Suzy’s Strange Saga
You come to the conclusion that there is literally nothing for you back in your hometown. Given the state it’s in, it doesn’t seem like there is much possibility there either and you’d be better off just trying to make it on your own.
This is very new territory for you just throwing complete caution to the wind like this, but you’re determined to turn over a new leaf. This is going to be a brand new Suzy and your new life starts right now.
You start up the car and drive off.
As you drive you keep trying to form various plans about what you’re going to do when you get to the next town. First thing to do will be to get a room somewhere… or maybe you should just sleep in the car. That would stretch your money out a lot more, but you can’t just do that can you? You’ll need to bathe every once in awhile! Whore baths in a public restroom perhaps?
As you’re attempting to figure out how you’re going to go about your new life, you start to get a headache just realizing how much hard work this is going to be. You turn the radio on in an effort to keep your mind occupied on something else.
“…remember our shelters are the best in the world. Your family’s survival is important to us, so don’t settle for imitations…”
“Ground Zero ads. Of course.” You say.
You try to find a station that doesn’t seem to be bought out by this company, but the only luck you have is a few doomsday preacher type stations. Since you’re not really in the mood for that either, you turn the radio off and return to silence.
You continue to drive for some time. You notice you haven’t even seen another vehicle on the road, which is a little eerie, gets even more so when it starts to get dark.
You haven’t seen any signs of civilization for quite some time, just rows and rows of trees on either side. You never realized just how rural of an area you’ve lived in before.
Eventually the trees thin out a bit and you see a looming structure in the distance on your left.
It’s a Grey Building.
“What the hell? Did I drive in a circle?” you say to yourself.
You can’t imagine that you did considering you’ve been pretty much driving in a straight path the entire time. You suppose it MIGHT be possible since your attention hasn’t exactly been completely focused since the drive itself has been so boring, but this seems pretty damn odd.
Odd or not you’re back where you started and you stop your car near the Grey Building pretty frustrated at your situation.
“Shit!” you exclaim and bang on the driver’s wheel.
You have half a mind to just continue on and go back to town, but you sort of feel like that would be giving up when really this is just a minor set back and you’ve had much worse ones.
Jack probably has a GPS, maps or something in that treasure trove of shit he collects and he’ll probably be more than willing to help you out. You just hope he doesn’t see this as a “sign” that you decided to stay after all.
You park along side the Grey building, get out and make your way towards the door.
Remembering that Jack told you to knock three times, you do so and the door opens up. Jack isn’t there at the door though; maybe he’s got it on an automated system.
The other thing that seems strange is that it’s pitch black inside. You step just inside the entryway and still can’t see shit. Not even the dim moonlight from the outside is providing any minimal illumination within the doorway.
“Hey Jack! It’s me Suzy! Why are all your lights …Ungh!” you start to call out before you get smashed in the head and fall to the concrete floor.
“DIE INTERLOPER! THIS IS MY GREY BUILDING!” a horrible voice screams before you’re forcibly pulled deeper inside and the door slams shut leaving you in complete darkness.
You try to get up to run, but a very strong force is keeping you down. You hear the sounds of a rusty chainsaw being started up followed by insane laughter.
In your last moments before the chainsaw starts ripping your flesh, you realize that you’ve made a terrible mistake.
You didn’t drive in a circle and this isn’t the GRAY Building.
This is the GREY Building
You don’t understand it and you never will, but it doesn’t matter, you’re dead.
