Let Free?

I sat there in silence for awhile until I heard footsteps coming down the stares. I hurried and got to my feet as fast as I could. But I didn’t know whether this person coming was going to help me or hurt me. So I decided that I was going to pray to some type of higher power to help me, even though I'm not a religious person. I prayed for about a minute until the person was completely in front of me. They stood there, tall, firm, no emotion, and said “Your time has been served and now its time for you to go free.”

in my head I was so relieved but I still knew subconsciously knew that something was up and that something was going to be wrong. But the guy opened the door and I scrambled out as fast as I could, but before I could get to the stairs the guy had grabbed my by my arm and began chanting some type of words to me “Ooma suaky, ooommma suakific. Let her be safe and take her far.”

I looked at him with the deepest fear in mind. He just looked at me and said “Be safe”

I didn’t really care whether the man that helped me cared about me or not, I just cared that I got out of there in time for something huge. As soon as I walked out of the door of the old church building I saw that the opening in which I had found was open. I ran to it hopping that I could get out.

To my surprise the gateway was still open when I got there. When I did look out onto the path I saw that things seemed even more strange out here. But I began to run, and I kept running until I ran out of breath which was about a minute later. But I stopped and began to look at my surroundings. I could tell that I was on some type of track that was meant for joggers. But when I turned around I was almost scared out of my skin. There was a dog running right towards me that seemed to have no resistance in not killing me.

I began to run and the dog began to chase, the do started chasing me all the way to somewhere I had no clue as to where the path I was on was headed. But I ran for a good 5 minutes until I reached a body of water. I stopped in a jolt and looked back to see if the dog had stopped following me. I sighed in relief because the dog had indeed stopped.

I walked closer to the water hopping to find something special. But as I stood there for another 5 minutes I saw that I wasn’t the only one standing there. I walked to them and asked what was happening but no one seemed to want to answer my questions. So I just stood there in silence with them.

As we stood there things just seemed to keep going down hill from there, the sky began to change, and the wind began to blow, but I only passed it to only be a storm coming. As the storm got closer the air got foggier. We could no longer see what was on the other side of the water. But as things kept progressing in a bad way. Someone came running right across my path.

They had bumped me so hard I almost fell into the water. But they somehow had grabbed hold of my arm. They pulled me back and apologized. I stood up hopping that I could identify who had bumped me. It turned out that it was the one guy that didn’t hate me so much. I smiled because I was excited that he was here. But when I looked over to everyone that was there I noticed that not everyone was there. I turned around and looked to the water. It turned out that everyone that wasn’t standing here was dead.

I walked up to the group of people and asked “What happened to them?”

I stood there waiting for them to answer me. But as soon as I was about to give up on asking them anything on of them said something as I was about to walk into the water hopping that I could swim across. “Don’t do it, that’s--- that’s how they died. Well some died that way but a few of them just dropped dead.” he said while tears started coming down his face.

I stepped back and just sat on the dirt we all just huddled up for comfort. Everyone just began to cry. We all missed our families, we all missed out lives, our jobs, our homes. But we were all stuck here.

I began to drift off to sleep after I watched most of them fall a sleep. But as soon as my eyes began to close there was a loud noise that woke all of us up. The sound seemed to be coming from the water. So we all looked to see if we could make out anything in the water. And that’s when one of them said “Its a boat, that sound, its a boat. Or-- or a ship.”

I turned to them not knowing what to think, but it indeed was a ship, and as it slowly came our way, I didn’t know whether there was going to be something good here or bad. Because this ship could either be taking us home or be a slaughter ship. But what ever it was we were all about to find out.

When to boat finally did dock. We were all to anxious to find out what was on this boat. We all ran towards it hopping to find something good. But there was only the guy that was at the front desk that had gotten off. He walked up to us and said “Welcome all of you that has survived your first challenge. But this ship here is a something a little special for you.”

we all boarded the boat in excitement. But when we got on the elevator to go down it seemed as if we went no where. So we all decided that someone was going to open the door to see if we could figure something out. But as we stood there all you could here is some loud beeping, and then there was this loud bang right at the top of the elevator We all jumped in fear not knowing what was happening.

But then the beeping started to get louder. And we began to move. All of us tumbled back and forth until we were put down. But as the doors opened things didn’t seem so nice anymore. We all slowly walked out and there was this loud voice on the monitor that said “Welcome contestants. You made it to stage 2 congratulations!”
