But you head towards it anyway, and take a step through. The breath seems to be sucked out of your lungs, and for a moment you feel as if you had taken a step into death. Then, the air quickly rushes back, and you wheeze for a moment, grasping your chest. After making sure that you're really still alive, you look around...
