There was something about being frightened that Peggy enjoyed. She wasn't quite sure what it was, but it was a feeling of helplessness. An escape from the everyday, run-of-the-mill lifestyle. Perhaps it was because she could allow herself to become entranced by the ghosts and goblins, knowing that no harm would come to her. Whatever the reason was, it was surely an obsession with Peggy. She had a macabre sense of adventure,and amusement. She was always the first one to go to the latest horror films, no matter how gruesome, and she seemed unusually excited by tales of Medieval torture chambers, and descriptions of unusual torments.
One of Peggy's favorite accounts,was that of Tickle Torture. She was very excited by the thought of this type of punishment. Of course, being as ticklish as she was, Peggy could only imagine the madness it must have brought it's unfortunate victims, but it fascinated her just the same.
It was a comfortably warm Saturday evening, when Peggy went to the debut of the new amusement park. The stars were shining brightly, and a warm whisper of a breeze whisked its way through the crowded park. Because this was the debut weekend for the park, it would be open all night. The weather couldn't be better, and the turnout was fantastic.
To Peggy's utter delight, she was to find out that the park offered the largest horror house for 15 states! It was a feature attraction that sported a special sideline attraction called "Dungeon Masters." The theme of this attraction was "Real Drama" as it would have happened in 15th and 16th century Europe. Supposedly, there were to be recreations of actual tortures, performed on torture equipment, painstakingly detailed to that of the actual instruments used in their time.
As it turned out, it seemed that the "Dungeon Masters" attraction was the biggest success of the evening, handling lines some 500 people long. Outside the horror house, which looked more like a Transylvanian castle, there were robed figures, both male and female, with ghoulish masks and make-up, coaxing patrons to the line. From inside the castle, were heard hideous screams, and ghoulish moans. Maniacal laughter permeated the soft evening air. Excited and anticipatory guests waited patiently for their turn to enter the evil dwelling.
After waiting on the long line for a while, it seemed obvious that Peggy was not going to get into the attraction any time soon, but she had an idea! Being the spoiled daddy's girl that she was, and not wanting to wait for anything, she decided that there must be a better way to get into that castle. Not only soon, but also, free! Looking at the tall 23 year old brunette, one would never figure her to be the type so bold and spoiled, as to risk breaking a line that size just to get into a fun house. But that's exactly what this beauty intended to do.
She walked around to the back of the castle-like building, and unsuspectingly, sneaked under the security fence. Everyone was so busy having fun that they thought nothing of this. Peggy worked her way closer to the building a little at a time, hiding behind bushes on her way.
There in the back, was a large, wooden door, bearing a large sign that read:
DO NOT ENTER!
TRESPASSERS WILL BE
SEVERELY DEALT WITH!
THIS MEANS YOU!
Peggy thought how easy it would be to say that she got lost. What's the worst they could do to her? She could charm her way out of anything.
Ignoring the sign, Peggy pressed the lever on the large door to find that, to her surprise, it was opened. Perhaps the owners thought no one would try to get in through there, being there was a sign and all.
Peggy opened the door slowly, peeking in both directions as she entered. As she crept slowly inside, she could hear the ghastly sounds clearer.
"Pre-recorded sound effects." She rationalized.
She came upon long corridors that were very dark, and the deeper she dwelled, the darker it got. After turning endless corners, and bumping into many walls, it occurred to her; "I'm lost!" "For real!"
