Endless

In my state of pure panic, my only option was to shove the pillow in the corpse's face. Even if it wouldn't suffocate it, it would at least be distract it.

Once I managed to get off the bed, I was instantly ready to shoot this walking corpse into submission.

But as I tried to do so, my efforts weren't good enough...as I kept trying to shoot, there were no more bullets coming out.

I was defenseless.

Not only that, but more corpses started rising from the very ground itself, leaving black puddles of a mysterious liquid everywhere.

It wasn't long until the entire room was full of these corpses. All of them walking towards me, ready to take me.

But at the end of the day...these were just corpses right? Sure they had magical powers, but they were fragile.

With that confidence in mind, I took a massive risk and ran right towards them with the diary and one of the drawers from the nightstand firmly in hand, hoping desperately to bypass them and get them out of the way.

I hit all of them as hard as I could, trying to get away. As I hit them they stumbled over, and once I noticed that a lot of them were trying to get me from behind, I managed to whack their arms away before they could come into contact with me.
Once I found an opening, I ran away as fast as I could down the mysterious hallway, never looking back so I wouldn't waste time.

The hallway then ended and the only thing that would have allowed me to escape was a giant door which was covered with mysterious symbols and looker very ominous. I knew that I would probably have a bad time if I entered it, but I didn't really have a choice.

I grabbed the handle and pulled, and it started to open. It went very slowly however since it seemed like this door hadn't been used in ages, and I didn't even know if I was going to make it since I heard the corpses advance further towards me...

I had no choice but to stop pulling and squeeze into the little gap that I made.

I frantically pushed the door once I reached the other side, trying to close it before the corpses could get through...I started to panic as I saw them run towards me hungrily.

Thankfully I managed to close it before they could get through...

I just hoped I wouldn't have to deal with anything in this room. Unfortunately the odds weren't stacked in my favour...

As I looked around, I saw that the room I was in wasn't just an ordinary room. It looked like I was in some kind of underground coliseum, the whole room was circular with chairs lined up by the walls, creating many different rows. There was also the very centre of the room which had a weird symbol painted on it. It was a rather messy place in general, the floor decorated with rocks and rubble.

This place was bigger than any room in the mansion...how deep underground was I?

Not only that but they was no way out at all, I was trapped. I couldn't even go out the way I came in since the corpses were outside and I had no way to stop them.

There was nothing to do, nothing else to see. Was I going to be stuck here forever?

I sat down, looking up at the ceiling which seemed like it could collapse at any moment.

Oh well...If I was going to be buried alive I was pretty glad it would be in this place. It was an open space, and there was no Alyssa to bother me, no overbearing mother, and hopefully there wouldn't be anything trying to kill me down here.

If it was my fate to die here, then I accept it with open arms.

What could I do here now that I have no choice but to wait for my slow and eventual death?
