Claire POV:

I huff another breathe. 

My eyes flutter open as I try to adjust my vision. I look around seeing four walls facing me. I slowly got up realizing I was in a bed. I look over seeing a note underneath a glass of water on top of a desk. I grab the note....'you only have one shot, get out before it's too late. In a thousand doors, In thousand locks there is only but one key to open all'.  This doesn't make sense, where the hell am I and what happened to the others?. Where was Blake? and the rest?

A loud honk sound goes off. I look at the wall seeing a board with a timer on it. 5:00min 

I go closer and another note was stuck onto the wall. When the timer goes off, the walls hug.  I start to panic, what the hell is going on? what kind of psycho world are we living in.

 I walk back to the bed grab the note. The walls are made out of steel or metal I really can't tell and there is a small bed in the corner and a small desk on the side. I sigh, a lot of things happened. I don't know where Blake, Tina and Alex is and Jack...... I start to cry. What did I do to deserve this?

I look at the board again. 4:01min left

Oh my god, I totally forgot about the timer. My chest tightens. I read the note again. A thousand doors? what? come on think Claire!  

Dangit, this is not how I want to die.

A thousand locks a thousand loc......  I keep repeating in my head. There isn't much time left and I got to get out of here. I look around for any doors or locks but disappointed with the results.

2:13min left

God please help me,  I kept repeating.

I curl up my thighs and look down. I see gold kind of weird shape squares with a hole in them. I turn my head the other way to look in a different angle. They are small squares and gold key hole shape in them.  A thousand doors...Is the tiles and the locks are the keyholes. I just gotta find the key...but where? I keep looking at the glass of water. I don't know but there is something weird about the glass of water. 

 I pick it up and shakes a little. I little tink sound came when I keep shaking it. I put my hand in and felt something cold. I reached out grabbed it and see it was a glass key. Maybe this key will fit in one of the locks.

1:23min left

dangit I need to get my butt moving.

I try all the smalls key holes in rows and got frustrated with the lack of process.

ugh none of them fits! 

00:23 seconds left

come on come on think think, if it's not one of the tiles then.....

 I search around for another key hole. I look at the bed and a thought came to me. 

00:01 second left, suddenly a loud noise echoed.

I felt the ground shake. The walls were moving closer. I rapidly huff for breaths. I was gonna be squished here!

Focus you can do it!

 I try to flip the bed to somehow stop the walls from moving.what is this?... is it made out of metal too?!

My eye gets caught on a silver key on the side of the bed. This must be it. I felt the walls touching my feet.

The insert the key inside and the door clicked open. The walls stopped moving, a sudden of relief spreads through my body.

What the?

 I reached out a bottle of milk and it read 'Drink this'

I have a really bad feeling about this but do I have a choice?. There is not much to do so wouldn't hurt to try....would it?

I gulp down most of the milk, I felt like I was gonna puke. This is definitely not milk.  I wipe my mouth and stared at the upside down bed. I felt dizzy, I collapse on the floor. My eyes felt heavy each time I breathed. 

My eyes close and I felt like someone was dragging my across. I have a really bad feeling about this.
