Room Twelve

...a spacious room with a hole in the floor. A ladder led down into the shadows. Outside, leaves shook in the wind. They didn't like the look of that hole in the floor.
"Too dark down there!" they cried. "Who knows what's at the bottom." They looked at me again.
"Probably a room of some kind," I volunteered quickly. "But you know what I say about appearances." It would have been a relief to get outside for a while.
They wanted to know if they had been here before.... How could I answer that?
"I have the strangest feeling of déjà vu," said one who, bolder than the rest, led us into...

...room 2.
...room 21.
...room 39.
...room 8.
