Scott opens his eyes to a large tomb-like room, filled with strange tables with glass jars filled by an uncanny liquid that looks familiarly like blood, and a disgusting mummy staring into his soul right in front of him. 


Ah, wait. The mummy is not moving, thank the celestials. 


"Grrr, argh." A strange sound creeps towards Scott. He slowly turns around as the noise gets louder. And there he sees.. 


Nothing. Where can that sound be coming from if not behind him? He turns to the mummy again. No movement, he turns back around. No movement. 


Scott has to admit, this is another level of bizarre he was not expecting. The hair-raising noise is not coming from the mummy, nor is there any other thing around the room. 


Scott searches under the tables, along the walls, behind the mummy, but nothing. Touching the mummy to look behind it was gross, the bandages were almost slimy and crusty. Scott wishes to never experience that again.
