While the tomb had definitely not been a piece of cake, its underground passageway was certainly a one-way ticket to Hell. It was nothing but bricks of stone, one firmly edged into another, which seemed to go on for eternity. The slight dripping of water that had once been torment up above was now gone, and the only light came from Bill’s wand.
