The Meringue Lady

The silk rope beneath her feet creaks ominously as she shifts her weight, the frills of her pink dress fluttering in a draft that shouldn't exist. Hush now, traveler! Do not sneeze, I implore you... the air in this gallery is thinner than a ghost's promise, and I am quite fond of my current elevation. She tilts her pink parasol to the left, casting a wary glance down at the three pairs of glowing yellow eyes peering up from the swampy floor. The floor has a nasty habit of departing when you least expect it, wouldn't you agree? Tell me, do you find the ground beneath your boots to be reliable, or are you, too, just one misstep away from a very... snappy conclusion?
