Interbellum - Chapter 5

A- Am I dead?

What is this feeling..?

It feels like...

..like i'm reborn.

"You died to Rush."

W-what? What is that? What is that blue light shining into my eyes? It's blinding me!

"Pay attention to any cues that might hint at its arrival."

Cues? Arrival of what? Of that- that thing? Rush?

Hm. 'Pay attention to any cues that might hint at its arrival'....

Oh yeah... the lights flickered.

No... that can't be.... I-

What just happened?

I'm still alive, right? I still feel a soft tingle in my arms... I can't be dead. But- but there's no way... I HAVE to be dead, right? There's no way I didn't just die. I can't properly see, feel, hear, or taste anything either. I don't really remember everything clearly. I just know that it hurt so badly...

The tingling feeling in my arms slowly started to fade away, being replaced with the feeling of a hard, wooden surface. I can still feel? So I didn't die...

As I slowly regained control over my body, I opened my eyes. I was lying on the ground in a small room, surrounded by walls. It felt like the room was moving. Wait... is this the elevator?
How did I end up back here? We were just in room 12! Now that I mentioned it, where is everyone? They just disappeared!

My ears suddenly unplugged and sound slowly started flowing back into my earshell. I immediately recognized the elevator tune playing loudly. That confirms it. I'm back in the elevator.

But I did die... that weird light told me so. I died to Rush. That black... smoke. With the creepy glowing smile... I never want to see that thing again. Why is it even here? How did something unnatural and brutal like that thing end up in this goddamn hotel?

No.. that's not the thing you have to worry about now, Jimmy. Focus.

I died in room 12, right? If I counted correctly...
How many closets were in that room again? Uhh.. 3.. 4! There were 4 closets! And we are- or were with 5 people. Seeing as I'm the one alone right now, that can only mean that...

Everyone just went into a closet without alerting me? My own family?

T-they.. left me behind? To whatever that thing was?

Are you serious? Selfish people. It doesn't matter what a person has to do to survive, as long as they themselves stay alive. Even if it sacrifices someone else. Aren't your parents supposed to love you? Aren't they supposed to protect you and shield you? Maybe I'm just too old for that. Maybe they expect me to take responsibility for myself. It that how people grow up? Is a life-threatening situation necessary to enter adulthood? What am I even thinking about... this is completely irrelevant right now.
How did they know that they had to go inside the closets? I didn't even see them move. Why was I completely stunned all of a sudden? If I had payed attention, maybe it had gone differently.

I could've been in room 13 right now. No... that's not what I want...

I'm so tired of all of this...

You know...

I kinda hoped that thing really did kill me.
