Terrified, I fall to the blue floor. I turn to see a creature so immense it could cover an entire village. This revolting creature let another shriek and its odour choked in the air. It had fat, green cheeks, a belly the size of a train, four tentacles sweeping the ground and its spine did not seem to belong to its body. I was so terrified I did not realize, I can see. So where does the light come from?
And there she stood, holding a lantern. She looked like a goddess. My goddess.
