the long line

Chapter 8

I have searched. Over and over again. All have failed. I have to do this. I pushed that darn button. My last meal had a note on it. The note read :

"Game time.
I have hidden 10 possible weapons/escape tools in your bedroom. Find them? Possible escapes. Don't? I kill your brother. Once you touch that opening down there,

The game will begin. You have a week to find everything. If an item is found before you touch the space, this note will blow up. I'm sure your brother will enjoy watching you try. Have fun. "

He has my brother. The person who stole my brother though was the sniper. The sniper has me in a cage/bedroom and is watching my every move. I haven't slept much since I got that note. Too busy searching. But now that I think about it, I'm really tired. I sit down on the bed and lay down. As soon as I put my head down the pillow, it makes a *bang* and my head hurts. I look under the pillow and find a box. It has a note on it that says :
"Good job. This has 4 objects in it. 4/10. Probably the most I'll give you in one box. Good luck trying to figure this stuff out."
Good luck trying to figure this stuff out? What does that mean? I open the box and see a bunch of strange objects. One looks like a dynamite stick, but he wouldn't give me a dynamite to get out or weapon. If I use it to get out, I will probably get severely hurt. If I use it as a weapon, I'm not as athletic as I was before. I'm actually quite weak right now. If I set if off, I wouldn't get too far before it blows. I'll get hurt. So what is this thing? Hm. The next item is a gun. But that's simple. He said this stuff would be hard. Well, IMPLIED that this would be hard. Still. So what would this be? I look closer. Oh! It says fire gun on the side of it. It's that lighter that looks like a gun. But why is that useful? Ugh. Next item. A sword. This is simple. Besides the fact I don't know how to use it. That must be the bad part. One more item. Omg. This is so unfair. He said these would be helpful. This is no way helpful. A pen. A freaking pen. This is pathetic. Ok, I'm totally screwed. And to think I actually could get out! I have a weird dynamite-looking-thing, a fire gun, a sword, and a PEN. I'm a dead girl.
