The beginning...

Adam eased himself up, trying to remember just who had talked him into exploring the old abandoned mansion. He coughed a little. Probably this dust we stirred up. He patted the ground, hunting for his glasses. What Adam saw next froze his hand in mid-air. Next to him on the ground was something that looked like a large, pale, misshapen spider. What the…? He heard a deep groan, and the spider slowly began to move away.
“Ryan? That you?”
“Yeah…” came the reply, “Where the hell are we?”
“What the… Disneyland! Where do you think?” Adam replied, “We fell through the floor into the basement, you idiot! Now help me find my glasses – I can’t see a damn thing!”
His friend muttered something, but Adam ignored it. He continued patting the ground, and heard Ryan starting to move, groaning slightly. Adam wondered if his friend might be hurt. Suddenly he heard a sickening crunch from nearby.
“Oww! Sorry, dude. I didn’t do it on purpose, I swear! I am so sorry!”
“Shut up already, will ya? Just give ‘em to me – maybe there's enough left for me to see so I can get us out of this mess!”
Adam really wanted to be mad at Ryan, but it looked as though they were stuck for now. He’d let him have it later, after they got out of this mess. Ryan and his stupid ideas!
