**Hey can someone tell me if there are any contests open for one shots? Think I want to enter something from in here**

I sat down at the beginning of the test and whipped my face. I sighed and wondered about that awkward metal ball. He said he would be coming to get me soon, but I haven't seen him in a while. I guess I just had to complete a couple more tests. Last time I saw him, he was being attacked by... a bird.

I haven't seen a bird in so long, with their silky feathers and their beady little eyes. I remembered how they used to sing in the morning...That morning. Before the world -it seemed- when to hell. Take your daughter to work day...the end of my childhood, basically. Forced to test over and over for the pleasure of a computer. A lab rat in a maze looking for cheese that might not even exist.

I got up and walked into the room and whipped off some dirt from the gun. If only this could shoot bullets. Maybe that would solve my problems. I had a look at the test and saw a Faith Plate. I confidently stepped on it, and it shot me up in the air. When I did, I saw him, the little ball.

"Hey, hey!" he was saying repeatedly. As gravity began to act on my weight, I was pulled back down to earth and the force shot through my boots.

I needed to get back up, to seize my chance for a way out.
