i frantically scan the platform, trying to find him before my 'match' found me.

he's nowhere to be seen.

don't panic.

he'll be here.

25 seconds

holy mother of god.

i'm not prepared.

18 seconds

crap, where is he?!

please hurry, phil.

11 seconds

people whirr by me and it seems as if the walls are closing in on me.

i can feel where the plastic from my prosthetic leg is digging into my skin; it's uncomfortable and i want it off.

6 seconds

i feel a thousand eyes pierce through me, scrutinizing every flaw i have.

please hurry, phil.

i just want you here, with me, so you can take me away from all my fears.

3 seconds
