Not alone
David thought he might not be alone, and his heart started to beat faster. It’s possible that someone else had been residing in this hidden room all along. He hurriedly looked around the space for any indications of motion or life. But other than the sound of his own breathing, everything was still and calm.
A dim light
David suddenly felt something touch his hair. A single lightbulb was dangling from the ceiling when he shone the light above him. He turned on the light after rapidly looking for the switch. Although it was gloomy, there was just enough light for David to navigate the space without using a flashlight.
