(Yay cooped up update but now done with iPad 😨😨😨😨😨😨)

Balloons pov:

I didn't even notice as morning crept around the suns light being completely blocked out by the blinds that covered my window then double layer with a blanket to keep out more light, the only sorce of light was a small lamp that was left shining all day all night every day and every night,

The lamp emitted an orange hue illuminating the entire doom with its soft colour and yet all it showed was the horrible state of the room.

I awoke to my alarm again ringing right by my head, sitting up with a groan I turned it off and rubbed the tiredness from my eyes, I don't even know how I was still sleepy as I've done nothing but sleep for weeks, my thoughts were interrupted but the grumble of my stomach a sound I was so familiar of yet it still bothered me.

I wouldn't go downstairs

I couldn't go down stairs

They hate me down there even i can see it in the way they look at me the way they whisper whenever I enter the crowded room soon left alone as they all come up with an excuse to leave, these thoughts didn't help with my struggle to leave my room.

I glanced around rummaging through the mess to see if there were any scraps from the dinner or brought up the other night that I didn't eat, all I found was a plate of mould this happened all the time, on would bring me something I'd leave it then it would rot away into nothingness, I stared at the plate for a moment before snapping back to reality (or at least close enough) and pushing the plate towards the other piles of rotten food,

"It's fine I'm not that hungry anyways" with that I layer back down in beg staring at the ceiling for another 20 or so Minutes

Until suddenly a knock came from the door causing me to immediately jolt out of bed and dart to the door leaking out the peep hole to see who it was...

It was paper stood at the door with a nervous look, I know paper is still nervous around me but it hurt a bit to see him so clearly not want to talk to me

"Hello balloon are you awake...?" Paper said quietly outside the room " uhm- oj said there's a package for you!" Paper continued as he glanced back down the hall

"Oh uhm ok I'll be down in a seck!" I replied trying to sound more enthusiastic than I was, he nodded and turned away leaving back down the hall way.

A package? What could it be? I guess there's only one way to find out- ... by going downstairs... durning the day... with EVERYONE watching... oh god-

After a few moments of contemplating existence I built up the courage to leave my room, as soon as the door cracked open I was hit by a wave of light shining straight into my eyes like a laser pointer, I winced a bit as the sudden blindness before regaining my composure and heading down the hall, it was much less scary at day with all the corners lit up it didnt feel like a hand was about to reach out and grab my leg witch brought at least a bit of comfort.

I reached the top of the stairs taking a breath before beggining to venture down the long staircase

As I walked along the creepy steps I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if someone were to fall, the stairs were tall and led straight into a wall before you turn into the main room, in the situation of falling down you'd hit your head multiple times before inevitably crashing head first into the wall.

This thought stayed in my head all the way to the bottom of the staircase until I turned to the main room immediately met with stares of the other contestants causing my blood to run cold as my heart dropped to my stomach an overwhelming feeling of sickness and dread spreading up my throat as my whole Body flushed with heat then turning freezing only moments after.

"Oh god" I mimbled under my breath
