As soon as he crossed over, he was engulfed in a strange and dark landscape. All around him were terrifying monsters, and the only thing he could see ahead was a long and hazardous journey. Struggling to make his way forward, Charlie soon realized that he was alone in this unfamiliar place. With no hope of escape, he quickly began to panic.
