Introduction
Hi, and welcome to my entry for ONC 2021.
The prompt I have chosen is:
49: 'Your safety is of utmost importance to us' is displayed on the handwritten parchment letter thrown in your hands previously. "Yeah, sure, except there is someone that just died a few minutes ago!"
This is listed under the Horror category, but my tale will be more sci-fi.
