I kept my eyes shut and couldn't seem to find the motiviation to open them. My mind was still racing and I could barely recognize my own panting. It was shrill and shaking, and no matter how long I waited it didn't stabilize.
After a time my hand slipped from the dagger and slid through my hair. I repeated this mindlessly and before long I was wiping at tears with shaking hands between strokes. This was definitely not good for my emotional health. Not at all. To almost die and have to kill, even if that weird pig did try to kill me first. To make matters worse I don't even slightly understand how any of this is happening. I almost just died you know?!
An interrupting clatter made my eyes shoot open. Instantly I was on alert again, expecting something to be attacking me. I was shocked to see instead that my dagger was on the ground, and the rest of the room was empty. I ferverntly spun around a few times just to make sure I didn't miss a bloody pig looming behind me.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Nope. Nothing.
Where is the body?
I wonder how much more baffling events can occur before I finally just go insane. Pessimistic thoughts aside, while I was searching for a vengeful ghost I noticed small sign beside the far door. I grabbed my dagger protectively and hooked it back onto my belt before going to get a better look. On it I saw the words:
Safe Zone - 3 rooms ahead
A safe zone? Safe sounds good right about now. I could use some safety. It sounds like room absolutely full of safeness, what more could I want right now?
Alright its decided. I need to get to that safe zone. I definitely can't stay here forever. From there I'll settle down and try to figure things out
Making up my mind, I planted myself in front of the door.
Actually, It would be a better idea to keep my dagger in hand. I might need it after all. Speaking of things I need, a hype session seems necessary.
Alright Grant, that wasn't so bad! You handled that extremely well. You're unscathed, zero injuries sustained. It wasn't so bad, so lets just keep moving forward. Forward, alright? Nothing bad will happen. Probably...
...
This might take a bit more convincing to do.
