Close Call

We had made it down to the second floor, and there weren't any signs of monsters, but this time, we didn't enter another hall. Instead, we walked into a large room filled with broken furniture. The place didn't look much more than a mess, but I didn't want to take any chances.

"Watch yourself in here; something seems off."

"What should we do?"

"Just stay close to me, but not too close. Walk where I do and try not to touch anything."

Kyrina nodded to me, and I started to make my way through the room. There was no straight path, and I kept my eyes on the ground, looking for anything out of the ordinary, but nothing was standing out. Maybe I was getting worried up for nothing, but then a gasp from Kyrina made me stop and slowly look back.

Kyrina had put a hand to her mouth, and I followed her line of sight. She was looking down at the ground where the remains of a skeletal hand and arm were sticking out. The flesh was gone, and nothing but the white bone was left.
