Belly of the Tin Beast

I spotted the giant black metal tunnel perched on the wooden post by the curb—its hatch was swinging wide open like a hungry monster mouth! Naturally, I scrambled up the rough post and crawled straight into the chilly hollow belly. It smelled like old iron and paper ghosts! Then a sudden gust slammed the tin door shut behind me with a loud, echoing CLANG! Pitch-black darkness swallowed me whole. My heart did a spooky little flip! When I shouted a battle cry, my voice bounced off the curved walls like a terrifying phantom wail. I stomped my plush feet against the metal bottom, thrilled to conquer the hollow beast!
