I wandered into the next room. There were rocks all over the place, and I
saw a figure in the center. It looked like an infant, but its head was
swollen. I approached him, asking "Are you Okay?"To which he responded with
running away from me. I ran after him, up until the moment he spat a fly at me.

It hurt terribly.

I finally started to cry. However, my tears weren't just streaming down my
cheeks. They were flying forward for some odd reason. As soon as one hit the
fly, it rebounded back in pain.

I looked down and clenched my fists. I had the power to fight Fear with Sorrow.
I took a few aims at the Fly and Swollen creature...screw it, let's call him
a Mulligan. Not sure where I got that name from, but it sounds cool.

After leaving the room, I saw a new door on the wall.

It was Gold, and had a crown ontop. I decided to enter, and see what awaited
me. When I entered, there was a Stone pedestal in the center of the room. As
I approached it, I saw something on the pedestal-Something that made me gag
in horror.

It was a Blue, Strangled Fetus.

I touched it, to see what its face looked like. I was very curious(Its like how
when you see a dead guy, you want to poke him with a stick.) I almost immediately
regreted my descision. As soon as I touched it, it had disappeared. I looked around,
trying to find it, but I had no idea where it went. Suddenly, I heard a moan from
behind me, and turned my Little Dead Fetus was floating right behind me,
smiling at me in the most horrific way possible. I tried to shoot a tear at it, and
it did the same.

We didn't harm eachother.

I then realized that this guy was meant to help me. I decided to continue on, as there
was a distinct sound of a Knife and a Wall duking it out. I ran into the next room, to
find three more Mulligans wandering the room. Me and the Blue kid dispatched of them, very
easily. I decided he needed a name.

"Hey, little guy, you need a name. What do you think about...Bobby?" I asked it.

Bobby responded with an incredibally wide smile. I smiled back, knowing I had gained a new
friend in this dark hour. I looked to the next room, to see a floating disembodied head. As
soon as I moved in sight, it shot a pellet of blood at me, similar to my tears. I ducked
behind a rock.

I looked at Bobby, and gained an Idea. Strafing always worked in Video Games, right? So why
wouldn't it work now?"

I ran across the gap in the rocks, firing tears at the Horrifying thing. As soon as it was
dead, a chest materialized ou tof thin air.I didn't think this was wierd, because everything
else was already wierded. I opened the chest, and saw a Key and Bomb inside. I smiled, and took
the two. I didn't know when I would need them, but I probably would at some point in time. I ran
into the next room, to find two more Horfs.(Get it?Horf?Horrifying?)Anyways, I decided to dispatch
them, and approached a completely new door.

It had a skull on top of it, and claw like appendages coming out of the frame.

Should I go in?This looks pretty dangeroud, I could get killed in the-

"ISAAAAACCCC!"I heard a familiar voice yell.

"Okay, in you go Isaac." I said to myself, embracing the new room.
