"Oh, my God! Zach!?" I said, running over to him. "Why the fuck were you posted up?" He said laughing. "Man, I fought a humanoid rabbit, and I've been paranoid ever since," I replied. His eyes widened. "I fought a human. He was probably high or drunk." He said. "Maxx what about you?". "Oh, it was just a politician." He said looking around. "What?" I said. He looked back at us "It was a lizard man.". Zach pinched the bridge of his nose and said. "Alright, do you guys want to continue looking through doors?". I looked backward to Maxx. "What do you mean 'continue'? We just got here!". I screamed "And we don't even know what's behind the doors.". Zach rolled his eyes, "Okay, fine. I'll show you it safe.", he said, opening the purple door. It was the one he came out of, but before I could say anything, a man who had a blue nightgown on, brown slippers, a rat-nest of hair on his head, and shushing us. He started grabbing Maxx by the shoulder and shaking him. Maxx shoved him off of him and slammed the door.

"Well, I was wrong," Zach said shakily. "You fucking think!" Maxx yelled. His voice echoed. The silence was so loud. I took a deep breath in. "So," I said, "Who wants to try the next door.". Maxx and I put our fingers on our noses and screamed: "Nose goes!". He groaned and opened the door far to the left. When he did, two girls with bright blond hair, pale skin, and the same black and blue goop oozing from their mouths. We all screamed and scrambled back. One of them had an old-timey controller, and I felt my muscles tighten again.

Zach ran and closed the door. They were far enough back that neither one of them was hurt. "I'm not opening another door!" Zach shouted. I didn't want to traumatize anyone else so I took it upon myself to open the last door. I walked over and put my hand on the door. "You guys ready?" I said, looking at Maxx and Zach. They nodded their heads. I opened the door and nothing came out. We all sighed. The moment of solace didn't last very long. A humanoid projector-man wearing an all-white suit with a weird symbol on the left side of his collar. We all scrambled away from him. He was tall, huge, even. Zach had to look up to him. Maxx pushed him back in the door and I turned around and closed it.

"Fuck!" I screamed, out of confusion. Who would do this to us? No, this isn't possible, how could we be teleported, have our hair and outfits change, and have duplicates of ourselves? I heard Maxx slide down the wall and groan. "What now, Zach?!" I said. "Cody! Shut up!" Zach screamed at me "All of us want to go home and we're all stressed out of our minds!". I looked down at Maxx on the floor. His leg was bouncing and he was rubbing his face. "I'm sorry, let me reword what I said." I replied as calmly as I could "What do you think we should do?". He was in front of the first door we opened. "I haven't thought about this long enough but I saw that the projector person came around a corner, so there has to be hallways around the corners.". He said pacing around the room. My heart dropped, just the thought of confronting one of those monsters shook me to my core. I looked over at Maxx; he looked up at Zach with the same fear I had. I walked over and helped Maxx up. Zach walked over and put his hand on the doorknob. "Zach, are you sure?" I asked, my voice was shaky. He turned his head to look at us. "Nope, all I have planned is 'run fucking fast'!" He exclaimed. I looked back at Maxx, "Ready?" He asked. "Yeah." I was lying, sure I wanted to find my way back home but, damn, is this worth it?

Zach opened the door, and we sprinted around the corner. There was another green door at the end of the corridor. We stopped running and Zach opened the door. It was a big room with green and purple walls and in the middle of the room was a man with an all-black suit, reptilian hands, and no face; instead, he had a black and white checkered pattern.
