Alice in Horror Land

Awakening

Alice woke up in a mental hospital room one night. She was tied down to a bed that was old and rusted. Blood stained the walls and floor. A single flickering light swung above her. Footsteps echoed from down the hall. Alice looked down at her dressed. It had dried blood across the front of it. She couldn't remember how in the hell she got there. She could hear the footsteps getting closer. A huge man burst through the door. He was carrying an axe over his shoulder. Alice noticed him pick up a woman, she hadn't seen her because of the darkness, up from the dark corner of the room. He threw her body on a table as she kicked and screamed. The huge man tied her down to the table. He grabbed his axe, which Alice could see it had fresh blood on it, and swung it right through the woman's left arm severing it. The woman screamed in pain as the man kept cutting off limbs until she was just a torso with a head. While this was happening, Alice saw it as a chance to escape. There was no way of getting her straps off without a sharp object. She could feel some cold metal object on her dress. The object happened to be an old knife. It had a black handle with some kind of design and an extremely sharp blade. Alice kept nudging the knife forward as the man finished severing the woman's limbs. Alice got the knife to her mouth right as the man plunged the axe through the woman's head, splitting it in half. Alice was able to stretch her neck enough to allow her to cut her shoulder straps. After Alice got her shoulders free, she easily slipped her hands free. She was about to get her legs out as the man whirled around to face her. He brought his axe down to hit her head when Alice tipped the bed on its side. The pressure of Alice's legs against the straps, when she was falling, caused them to break. The knife fell out of Alice's mouth and skidded across the floor. "Shit", Alice screamed. "Why the hell does this have to happen to me?" Alice slowly lifted herself up. "Hey you sick fuck just kill me." The huge man was about to swing his axe, but suddenly the tip of a red sword appeared out of his chest. The huge man slowly fell as the sword was pulled out of his body. "Whoever you are, thank you." The person who had saved her was gone. She slowly pushed herself to her feet and went for the door. Alice slowly opened the door. The metal door creaked as Alice slowly opened it. Once outside it, all Alice saw was a single blinking light swinging back and forth. Alice also heard a quiet little girl's laugh. Alice started running down the hall towards the laughter. The hall seemed to go on forever. Alice suddenly stopped running. She knew what was happening. The Red Queen was playing mind games with her. Almost instinctively, Alice punched through the wall to her right. Like she had though, the wall easily broke and revealed a dark red glow. It was the glow of the bleeding sky that hung above this hell of a world.
