   I woke up in another place. A small room made of wood. Not like dark wood, it was pretty light wood, but anyways, I walked around the room, and i found myself pacing back and forth, thinking about what Aaron had said. Two more tasks? A guinea pig? Was I just another stupid test subject? I decided that thinking was also wasting time. I looked around for any dents or cracks in the room. There was a couple but after a couple minutes of trying, they didn't lead to anything. 

   The only source of light was a small window above my head, which I suppose it was day because I had light. I tried to jump up to reach the window, maybe I could break it? I was a couple yards short, so that idea was crossed out. I then sat down on the floor with my head against the wall. I was lost in thought for the next while, I thought about my mother and father and how I had spent most of my life with and made so many memories with. 

  Slowly, I drifted off to sleep, until a high pitched scream awoke me. I quickly stood up and I was confused, the sound must have come from outside of my room. I wasn't able to see anything due to the darkness. After a while I decided it was probably just me. I decided to pace the light wood room for a couple more hours. Suddenly another sound filled the air around me. This was more of a grunting old sound. A bright light blinded me and I had to shield my eyes from the light.

 After a while I was able to look up and I saw something that gave me confidence. It was a sunrise, it helped me realize that every day can be good, if you choose for it to be. My mother had told me that. I sniffled, and tears started running down my cheeks. Not now, I thought. I wiped away the tears and looked up again. 

  After a while I was able to calm down. I looked around to see if anything was different. At first it looked as if everything was the same. But after very close inspection, there was something different. Hadn't the walls been more outward? I just assumed it was me because of lack of food and water. 

  The next day, I woke up to find the room had become smaller. I was probably hallucinating. I shrugged it off as I looked once again for other ways to get out of this room I was being held captive in. The next day I confirmed it, the walls were closing in. I was going to get killed soon if this kept up. The next day it got closer in and I started panicking. I tried everything.. But there was nothing that could help me.

 And then, I had an idea. I could use the walls to escape. I kicked off one of the walls and then the other wall, i almost reached the window. I tried a couple more times to reach the top but i needed the walls to come in more.

I waited another day for them to come in and I was able to touch the glass. I then decided it was time. I would escape. I ran up the walls and punched the glass as hard as I could, it shattered all over me and I got cut a little. On the next run I was able to grab the ledge and pull myself up into the tiny confined space above my room.

 I crawled into another room until I reached another glass window, I broke it and dropped down into the hole. I came into another room that had two openings in it, I went through one and almost got burnt to a crisp but I saw another opening to a room behind it. I backed up and went through the other one, and there was a pool made of thick acid.

This was it.
