 "Strange, everything is so... quiet.. It is even still dawn. I need to find something or better an exit door. I need to get out of here as soon as possible. I don't think what happened to me back there will happen even right now..." Suddenly, I shut my mouth. Footsteps start making noises. A door opened and I saw a hand. As I strafe, the whole figure is shown, and I was scared.

 It was a man, with his eyes gouged out, a stitched mouth assembling "DEAD", black hoody and jogging pants, a scar on his left cheek, and a bloody forehead.

Alex: Um... Sir?

[Unknown]: ...

Alex: Sir! Uh... Please, tell me what happened to you...

[Unknown]: ...

Alex: Sir?... No... Don't tell me you are going to kill me with that thing?

[Unknown]: ... Die...

Alex: No! WAIT!

 He is holding a knife, then he came to me, charging at me. I dodged the attack. Then, he started chasing me and kept slashing until he got me wounded. I kept running and running. As he tried to slash a plank, I kicked him and pulling the knife out of the plank. As I looked around, he was gone. My heart was beating fast.

 But it seems that he is sneaking around. He was behind me! Then, he pulled a choke hold to me. I started to strike him with my elbow. I kept striking until I get out freely. But I feel unconscious. I couldn't catch air. Then so, I swiped the knife to his head. Then he let go of me, then I stood away from him. I'm walking backwards, small, tiny steps. I'm watching him. His forehead was really in bad shape, that the knife stabbed him to the head. It was bloody. But he stood up. Then he is holding the knife, and pulling it out from his head.

  He used his strength to pull the knife out of his head. Then, the knife is released. Then, he started chasing me! I ran to the door behind me. Good thing I came first. Then I closed the door. Suddenly, he stabbed the door. But, no wonder how the knife will be pulled out. I was in relief. Then, a monster scared me from behind. It is called a "Twitcher". His head is twitching, wearing bloody clothes, gouged-out eyes, and a twitchy behavior. He was fast though. He swiped at me, it hit me at my face. Then, I caught his other jab to me. I put my foot at his stomach, then that guy in a hoody opened the door behind me and holding the knife, which he successfuly pulled the knife out of the door. I flung the monster at him. The guy didn't fall down, but his stand is balanced, and it seems that his holding his knife from forward position. That is why I can't hear any single thing from the monster. He was stabbed! Then I ran...

 But at last, a safe room. I found a kitchen knife and a flashlight. I picked them both up and then, I hear a glass shattered. It was from the other room near me. As I looked out, there were bloody footprints from the floor, from the window. I got out. But it was the outside of this building.

 " How could I escape if there are no clues including the exit? I guess I need to investigate this. Maybe it can give me a clue about escaping this building...

... I hope..."

 " Man, better watch my step as I walk through these planks. It's a long way down... Man, who puts these things?! I have fear in heights! I mean is this a---... Oh no..." Suddenly, something came to my mind...

 " Is this an abandoned building?... How 'bout these monsters? The man in a hoody? No... This can't be... I need to find a way out of here!" Then I continue my walk. I found a ladder and I climbed to it. Then, I saw the guy again, in the other ladder. As I looked at him, he was staring at me. Then he walked backwards. As I looked around, he was gone, but there is something that I need to see, a map. Must be from this guy. It was drawn with blood. It was a structure of the hallway of this building, noted as "3rd floor to Generator room". It seems that the other hallway is covered. I don't know what it is.

 I climbed down. The guy showed up again, from behind. He almost got me by slashing his knife to me. I dodged it. The knife torn the ladder apart because the ladder was too rusty. " It is really a abandoned building..." The last thing I've said about the building, first that I saw it, was really abandoned. I didn't just believe what I'm saying. Now that I have...

 I kicked him over and then as I turn around, he is gone. He left me something. A paper, with a "e 10" written on it, even on blood text. I asked myself about it, " What is this?... What kind of importance should be for this paper?..." I don't get it. He only gives me a hint, just a paper with a code on it. But, maybe there is a keypad-lock door around somewhere...

3rd Floor| Power Maintenance Floor

 The hallway is blocked with a active and broken lights. It was sparking and I couldn't get down there. But there was a note. " Dear Janitor, I have a problem with some lights. Could you please turn off the electricty for a short while? So I can fix it." It was noted... " So, I need to turn the electricity off to get through this darn obstacle. But, where is it--- Oh! Just below me!" I moved through. Then, " A gun... 17 bullets in one clip for 51 ammo. Great... This is not good..." As I continue, I entered a cafe. I saw a door. I entered it. I didn't wonder where I am.

 " Man, so silent... Where am I?..." Then I saw a door from my left. As I came to it, the lock won't budge, and I heard a baby crying, just once. It scared me. And then, I turn around, then I continue to the other door near me. It was the generator room. " Finally..." Then, I turned the electricity off...

 What a big mistake that I've done so far... That the background, the whole background is pitch black. " Oh no... My flashlight!... Darn! Where in the-... Can't see a thing!.." I heard screams, moaning, and footsteps... " ... What's... going on?..." Didn't know what happened next...
