Take left path.

Run down the path on the left. Make as much noise in each footstep as possible.

Try to snatch a lightbulb.

: You walk down the left path. As much as you try to make solid footsteps, the ground seems to muffle the noise, like it was made of sand. Or ash.

You also manage to remove a bulb from a lamp post, but it goes dark the moment you remove it. Returning it back makes it lighten up again.

: You use dig! It's not very effective...

>Try stepping off the path.
>With as much noise as possible.

: You step off the path. The texture of the ground is same.

You find that the nature of the silence is oppressive. Other places didnt have much sound either, but its here that the silence is so noticeable, hanging thick in the air.

pick up some of the ground and look at it

: The fine, grey matter escapes your hands.

>Is there something on the second lamp post?
>Check whatever that is.
