You open your eyes, and right there in the middle of a carpeted floor in some unfurnished empty place inside this tunnel, are your power tools. An entire bag. Oh, and your ball is on there too. That's nice.
What do you say? What do you do? Should you say thank you or... is it bait? No no- don't think about that.
You grab the tools and then turn on a dime, and just start walking out. No distractions. No diversions. Nothing fancy. Zero thoughts. Just walk. Don't even think anything. Your back is to the darkness now, and you can see the storage room ahead. Nothing came out to scare you, nothing attacked you, you weren't trapped again. You made the tunnel give you what you wanted with your thoughts, and it manifested them.
Did you figure it out? Is this how the tunnel works? You feel elated. Does the thing really grant wishes like this? Is it a mirror to your mind or-
You suddenly feel it. Like you're being watched, or followed. The childhood fear of the dark creeping in as you walk down the dark hallway, the entire inside place and its pipe-carrying monsters energy right behind you. You know it isn't the tunnel doing it either. It's <span class="mu-i">you</span>. Your sudden fear, uncontrollable and imperfect. The thought that your thoughts are making something scary appear behind you it only making them more real even faster. Like a feedback loop of realization.
Your mind flashes through creepypasta images you've seen on the internet, scary faces, ghosts from movies- they jump out at you from your memories. The creepy feeling of having your back to the tunnel is making you feel this way, and you like a dumb monkey animal are imagining it. Your own fear response is reflecting into the real world. Something is behind you now- but you're almost there. What do you do?
>Banish all thoughts
>Imagine being saved by something
>Run
>Turn and face it
