"Ready?" Four asks, jabbing at the dials on his control pad. "Second dose. Big deal."

"Yeah," you say, focusing on your breath. In, out. You're shaking. Your breath is raspy. You try to control it, sucking it in, but-

"Do it before I run away," you spit through gritted teeth, and Four barks out a surprised laugh. He pulls out the needle, and before you can say anything, it's in your arm.

CRACK.

The ice is thin beneath you. You stumble back, waving your arms to get your balance, but they catch nothing but empty air, air...

You make the mistake of looking down, the cracking glass suspended from two towers. Beneath you are hordes and hordes of tiny ant-like people, toy-sized cars... the wind grabs you, ripping your hair, your clothes towards the edge...

With a start, you realize that you can't even see the edge, the cracking glass everywhere. CRUNCH. It's getting worse, you realize, terror gripping your heart, the sounds more and more frequent... the wind starts up again, and you clutch at your jacket, crouching down, trying to keep your eyes up as the floor bends and creaks beneath you.

It's going to break. It's going to break. Your heart races a thousand miles per hour, slamming against your chest as you stretch your hands out, trying to clutch the crunching glass...

IT'S GOING TO BREAK, you realize, jumping up and stumbling around, trying to find something to hold onto, anything before you're sent hurtling through space to the ground below. CRACK.

I NEED TO CALM DOWN CALM DOWN CALM DOWN you yell at yourself over the noise of your thoughts, choking back a sob, sucking in a breath as you-

How fast you get out depends on a random choice you're about to make.

If you choose 1, go to 97.

If you choose 2, go to 98.

No looking ahead! Let it be random. Also, please note that the times for the previous serum have been changed (as of 3/1/21) to make it a little more fair. When the time comes to add them all up, make sure you look at the updated times!
