Bittersweet truth

Chamber

April 2, 1996
I wake up in a dark room not knowing where I am.
My head hurts and the world around me is twisting, creating twisted frightening images on the walls.
I look around the room :
I'm sitting in a hospital bed, there's medical equipment on the tables across the room and blood everywhere.
It's trenching in here, I feel like I'm about to puke and i can't remember anything.
My past, my life and even my name seem like a blur, I can only remember one thing :
A blurred vision of someone shouting, lights, footsteps and the feeling of everything around me going black.
I almost barf stumbling out of the bed making my way slowly to the cabinets along the wall when I feel something in the wall with my fingers :
There's something written there, carved into the dirty, bloody tiles. But it's too dark to see.
I make my way over to the cabinets, there's sweat dripping from me, I'm almost puking, hands and my bare feet covered in blood and crushed remains of bugs. I search the cabinets, slowly one by one, careful not to hit something and to make noise until I find something at the very top one where i can barely reach. A flashlight. I try to turn it on but it doesn't work so I hit it, again and again until it barely lights up. I look across the room i am in

It's falling apart, blood everywhere, human skulls and bones in the sink near me, rotting meat hung on the dirty tilled wall and a corpse with flies fully covering it at the end of the corner.
I almost scream, holding back the urge to puke. There's tears forming in my eyes and i can't handle the smell.

I look at the bed i was laying in and see two things..

There's a dead bird and a small note in the middle of the carrier.

I slowly, trying to avoid all the dead insects and blood make my way to it.
I open the note and read it :
Welcome to the game.
There's many floors with twisted horrors, killers and monsters on them you'll have to pass.
Pass them and you will escape,
Don't and get killed.
If you do not wish to play there's a vile of poison in the room.
Good luck
I panic, is this the truth, will i have to survive horrors to escape this hell!?
My head starts spinning and I want to curl in a ball and cry, but I suddenly remember the carving in the wall.
I look around trying to find it and i eventually do.
