Snapper's House of Interest

I enter the house, nothing special about it, but interesting all the same. The first room is actually a long thin hallway that stretches far away from me. It is lit by lights every so often.There are doors every couple of feet, each one colored a different shade of blue. I hear the lock click in the door I had just entered through. I get a foreboding feeling creeping up my spine. Entering the first door on my left I see a small room set up as a nursery. Looking around from the doorway I can see children toys scattered about. Sitting in a corner is small figure, I call out, it turns showing a grotesque monster face. Slamming the door shut I turn to the right hand door, and gently open it. Within is an empty room painted gray. Hanging from the ceiling in the center of the room is a doll dressed up as a businessman. Suddenly I realize this room has no sound at all, where the hallway sounds like a fan is running this room is silent. I slowly close the door getting the feeling as if I was intruding on something personal. I run to the end of the hallway, expecting to find the way out. The back wall holds no door, but an arrow pointing to my left. Pulling courage, that I don't really have, from my stomach I open this simple looking door into a scene of bizarreness. The walls are a dirty tan color, the floor of cement. There are two work lights sitting in corners pointing at the middle of the room casting a great X shadow upon the wall. This X comes from the figure chained in the middle of the room. The person is naked save for their underwear, and they look insane. I hear a cackle from my right down the hall. Turning I see the monster child in the hall holding the small gray businessman doll as if it were a marionette. Standing behind those two is a seven foot tall clown. Purple hair poking out crazily, a bright red nose, lips covered in crimson paint. It smiles at me showing crooked yellowing teeth made even more disgusting when shown against the white of its face. I run into this room and slam the door shut locking it. I run by the X-figure, causing him to lunge at me giggling. There is an exit door right at the other end of the room. Its bright red light glowing in this crazy world. Rushing to it I bang on it, there is no handle! Click! Spinning around, the clown is in the room with me...it slowly makes its way towards me folding and turning something in its hands. When it makes it three feet from me it stops, and finishes what is was holding. Its a balloon dog, and he places it on the floor where it comes to life. Growling at me it slowly advances. It lunges at the same time the door opens from the other side. I am spun and thrown to the side, as a friend closes the door popping the dog in the closed door. Looking up, its a hobo who I strangely know is a friend. Even for his tattered clothing, and unshaven face, he holds a military air around him. "Run, leave now. They will not bother you now, I will see to it." Walking away through the metal railings as if it were a ride I make my way to the front road. Turning back I see the Neon sign on the front of the building Snapper's House of Interest!, out of nowhere a brunette girl is standing next to me. She says to me "I lost my brother in their once..." she takes my hand and we walk away into the night.
