The pale light flickered weakly across the floorboards, making the shadows around it stretch and twist along the walls.

Pushing the door open, a long and dragged-out creaking sound echoed through the room. I stepped inside slowly, the beam of the torch cutting through the darkness as it swept across the surroundings, while I looked around.
The room was fairly large.
