THE SECRET

With slow steps, the worm man walked towards Carmine's room. He opened the door, but no noise could be heard inside. He looked around, everything seemed normal. A bed, beautifully painted pictures, a mirror, and a carpet. There was nothing out of the ordinary. 

This event puzzled the worm man ' Am I going crazy?' he asked himself inwardly. He was sure of what he had heard. However, everything in Carmine's room seemed to be in its place. He was on his way to the door when he heard the noise again. The clinking of chains and loud banging. The worm man was stunned for a few seconds. This time, the sound was accompanied by wailing. Pitiful whispers for help.
