Casino Terror - (🩸)

The old casino, once bustling with people and noise, now lies silent and still. The five teenagers, all friends, had decided to spend a night here. They had heard rumors of a serial killer prowling the streets, but they were determined to have some fun anyway. As they enter the casino, they feel a sense of excitement mixed with apprehension. The walls are adorned with flickering lights, casting eerie shadows across the floor. The air is stale and musty, as if the place hasn't been cleaned in years.

They split up, exploring the various rooms and floors of the casino. After a while, they realize they are all locked in, unable to leave. Their phones don't have reception, and the only exit they can find is blocked by a heavy security door. As they search for a way out, they begin to hear strange noises coming from the vents and shadows. They all share nervous glances, knowing that they are not alone.

Tonight, one of them will disappear. The tension is palpable as they huddle together, trying to comfort each other. They decide to keep close watch on each other, making sure no one gets separated. Suddenly, they hear a loud thud from down the hall. They exchange frightened looks and hurry towards the sound. As they round the corner, they find a body lying on the floor, blood pooling around it. They recognize the face - it's their friend, Sarah. They all scream in horror and fall back against the wall, trembling in fear.

Their worst fears are confirmed: the serial killer has found them. As they try to process what has just happened, they hear footsteps echoing through the hallway. They quickly decide that they need to hide, and split up once again. Emily decides to hide behind a large slot machine, while Jason hides in a cardboard box nearby. Aiden crouches down low behind a row of chairs, and Jack finds a storage closet to squeeze into. They wait, their hearts pounding in their chests, barely able to breathe.

The footsteps grow closer, and finally the killer appears, wearing a grisly mask. He pauses for a moment, seeming to sense that they are nearby, but doesn't yet spot any of them. He walks over to Sarah's body and kneels down, examining it closely. The friends hold their breath, praying that he doesn't notice them. After what feels like an eternity, the killer stands up and begins to walk away, deeper into the casino.

Emily can't believe it - she thinks they've managed to lose him. But as she peeks out from behind the slot machine, she sees the killer round a corner and disappear from view. She quickly signals to the others that it's safe to come out. They emerge from their hiding spots, their hearts still racing from fear. They are all shaking and covered in sweat, but they know that they need to keep calm and stay together if they want to survive the night.

They decide to stick close together as they explore the casino further, hoping to find a way out or some sort of weapon to defend themselves with. As they wander through the dimly lit halls, they hear a faint clicking sound coming from a nearby vent. Emily recognizes it as the sound of a key being turned in a lock. Suddenly, a section of the ventilation duct swings open, revealing a dark, cramped space behind it.

"Guys," Emily whispers, "I think this might be a way out." She climbs into the vent, squeezing her slender frame through the narrow opening. The others follow suit, crawling through the tight space until they emerge on the other side. They find themselves in a dusty storage room, with a heavy metal door leading back out into the casino. The door is unlocked and swings open easily, revealing an abandoned hallway.

They hurry down the hallway, their hearts pounding in their chests. The sounds of the casino grow louder as they approach a set of double doors. Emily carefully pushes one of the doors open, revealing the main floor of the casino. It's packed with people, laughing and shouting and throwing dice. They blend into the crowd, trying to disappear into the crowd.

As they wander through the casino, they spot a security guard patrolling the floor. They duck into a nearby slot machine alcove, trying to avoid detection. The guard walks past without noticing them. Once he's gone, they continue on, searching for an exit that isn't being watched by security cameras.

Finally, they spot a service exit marked "Employees Only." It's unguarded and leads to a deserted alleyway. Relieved to be out of the casino, they hurry down the alley, their hearts still racing from fear. They come to a stop at the end, catching their breath and trying to figure out where to go next. "Do you think anyone will believe us?" Emily asked, gasping for breath. Everyone shock their head a no.
