PETER AND THE VAMPIRES is a horror/comedy web novel (and a free podcast!)about a normal, 10-year-old kid who moves into a sinister town filled with supernatural horribleness. The series is composed of different "monster of the week" stories - kind of like THE X-FILES crossed with THE SIMPSONS (if Mr. Burns were a ghoul and something terrifying lived in the town dump). "Peter And The Dead Men" is the first story in the collection. A new page is posted every day.

At what point does the rectangle of light disappear?
I was hoping Peter was going to be smart and say, "Gee Dill, maybe we should get a flashlight first." Guess not. :\
I think it'd be pretty awesome if someone went in there as a kid and left as an adult with everyone else aged the same. As an aside, maybe Grandfather can take his library in there and read a lot faster without his year being up. :D
Very cool place (no pun intended) you've invented here, Darren.

I'm no astronomer, but I think that you would always be able to see the light from the bedroom. They probably should not have enough light to see themselves (much less each other) by now, though.
Assuming that this place followed our rules of physics, though it must not, because otherwise Dill and Peter would be dead from the cold the moment that they stepped into this dimension.
And now I am worried because I have read House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. Suffice to say there is a similar hallway and it is not a pleasant place.

I haven't commented since the last story, but it's not for lack of enjoyment. I like that this one's setting a scene before introducing new characters like monsters right away.

I don't know, I think they would have to get 600 feet or so out. I could definitely be wrong about these measurements, but then I'll just ascribe it to Peter not being very good with measurements.

Hahaha! Well, we can hope Peter will be smarter after this, right?
And DANG IT, Grandfather using the library wasn't something I'd thought of! Now I've got to explain why he hasn't...since I'm pretty sure he knows the room is up there.
Um the Muse -
Thanks! It's actually somewhat based on a giant room under a road in Washington, DC. I stumbled across it when I was there for a summer. The floor was sand and there were giant concrete pillars, and it kept receding into darkness until you couldn't see the end of the room, nor your hand in front of your face. It was extra creepy because you could see evidence of people having been there - bottles, needles, crack vials - and I wasn't quite sure who else might still be in there when I found it.
On the physics question, I think the light would eventually disappear, or at least be nothing more than a pinpoint in the distance.
They would be dead from cold? Because all of the heat radiates out into the darkness? I dunno...and the room DOES lead somewhere, I promise you that...

I hadn't heard of it, but I looked it up and read about the room. Spooooookyyyyy! This room will be a lot more straightforward...and not quite as sanity-depriving, I think. Though still unpleasant.

Good to see you back, and glad you like the scene-building!
