Continuing from the halls of the mine, the scream got closer and closer. Not only that, but he heard footsteps just right behind him. They got softer ever step. Must have been something running away. Suddenly, he didn't know which way to go. He knew where he was going with the screaming, but the footsteps might be a better path to take. But what if the other way was a trap? He made up his mind and decided to go towards the screaming.
After about five minutes running through narrow passways. he finally got to his destination his the screaming. It was a ghost of a male Mudokon. 'Screming Sammy' they called him. He worked for the Transville Mining Company. He was reconized for his screams, because that was all he did when he needed help. He was also confirmed insane. On a normal day he was in his private mining shaft that his boss built for him, since he didn't go well with the other workers. Anyways, there was also a small tunnel that he never noticed before. He was big enough to crawl in it, so he did. Sam was enjoying himself discovering and crawling through the tunnel, when suddenly a tragity happened. The tunnel has completely fallen apart, leaving him stuck inside of it. At the very top of his lungs, he screamed and screamed for hours, but nobody noticed it. He then later died of starvation. As a spirit, he came back to his mining shaft and kept on screaming, all throughout the night. He still does it today, yet nobody ever notices him.
Kealton had remembered the story, and felt bad for the poor Mudokon. Still, the spirit had to be put to rest. He took his staff and mumbled some words for about a minute. Suddenly, the phantom of Screaming Sammy faded away, and he was finally put to an end. Silence spreaded throughout the mine. A book had then appeared here the ghost vanished. Kealton picked it up, and read the title of it.
JOURNAL
PROPERTY OF SAMMY STRUDEN
He wanted to read it now, but he thought he would do so later somewhere safe. He caried it as he tried to find his way out of the mine. Kealton went through a hallway he never noticed, and saw a wooden elevator there. It looked old and not safe to go on. The only direction it lead to was down. Still, curiosity overtook him and decided to go on. The elevator was run by a pull rope, which had been untouched for a long, long time. Cobwebs were everywhere, and it made Kealton very uncomfortable. Without warning, he fell through the elevator floor with a loud crack! He screamed as he was falling down into a black pit. He fell so far, he had gone unseen.
