The Little Shit

Chapter 2

I decided to try and find a way out of this place. There's no way in hell I'm spending the rest of my life here. Who knows how long those other girls have been here? Long enough to find it normal to be trapped inside of a gigantic maze. Long enough to know not to come out here unless they wanted to die. I won't let that happen. I won't let this place become normal to me.

As I walk around the maze, I have time to think. Think about the flashback I had earlier. Think about the fact that my name is most likely Aurora, considering it is what the lady called me during the flashback.

Throughout the night I hear the mechanical sounds of the monsters roaming around, but I don't collide with one again. As the sun rises and the sky turns to a light blue shade I quickly realize that the monsters only come out at night. That's good. More time to get out of here without them up my ass. I start to run considering that most of the night I've been walking and saving my energy. I still have the silver key thing in my hand. I don't plan on letting go of it for a long time. It could be my ticket out of this place. It could be the key to the exit. I just need to find the exit.

The key continues to beep, but I've trained myself to block it out over the past few hours. I take a left turn to see a square opening. It was smaller compared to the rest of the tall stone walls around it, but it was certainly taller than me. Nine feet I would guess. As I walk through the opening I hear the key in my hand start to beep a little faster. Am I getting closer?

I continue to let the beeping guide me through the wide stone field. The walls here are somehow even bigger than the ones I just came from. Meanwhile, I also seem to notice some numbers written on the stone walls. The one I just passed was the number 5 in a big red font. The 7 on the key must mean I need to get to the wall with the number 7 on it. Maybe that's where the monster thing came from. Eh, maybe I don't wanna do this. I was only half joking about that part. No, I have to. I have to get out of here. I have to go back to wherever I was before this. My home, I guess. Wherever that is, and whoever is there, I'm going back.

                                         ~

What I would guess to be an hour, maybe more, later I reach the wall with a gigantic 7 on it. The beeping from the key has sped up. Guess that's a good thing. It beeps as I walk forward so I follow, listening carefully to it. The quick beeping takes me to tall, brown, rusty, metal walls sticking out of the ground. Except, they're apart from each other and in lines and rows.

                                           ~

Ten minutes of walking and getting lost almost every time. Finally, I turn a corner and immediately regret it. Another fucking monster. It's a long corridor that cuts off on both the left and right. Nowhere to go, except forwards. Right where the monster is blocking the exit. My exit. My way home. How fucking dare it do that to me. It notices me right away, getting ready to charge. I do the first thing I think of and run right towards it while yelling at it. "Hey! What's the matter?! Mad I killed one of your ugly ass friends?!" I yell. I try my best to provoke it. As I keep running towards it, I hear the key beeping more rapidly. I approach the monster at full speed, and is also now running at me. Last minute, I swerve to the right of it as it swings one of its claws to me. Quick thinking. Without looking back, I ran to the exit.

I hold up the key and the wall lifts up out of the way. I run through to be met with a hole-like-tunnel and run into it. A red light scans me up and down, and then a bunch of numbers pop up on the screen. You have got to be shitting me. "Fuck!" I look back to see more monsters coming towards me. I try to think, I try to quickly think of anything, but I can't. Where's all that quick fucking thinking when I need it the most? The best thing I could think of was to put in random numbers, so that's exactly what I do. 12345678. Nope. 87654321. Nope. I quickly glance back to see the monsters getting closer. My hands fly around the screen over and over again. I can't believe I'm actually about to die. This is the end of my short life. I can't even remember almost all of it. Just as the last bit of hope slips away, the screen switches to the color green. Holy shit. I did it. I got out. I look back to see the circular entrance close, causing everything to go black.

Quick thinking my ass.
