The Darkmaster's Challenge
Chiller 29
(page 2 of 4)

Then lightning struck my room. That's the only way I can describe
it. A sudden flash knocked me over and the next thing I knew, Randy
and I were on our hands and knees in some kind of a hot, stuffy, stone
room. There were lit torches and I could see picture writing on the
walls. "Egyptian hieroglyphics!" I said. "This is totally nuts, but
we're inside a pyramid!"
But he was too busy screaming to hear me. I turned and saw what he
was screaming at. Leaning against one wall was a mummy case, and the
lid was creaking open! When it opened all the way, the wrinkled
bone-bag inside raised its head and looked at us!
We ran into each other at first but then toward a passageway that
led out of the chamber. From behind us we heard footsteps...the
mummy was chasing us!
We kept running until the passageway split into two. "Which way?" I
asked, but our decision was made by the gray, scurrying thing that
came out of the passageway on the right. "Eeew, a rat!" Randy
screamed.
"I think it's only a mouse," I said, "but I still don't like it.
Let's go the other way."
After going on for what seemed like ten miles, the passageway ended
in front of two huge wooden doors."This one," Randy decided, though I
think he was just guessing.
