I heard his footsteps.

They were coming closer.

I needed to get out of here... but there were no exits.

Where am I?

I kept dashing through the dimly lit halls, rattling every doorknob to find them all locked.

But I suddenly heard an odd sound... a melody... echoing through the halls...

"He" stepped casually down the halls, footsteps tapping through the darkness as he continued forward, whistling a lullaby.

He held a small sword over his shoulder, casually walking past the halls that was riddled with corpses.

I had been tied up by him... suffering as he laughed and held me against my will, and I struggled to get out of the bindings and escaped...

I breathed shallowly, watching the exit sign reflect off his blood-stained sword, and I quickly spun around and continued forward down the halls.

Run... must... run.

Must escape.

As I continued forward, holding my hands out to find the door.

But I slammed face-first into the wall, choking.

I stumbled backwards, regaining my strength in seconds to pat my hands against the wall, searching for the exit...
