Eliana: Difference between revisions

Steadying the machete, slowly made her way down the left hall. As she traveled, the flickering lights and seemingly distant sound of machinery made every step tense up. Eliana started sidling against the wall as the hallway had a turn coming up. Creeping close to the edge, Eliana peeked around then suddenly withdrew her head back, her breathing becoming erratic. She had seen a person in a grey pullover, facing the other way brandishing a meat cleaver. Eliana could hear the person mumbling to himself, about "bullies" and "being one with the trees." Slowly making her way back down the way she came, Eliana was going to try to make it to the other hallway when she heard something behind her.

 

 

Turning around, she saw the person standing in plain view. His face was mutilated, with his cheeks missing large chunks of flesh, as if he used the meat cleaver he wielded on himself at one point. Ignoring the pain her feet, Eliana started sprinting away, not wanting to get into another confrontation. When she felt she ran a good distance she looked behind her and saw that he was gone. She stopped to look around and realized she had ran much farther into the halls, effectively losing the meat cleaver guy but also getting herself lost. Eliana sat against the wall to catch her breath when she heard a high voice pipe up near her.

 

 

Eliana looked up and saw a young girl, the flickering light enhancing her menacing grin. Scrambling to her feet, she held the machete at her and slowly started backing away. With another flicker of the dim lighting, the young girl vanished. Frantically looking around, Eliana felt a sharp pain and clutched her stomach. She began to vomit onto the floor, with blood mixing in with her own bile. 

When Eliana's eyes adjusted, she stood there dumbfounded. The door she took led to the stage of  what appeared to be some sort of game show. As she looked around, confetti was raining down upon her as a studio audience cheered her on with applause. On the other side of the stage was a man in a suit behind a booth. He was gesturing her to stand closer to him. As she walked over, still in shock, the man began to speak.

 

 

"WHEEL OF RELIEF!"
