Daniel gazed at the towering wall before him, his brows slightly furrowed.
At the center of this immense barrier stood a closed, silvery door emitting an unsettling aura. Without a doubt, something astonishing lay beyond.
Scrambling to his feet, Mike began to approach the door, mumbling under his breath, "This must be the exit. Let's hurry, I can't stand this place any longer."
As he neared, hand outstretched to grasp the handle, Alex intercepted him.
"Hold on," he cautioned, "Who knows what monsters could lurk behind it."
Alex pressed his ear against the door, straining to catch any sounds from within.
The group fell silent, the weight of anticipation palpable.
Moments later, Alex's brow creased in concern.
Mike, growing restless, queried, "Did you hear anything?"
"It sounds like a howling wind, as if a tempest rages behind it."
