Stuck In The Factory

Chapter 10: Statues

I moved back up to the Game Station levers in front of the train, pulling down the last lever, ready to start the last game, the sound of the train horn honking, my mind still whirling from what happened previously, confusion filling my mind, why had she helped me? 

I don't believe her when she told me it would be no fun for me to die before the last game, she could kill me whenever she wanted, she could have let me die in Whack A Wuggy... what made her spare me twice?

I was so wrapped up in my thoughts, I missed what Stella had said after I pulled the lever, just moved over to Statues, pulling the large hatch open and entering the corridor.

The door was shut tightly, I needed to find another way in, I looked to my right, finding a door there, upon entering, I was in a place filled with pipes, wires and all sorts of other crap, I kept moving around, looking for something to open the door with.

It was hard to see wit the lighting dimmed to darkly, so many flickering lights, with no one around to maintain it, the factory really went to hell in the past 10 years.

I walked past a pj pug-a-piller poster, sighing in exhaustion, he would be what I dealt with next, after all, the entrance to Statues had his face on it.

I continued down, finding more pillars and green switches, and a PJ cut out, ignoring the cut out, I went for the the green switch, taking some charge and hurrying to find where I needed to put it, heading to the left. 

I found the dulled green triangle, placing the charge into it, lighting it up a bright neon green, but it didn't help, nothing happened, I blinked a bit confused, before looking around further, eventually, I found a handle above me in the ceiling, using the grab pack, I grappled up to it, finding a small bridged ledge to crawl across.

I found a switch to conduct with, pressing the blue hand against it, I dropped back down to the pillars, grunting as I hit the ground, then I pulled the conducted wires around the pillars, powering them up, then I took the green charge again, placing it on the triangle.

I pulled myself back up to the ledge, looking at the second dulled switch that I needed to conduct the electricity into, when I pressed it, I heard the faint sound of the closed door opening, causing me to turn and hurry to it.

the metal grating of the door as it opened was nearly deafening when I got into the corridor, making me wince at the sound, like nails on a chalkboard.

I walked through, looking at the dimly lit room, I could see the silhouette of a maze, causing me to whine slightly, I really did hate mazes, especially if I couldn't see very well.

I heard a TV come to alive with a sharp static sound, causing me to look in it's direction as it explained the rules of the game, I could only run when the lights were off, and I wasn't allowed to move when they were on, outside of looking around, and even more painfully, Pj would be chasing me the entire time and could move no matter what the lights were doing.

Fuck my life... I wish Marie were here, I wish I knew if she was okay.

"It was always so sad to see the kids go..." I heard the familiar voice of Mommy Long Legs, turning to look to my right to see her at the observation window, blinking up at her as she spoke.

"They called me Mommy, because I was the closest thing they ever had to one." She told me with a saddened, but wistful tone.

"But they'd come for games and never come back, they left Mommy to die alone, Mommy didn't deserve that." She spoke, her tone sounding more upset, then changing to a sort of  high pitched condescending one, I felt sympathy rise in me, how long had she been here alone?
