Beneath the vivid studio lights, Adam's heart raced as he took his place on stage. He had dreamt of this moment, when the trivial knowledge he had amassed would finally be put to the test on the grandest scale. The host, a tall man with a sardonic smile, welcomed the contestants, his voice dripping with an intoxicating blend of charm and menace.As the questions flew, Adam's mind worked like a well-oiled machine, his answers tumbling out like pearls from a broken necklace. But as the game progressed, the atmosphere grew heavier, the air thick with a mounting dread that seeped into the very bones of the contestants.One by one, they faltered, their voices trembling as they faced the host's increasingly insidious questions. Each wrong answer seemed to cut into the contestants' souls, leaving them ashen-faced and hollow-eyed.The host's eyes glinted like those of a predator, his smile widening with each contestant's demise. The audience's applause, once enthusiastic, now felt strained and fearful.Adam, driven by an unspoken terror, rose to the top, his knowledge his only lifeline. As the final round approached, the remaining contestants stared blankly, the light of hope extinguished in their eyes."Congratulations," the host purred, circling Adam like a vulture. "You've made it to the final question. Answer correctly, and you'll leave here unscathed."The room seemed to close in on Adam, the silence a crushing weight on his chest. He felt the host's gaze bore into him, an ancient malevolence lurking beneath that silken voice.He whispered the question, a riddle that echoed through the ages: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening?"With a surge of adrenaline, Adam recognized the ancient riddle and answered, "Man." He felt a momentary relief, but the host's smile only grew more sinister."Well done," the host murmured, his voice a dark promise. "But now, for my dear audience on Reddit, I have one final riddle." The world seems to freeze as the host speaks directly to the readers at this very moment and the redditors are left to ponder the host's malevolent riddle as he stares directly into their soul, his eyes gleaming with malevolence as he utters:"Locked away I hide,In day and night, side by side,Yet both defy me when revealed,For in their light, I am sealed.What am I?"The sphinx's laughter echoes as the fourth wall is shattered, and the redditors are left to ponder the host's malevolent riddle, their fate entwined with that of “Adam” until the correct answer is surfaced in the comment section.
