Crunch.

The sound of me biting into my BLT wrap envelops my eardrums as I walk down the hall to the dorm rooms. I'm the only one here, since everyone else is currently exploring the campus and trying to find a way out. But I don't really see a point to that. Didn't we already search the place ten minutes ago? I doubt the kind of kidnappers who can plant literal machine guns inside of concrete walls would be careless enough to leave an opening anywhere.

The clocks here say it's getting late anyway, so why waste energy? Maybe if I go to sleep, I'll wake up in my brother's house and realize this was all a fever dream caused by a wild party. Thoughts such as this one race across my mind until I finally get to my room. It's marked by a steel door with a picture of me and the name "Eden" imprinted on its surface. But before I open the door, I look up and notice something that makes my heart skip a beat.

Eden: What the hell?

There was about a 12 inch gap between the bunker's ceiling and the door to my dorm. It wasn't as if the door didn't fit either, it looked as though part of its frame was crudely chopped off just to make a gap.

Eden: What is this!? Why is there a gap in my door?

Suddenly, I hear a high-pitched squeal from behind me.

Monocavy: It's not just your door, stupid!!

I swiveled around to see the black and white stuffed guinea pig behind me.

Eden: What are you saying...? Every door is like this?

Monocavy: Of course, silly! Puhuhuhuhu! A killing game wouldn't be fun if everyone just locked themselves in their room all the time! Nobody would get killed, and that would make me very, very bored. But...!

Monocavy pointed at the gap in the door with his paw.

Monocavy: If I were to make it so that your dorm isn't safe... Puhuhu...

Eden: ...

Eden: Are you serious right now?

Monocavy: PWA-HAHAHAHAHAHA! I'm always serious!

A more sinister expression overtakes Monocavy's face.

Monocavy: And by the way, Eden, you're the first one to know about this. Why not use it to your advantage, break into someone's dorm? And surprise attack them when they least expect it!

I toss my sandwich at Monocavy, but he dodges and the wrap hits the ground hard, sending pork and lettuce everywhere.

Eden: You're one sick fuck, you know that?

Monocavy: I'm flattered. But, just remember who's in charge here, huh?

Three machine guns erupted from the concrete wall and pointed at my head. One of them fired a single round, grazing me on the cheek.

Monocavy: You're very lucky I managed to dodge that BLT. If I hadn't, you would have been the first victim of this game, Eden.

With that said, Monocavy disappeared and the machine guns retracted back into the ground. After a few seconds of anger, I spit at the wall in the direction one of the machine guns was and opened the door to my room.

Any notion of forgetting about this kidnapping and waking up in my old life disappeared from my mind. Those machine guns were real. The pain in my cheek was real. And the drop of blood that escaped my wound was very, very, real. I plopped down on my bed, face-first, and sighed, not really caring that I was smearing my sheets with ichor. There weren't any bandages here, so what was I gonna do about it? Wipe it off on my shirt? The cut would still bleed and I'd get my sheets dirty anyway.
