Everything in that basement was just odd and off-putting. I had to keep my wits about me though, and unravel the mysteries that would get me home. Maybe I've been in one too many mystery situations, but somehow I was able to make my way out of that basement, only to be met with a blinding light and lots of loud voices and noise.
Had I died? No, thankfully. I was greeted with the shouts and cheers friends. This had all just been a ruse for a birthday party! They were so proud of themselves for surprising me, and I was just in shock. I know I like mysteries folks, but maybe next year we can just go to a restaurant?
