Tunnel

I ran throughout the castle with all my strength. I had never run as fast as I did then. I was terrified. Anyone would be if they were being chased by a griffin. Frantically, I looked for an escape route, because I was nearing a dead end. Soon, I reached the wall at the end of the corridor I was running along. I turned around to face the horrible creature. Then, something caught my eye through my peripheral vision. It was a tunnel, mostly hidden by a tapestry. I turned and ran down it. It was an empty tunnel with rounded walls and no features. I ran, and ran, and ran. The griffin was inches behind me. I could see sunlight up ahead. Griffins can't go in sunlight, so it started to get desperate. It reached out for me, but I dove into the daylight. I was free.
