Second person style


The main character is you.  Not you like you but you the pronoun and well you've really botched this latest tomb robbery because well why don't you (like you the writer) tell me just how bad you (the character) have shanked it in the comments.

You thought the door opened inward. Turns out it sort of did. What actually happened wasn't clear to you until you fell into the lake face first.

Back to the door. See, you pushed hard. Nothing moved. Then you pushed really hard and well, the door sort of spun - like there were two hinges in the middle of the door on either side - so you went through the top of the door, like a slide.

And in fact you continued down a slide for quite some time, your mouth, throat and lungs filling up with brackish water spraying from some unknown source. It was only unknown because it was pouring into your eyes and ears as well and that made it awfully difficult to tell what was going on.

At this point, crawling up onto the rocky shore, you figure the trap was a bit of a warning shot. You mess with the King's lead architect and he sends you almost to your watery grave.

Next time, you should be more careful when you apply force to unknown doors in ancient tombs. For now, you're just going to have to figure your way out of this underground cave before you die of hypothermia.
