100 word challenge:

I stumbled through the fence, almost falling. Scattered around me were all sorts of random things. As I looked at them, I began to recognise more and more of them. Covering these objects were thick tendrils of smoke, wrapped around them like chains. I walked over to my little toy car, and tried to pick it up. I wrenched at it, and watched in horror as the smoke twisted upwards, grabbing hold of my wrists like handcuffs. I tried to scream, but the smoke sealed my mouth shut. I was pulled beneath the ground, into blackness.
