Lord Fred, Velus the dog, and Diedre the cat begin to venture forward onto the stone bridge that spans the massive chasm. Ahead they see the wide room decorated with statues and brass lanterns. It is all extremely fascinating -- in fact it is so fascinating that the trio momentarily forgets about the rickety wooden staircase leading down to another bridge fifty feet below.
Then ... SUDDENLY!! Someone ... or Some Thing ... kicks a chair on wheels forward and sends it hurtling across the stone bridge toward Lord Fred, Velus, and Diedre. It is a large office chair -- one of the old fashioned ones with squeaky metal casters to roll on. It is made of heavy wood with wide arm rests. As it hurtles down the path toward Fred and his companions, all three realize that the chair is wide enough that it fills almost the entire bridge space. If the chair hits the trio, at least one of them (maybe two) will be knocked off the bridge and into the chasm below. The chair relentlesly squeaks forward. With only seconds remaining, Lord Fred must make a decision.
