Up ahead, the tunnel opened into a large, sphere-shaped room.

We had walked out onto its second level.

There were benches all around us, arranged like spectator seating.

On the true floor of the room, about 20 feet below, were 14 metal columns built in a circle with a drain in the middle.

It reminded me of something, something I'd seen for the first time just a few weeks before, while my parents were watching the movie Gladiator, a coliseum.

But what was it doing here, in the middle of the woods near my uncle's property?

We shouldn't be here, I told my cousins, and my own words echoed eerily back at me from the bare metal walls.

If you enjoy a blend of science fiction and horror, be sure to check out my other podcast, The SCP Experience.

This podcast takes you on a journey through the SCP Foundation archives where strange anomalies, secret experiments and unsettling mysteries collide.

Let's just say it's not for the faint of heart.

Be sure to search for The SCP Experience wherever you get your podcasts.

I run out of room 24, trying to get to Mrs. Plum before she does something truly awful.

Mrs. P!

Mrs. P!

You can't take Mr. Sparks to room 330!

She's about 10 yards in front of me, walking across the parking lot down toward building 3 and room 330.

Guests are at doors, at windows, standing along railings, watching this all play out.

It's quite a show if I do say so myself.

An awful show that I wish I wasn't a part of.

But still, quite a show.
