As my curiosity peaked, I took a moment to absorb the bewildering scene unfolding before me, my expression reflecting a profound sense of cluelessness. Instinctively, I turned to Sarah, my voice trembling as I sought answers, "Sarah, what on earth is happening here?"
Sarah took a deep breath, her eyes shifting between me and our mother. There was a moment of hesitation, a silent plea for guidance. Finally, she mustered the strength to begin explaining, knowing it would be a shock for me, still unaware of the events that had unfolded during my coma.
"Arthur" she began, her voice trembling slightly, "after you were hospitalized, everything seemed normal for a few months. But then, something unimaginable happened."
She paused, glancing at our mother, who nodded with a mixture of apprehension and encouragement. Sarah continued, her voice tinged with a sense of disbelief and fear. "A massive hole emerged in the middle of the city. It was unlike anything anyone had ever seen—a black void, seemingly bottomless."
I listened intently, my mind struggling to comprehend the magnitude of what she was describing. The world I remembered was no more, replaced by an unfathomable darkness.
Sarah continued, her voice filled with a sense of awe and fear. "Millions of people lost their lives, and scientists and researchers from all over came to study this phenomenon. They called it the 'Death Hole.' People were terrified, and there was an eerie stillness that hung in the air."
My eyes widened as I tried to fathom the terror and chaos that must have enveloped the city during those dark times. The mere thought sent shivers down my spine.
"Despite numerous attempts, no one could reach the bottom of the Death Hole," Sarah went on, her voice tinged with a mix of curiosity and caution. "It seemed to have no end. But then, after a couple of years, something unexpected happened. The researchers managed to go farther than before and discovered a small door-like structure hidden deep within the abyss."
My heart quickened at the revelation, a mix of intrigue and trepidation building within me. What could be behind that mysterious door? What secrets did it hold?
"The discovery sparked curiosity among the researchers," Sarah continued, her eyes shining with a combination of excitement and uncertainty. "They alerted others and began digging new tunnels in an attempt to uncover what lay beyond that enigmatic door."
The possibilities swirled in my mind as I envisioned the researchers venturing into the unknown, their determination fueling their relentless pursuit for answers. I couldn't help but wonder what they had found beyond that door and what awaited us if we ventured there.
