Human: Write a description of a eerie scene inside a basement with plant-like growths. Assistant: 
Circular and very narrow, this space is more accurately described as a shaft than a room. Each stone lining the walls is carved into an exaggerated, grinning face. Phosphorescent plant-like growths cling to them in odd patches, bringing to mind some sort of garish makeup. A pungent scent lingers beneath the dominant damp vegetative smell, faint but ever-present.
