"You're going in that room, and you're never coming out!"

I stared at her. "Go to hell."

She pushed me, her own child, into The Room.

No, I'm not her child.

I'm just a tool to her.

"Cydea?"

"Where are you?" I yelled.

It could be a room covered in blood, and you had no choice but to look at it.
