You slide back down off off the counter and walk-sprint your way back to the freezer, knowing there is nothing else you can do without putting your ass in the line of fire. The door seals behind you with a loud metal click, sounding much more final than you would like it to. The little automatic light shuts off when the door closes, leaving you in complete and utter darkness.
You are killing time in the literal fridge, just like you used to kill time on Merome's old servers.
It would be silent in here, if it weren't for the constant roar of the enormous cooling system vibrating the floor and walls around you. You pull your hood up and tug on the drawstrings, pulling your arms and legs as far into your oversized hoodie as you possibly can to stay warm. You put one of your earbuds in and rest your forehead against your knees, waiting for this nightmare to be over.
You wait, and wait, and wait, and wait.
An hour passes but still no one comes. At least you are still alive. You would rather stay alone in here for a while longer than meet one of those gun-proud psychopaths.
Three hours pass and the cold doesn't bother you as much anymore. The child lurking at the back of your mind asks if you suddenly unlocked a new superpower you didn't know you had. The adult in you solemnly tells him that that isn't what this means.
Your favorite song comes on and you smile inside, drifting off to the familiar melody of the soft music playing in your ear.
You died.
Respawn?
