When the door opened, it once again pulled the thing inside of it like there was a weird whirlwind or something. The images, which were still there instead of going all black again, swirled around and around in a way that made me feel like I was going to get sick. I had to wonder how my Little Bunny felt spinning through that until she landed on the other side?

Now that it all stopped spinning and moving around like a kaleidoscope on speed, I could see where we were. The door literally dropped us just on the other side of the compound. This was the road that would lead us into Colorado Springs.

And there was something that I noticed as I looked around. There was color. It was there, but it was muted in a way. Not as vibrant or anything like that. And I wasn't sure if there was sound still, since I didn't hear anything at all coming from the screen.

The more that I thought about it though, the more that I realized that there wouldn't be sounds. Not until there was someone or something there for me to see. And I highly doubted that where that place was, there were no animals or insects hiding in those trees. This was a place for dead human souls.

The images started to move after I thought about that. I wonder if my Little Bunny had been thinking something or doing something to make her stay in that spot for a few minutes. Whatever it was, the images were finally moving.

And they were really moving. Whatever had been making that creature showing us these images move slow, it was gone now. It was like the images were truly on fast forward and it was moving at hyper speed or something like that.

"I know that place." Juniper called out as she got to her feet. "That is the way to Franny's. Man, Trinity and I used to eat there all the time. It was like her safe place when she first started going to school." I could hear the nostalgia in her voice as she reminisced.

"Yeah, I remember taking her there a lot. And picking her up from there." Carter was smiling at the memory as well. "They have really good food."

"They used to." Eve corrected him. "They closed up a while back. Franny was too old and sick to run it anymore and her family just couldn't bear to do it without her. That place was her baby, and it really wouldn't ever be the same without her."

"I didn't know that." Juniper sounded like she was on the verge of tears. "Man, that is insane. I wish we would have known sooner. I would have taken Trinity there one more time before they closed."

The conversation died out as we watched on. I was so engrossed in the images that I hadn't joined the others as they spoke, even though I had fond memories of that place with my Little Bunny as well. And I knew how much she was going to miss going there.

Before I could let myself get too lost in the nostalgia, I saw that there were other people there. People that seemed to be on repeat. What were they doing here? What was happening? I wasn't the only one to be asking those questions though.

"Who are they? Can you tell me why they are there?" Talia seemed to be talking to the thing that was on the other side of the screen. And, of course, it was talking back to her, even though I couldn't hear its voice. "Limbo? Like the game?" Talia seemed to be confused by what it was saying.

"What's the matter, sweetheart?" I asked her, finally moving forward to stand near her.

"My friend says that these people are stuck playing Limbo, but I don't get it."

"Did he say playing limbo or in Limbo?" I asked her in a calm voice.

"He..he said in Limbo. What's Limbo Daddy?"

"Hmm, how should I put it? It's like an 'in between' place. I think that, in this case, it means people that have moved on but couldn't decide where to go now that they weren't here."

"That sounds like a sad place. I don't like people being stuck in Limbo. Can we help them, Daddy?"

"Maybe sometime, honey, but not right now. Your friend seems to be moving, and we need to follow him, right." I tried to soothe her feelings, but I wasn't sure if I had managed it or not.

"Yeah, you're right. Let's find Mommy first. Then I can help them later." She was set and determined to help them. I just hope that she didn't get upset when she wasn't able to do that.

The images finished zooming on. They moved until there was another door, once again in the mountains. I wonder if that was going to be a theme here. I could tell that falling haphazardly through the doors was a theme. At least this was the third time that we were seeing this stuff spin past us.

The next area was crowded, but the images zoomed by so fast that I barely had time to register the fact that there were millions of people in what looked like an airport. What the hell did an airport have to do with the underworld?

Not only that, but the sound that was coming from the other side made us all cover our ears. It was like pure hell, no pun intended. The only ones that didn't cover their ears were Talia and the twins. They seemed to be able to hear what those voices were saying.

"Daddy, my friend says this is the hallway of regrets. These people wanted to do something but never had the time. They regret not doing it. Or maybe some of them regret doing something that they did. It's a little hard to hear with all of them talking at once."

"Yes, it is quite difficult." I agreed with her as the images sped toward the door that was in the middle of the airport. This time, at least, there was no mountain.

Things were still moving in hyper speed when it got to the other side of that door. And that was a good thing too, since there was a lot in this place that I didn't want Talia to look at too closely.

"Purgatory?" Talia said in a curious voice. I could tell she was asking me what it meant as she looked at the images.

"I will tell you later." I told her, horrified by what I was seeing.

The images sped past this place. It went through a tunnel that seemed to be cave-like, so I guess there were mountains here somewhere. After the cave, we were flying through the air, literally, speeding toward the door in the distance.

I really hoped that the giant snake that was outside that door wasn't there when my Little Bunny had passed through here. That would have been bad. I mean, she is only a soul, who knows if she has the ability to fight it right now.. And that thing was fucking massive.
