This totally sucks. Went to bed last night just as cozy as you please and then woke up here in this nasty, grimy bricked up hole. I’m cold. And I’m pretty sure I’m late for work.

Whatever you do, don’t light a torch. You don’t want to see what else is there.

Trust me. And don’t ask how I know.

The upside is you’re about to get the closest shave you’ve ever had.

So, if you are late for work, will they fire you? And the dungeon gets repossessed? I am looking for some new digs. It sounds rather charming.
