escape from death

You walk into a dark room and see a cord hanging from the ceiling. You hesitate to pull it, in case it’s a trap or trick, but finally, you choose to flip the switch on. When you do this a blinding light shines so you can finally see. You realize that you appear to be in a school gym, standing directly under a basketball. In front of you you see another door, and before you have time to fully take in your surroundings, you are running towards it. You throw yourself at the door, turn the handle forcefully, and jump through.
