I slowly woke up as I heard people arguing. I sat up rubbing my head. I looked at the people arguing, but there was one person who wasn’t arguing. I slowly got up, and stretched. “Who elected you president?” One of the women yelled at one of the guys. “We did.” I said along with a couple other guys. I looked at the one who was at the other side of the room. “Who are you?” I asked the guy not arguing. “The name is Alan Rodriguez.” He said with his arms crossed. “Who are all of you?” Alan and I asked. “Charlie Smiff, Kevin Young, Tyler Smith, Rachel Smith, Theresa, Kai Casadi, Samantha Yore, Vincent ‘Vinny’ Faer, Elizabeth Feare, and Mathew Kramer.” They all said one after the other. There was a metallic clinking right after Mathew said his name. We all looked at the door and it seemed to be opened a bit. Theresa went to the door and opened it the rest of the way, but when she did she was shot. “What the f*ck?!?!” Alan and I said simultaneously. She flew back because of the force of the shotgun. “Is she still alive?” Samantha asked to no one in particular. I walked up to her and felt for a pulse. “No.” I said taking off my coat and covering her. I looked out the door a little to see if there were anymore surprises. “The hallway seems safe, but to be careful, let’s stay here. At least just for now.” I said.
“There are a couple things I would like to point out.” I said right after a yawn. I didn’t say anything for a couple minutes. “Well?” Tyler said impatiently. “Don’t go out… Don’t stay in… Don’t open it… Don’t wake it… Don’t kiss it… Don’t look back… Don’t flinch… Don’t breathe… Don’t stop… Don’t cry… Don’t scream… and most importantly… Don’t… Assume… It’s… Over!!!” I said eerily. I looked at everyone but Alan, because most of them had a very confused look. Kai was giving me a look very similar to the ‘what-the-h*ll-are-you-talking-about-you-mother-f**ker’ look. I sat down, and yawned. “If this is what I think this is, then more of us are gonna die.” Alan said. I then I laid on my back, and when I did I felt something similar to a button. Something fell from the ceiling, and it hit my head. “Ow! What the h*ll!” I yelled rubbing my head. There was a clinking sound right after the thing from the ceiling hit my head. “What was that?” I asked, still rubbing my head. “How should we know, we can barely see anything let alone anything on the floor.” Kevin said. “Look for a light switch then.” Alan said annoyed with some of the people already. I looked around and saw something that looked like a light switch. I walked up to it, but about four feet away, I was shocked. I fell to the floor, and stared at the ceiling for a couple minutes. “What… the… f*ck?!?!” I yelled getting up slowly. I walked toward it again, but this time I didn’t get shocked.
“That was very odd.” I said as I flipped on the light switch. It took the lights a couple minutes to turn on. When the light did come on, everyone was shielding their eyes. I opened my eyes, and saw that that the floor was covered with dirt. “What is going on here?” Mathew asked. “Looks like the thing that hit my head is a tape player.” I said picking it up. “Everyone check their pockets.” Alan said. Of course, we all did. “What is going on here, Alan?” I asked him after finding nothing in my pockets. “This might the work of the Jigsaw killer. “Jigsaw? Isn’t he dead?” Samantha asked. “Yes, but there are people who follow in murderers foot steps.” Alan replied. “I found something.” Rachel said taking out a mini cassette. I took it, put it in the tape player, and pressed play.
“Hello everyone. I know you’re wondering why you all are here. It’s an easy reason. You haven’t appreciated your lives, and you have all taken advantage of people one way or another. Now it’s time that you all take the test and see if you can appreciate your lives or not. Now I suspect there is at least one person who is dead at the moment. Now if you’re wondering if she deserved it, she did. She was too hasty, and she was also a prostitute. Her name… Theresa. Now if you want to live, you must exit this room, and prepare to explore this maze. Because if you don’t leave this room within an hour of the door opening, the bomb in the room will explode, thus killing you all. If you want to save yourselves from death, you will have to close the door to both Light and Darkness so that the maze won’t collapse from the shockwave of the bomb. Now, everyone, Live or die, Make your choice.” The voice on the mini cassette said, as some of the people looked around the room for the bomb, and others including Alan, Kevin, Nicole and myself thought of what the guy meant by the door to Light and Darkness.
I looked around after thinking, and saw what seemed to be a small antenna. “There.” I said pointing at the center of the room. I got up, and looked out the door again. “I think we should try to go to another room.” I said after looking at the outside of the door. I saw a key taped to the door, and took it. Under the tape said ‘Darkness’. I didn’t say anything to the others. I put the key in my pocket slowly. I saw that Tyler was digging around the antenna to try and see the bomb. “What are you doing?” Alan and I yelled. “I just wanna see the bomb.” He said continuing to dig around the bomb. “You are an idiot.” Alan said. “He’s not an idiot, he’s an idiot who wants to die… apparently.” I said with a sigh. “Let’s go.” I said, and everyone but Tyler followed. “Your gonna die.” Kevin said before I shut the door. “Let me out!” Tyler yelled banging on the door. “No, you’re too fascinated with the bomb, we’ll let you f*ck it. Now, you two play nice in there.” Alan said. I started to chuckle at what was just said. “This Jigsaw guy is one messed up mother f**ker.” Kai said. We then got up to another door before we felt the shock wave of the bomb. “There’s two down.” Alan said with a smirk. I opened the door with the key I hid. I looked in, and saw that there were several glass boxes. “Looks clear.” I said opening the door. “Ladies first.” Alan and I said. After the others entered the room, Alan and I entered the room. I saw a mini cassette on the first glass box. I put the tape in the player and played.
“Hello, if you are hearing this then your have reached your first test. This test requires you to get one of six keys from the boxes. But hurry, you only have ten minutes before the doors close and lock forever. Make your choice.”
