Hall of Infinite Doors
[face="times new roman"]You lunge forward, stretching the ropes that bind you to their limit. You snap your jaws shut on his throat, ripping it out in a gory mess. You spit the chunk to the ground, a salty iron taste left in its wake. Joe drops the gun and clutches at his wound, standing in shock for a few moments before falling to the ground. A strange sound, part gargle/part whistle, emits from him as he struggles desperately to breathe.
You shake and wiggle until you are able to pull one of your arms free. From there, it takes little work to escape the bonds and you are soon on your feet. A tingling surge floods through your limbs, the circulation of blood jarring them back to life.
Joe is still squirming around on the ground when you grab the shotgun from the floor beside him and head for the exit. You try to walk quietly, but your footsteps echo off of the walls. By the time you start to see the distant glow of the main chamber, the leader of the colony appears at the end of the corridor, silhouetted against that eerie light source.
"What happened to Joe?" she asks.
Your only answer is to cock the gun and blast a hole through her midsection. She is on her knees trying to somehow close the wound with her hands as you pass her by.
When you get to the main chamber, you realize how futile your attempt at escape is. There are five men in the chamber, each of them with a firearm. You blast one more of them down with the shotgun, but they riddle you so full of holes that you can see behind you by looking through your chest.
You fall face first to the ground, a pool of blood rapidly expanding beneath you.
As everything starts to fade, you overhear one of them say to another; "I knew he was one of them. Look at the blood around his mouth."
You can hear the weeps and moans of women in the distance, no doubt mourning the passing of the men you killed. You wonder briefly how all of this could have happened before everything goes dark.[/face]
