From: Under the Statue at Burrow-Infra-Mump


The statue looks like yourself. But about a foot taller, and holding a large, two-faced skull in its hands.

Success

A small epiphany

The […] Sculptress cleverly positioned the skull so that no matter where the false-stars are, the four eye-holes are always dark pits[…] Stare into that darkness enough and you begin to smell river-water; you start swaying, as if on a slow-moving boat.

Alternative Success

The river

'You never cross the same river twice.' But that river, the one you've yet to cross, is always the same.

You ponder on that for a long time. Wait – who left that hiding inside the skull?


Failure

Discomfort; fear

You stare into the skull's cold bronze eye-holes. When one returns from a slow boat passing a dark beach on a silent river – what gets left behind?
