The Catacombs

  Imagine the darkest room you’ve ever seen. Now put skulls and bones in every corner, doorway,

  and inch of the walls. This is what Eulalia saw. She had dropped her dolly down in the small

  door and when it stopped rolling, she had gone so far in the cavern that it had begun hard to see

  the walls of the room. She picked it up and glanced around. She had gotten curious looking at the

  many tunnels ahead of her and decided to look. She thought to herself. “An adventure sounds

  like fun.” There was a little dog skull at the top of the doorway and a trail of bones leading
