The door slams behind me. I gasp and stumble backward. My foot gets caught on something and in a second I'm lying on the ground. I groan and slowly begin getting up. Then I notice what tripped me. A hand. Most people would probably freak out by now but I calmly pick it up and examine it. It was old and rotting. I drop it back on the ground. It lands with a soft thump.
"So this must be mount massive asylum," I whisper and get a good look around. 'Blood, broken objects. Nice.' I see a camera a few feet away. Curiousity gets the better of me and I walk over to it and pick it up. I examine it before attempting to turn it on. 'Shit, out of battery. What else?' I sigh and stuff it in my backpack, just for safe keeping. Maybe there's some goddamm batteries around here. As I look up I see a pair of eyes but they quickly disappeared, followed by footsteps quickly leaving. I don't run after it but carefully walk after the footsteps, carefully stepping over broken objects and bodies. I carefully examine each body as I'm walking past them. Men, all men. I shove aside a body with my feet before heading into the hallway, after the pair of eyes.

A few minutes later I stumble into a door. I shake the handle. 'Locked. Fuck' I rattle the doorknob. 'It's hopeless' I think and peer through the bars in the door. 'Doesn't seem like anything-' I stop thinking as I see a huge creature. Almost, human like. It sees me and starts walking towards me. As it comes closer I can make out its features. It's huge, spattered in blood. Something jingles on its belt everytime it moves. It lets out an awful sound, so deep, and rumbly. Once again I stumble backwards but manage to catch myself. He picks up his pace. He can't get me through the door. He shouldn't be able to get me through the door. 'I hope,' he arrives at the door. With a huge yank all of the sudden there is no door anymore.
"Shit," I mutter. I told you before, I'm weird. I don't get scared easily, much less scream. The intent so stay alive however convince my legs to run. I turn around and run at full speed down the hallway once more. I can hear 'it' or 'him' or whatever it is let out an enraged roar and start to run after me. I turn around. It's not fast, thank god. I calmly slow down into a jog. I arrive at the big entrance. I quickly glance around at all the ways to go. 'Hurry up you or you won't have a choice soon.' I glance back one last time before running down the first hallway to the left.
