WAGOLL (What a Good One Looks Like)

There it was. Cold. Silent. Staring right back at me. A surge of curiosity coursed through my veins as I dared to take a closer look.

Cold metal met the beads of sweat seeping from my fingertips, and a groan escaped the handle as I gingerly twisted it open. Cobwebs hung with all their might to the edges of the wooden door, and a deluge of damp, musty air surrounded me.
