As Alex emerged from the darkness of the underground tunnel, he saw a beam of sunlight shining through a small opening in the wall ahead of him. He sprinted towards it, filled with a renewed sense of hope and determination. As he approached the opening, he realized that it was too small for him to fit through.

Frustrated, Alex banged on the wall in anger. But then, he noticed a small metal box sitting on the ground nearby. Curiosity getting the better of him, he picked it up and examined it. On the front of the box was a combination lock, and Alex knew that it was his ticket to freedom.

After several attempts, Alex managed to crack the code and the box opened to reveal a small key. He knew that this must be the key to the door leading out of the room. 

As Alex fumbled with the key to the door, he could feel the creature's presence behind him, lurking in the darkness. Suddenly, he heard a low growl, and he turned to see the twisted version of his father emerging from the shadows, slowly crawling towards him.

Alex's heart raced with fear as he tried to open the door as quickly as he could. The creature's movements were jerky and unnatural, making Alex's skin crawl.

Just as Alex managed to open the door, the creature lunged at him, but he managed to slip through the opening and slam the door shut. He leaned against the door, panting heavily as he tried to catch his breath.

Alex knew that he was safe for now, but he couldn't shake the feeling that the creature was still out there, waiting for him. He had to find a way to stop it before it was too late.

As he stepped out into the daylight,  Alex saw a police car parked nearby. He ran towards it, relieved that his ordeal was finally over. The police officers saw him running towards them, and they shot him 37 times.
