The last thing I remembered before it happened was seeing a man in a dark jacket running after me, I awoke in a dark room the only source of light in the hellish cage was a flickering candle. I finally got out of the half destroyed bed, I grabbed the light like it was my only chance of survival. I stumbled around looking for any hits of where I was. After about five minutes of aimlessly wandering around the damp dark chamber, draining my sanity slowly but surely, when I went back to the bed there was a letter, I picked it up. The scent was familiar.... i-it was my wive's Perfume, my eyes began to water up I lost her years ago in a car crash. I tore open the envelope, the page was blank I gave up and almost ripped It apart. Suddenly a voice echoed through the hellish room. "Don't give up Michael wake......!" the voice got cut off by nothing and a thick fog enshrouded the room. "Nghhhhhhh, h-how did they know my name," I fell to the ground crying. The letter which I almost forgot about burst into a purple flame which then revealed the contents of the letter, I picked it up crying and read it. "Michael you don't know who I am but I've been watching you since you've arrived in Styx, you need to explore the asylum and avoid the 'beings of darkness'." I pondered to myself what this meant and what Styx is, a loud bang came from behind me, the large iron door previously blocking my escape was knocked over from the inside. Someone or something was in the room with me, I had to get out now.
