The 100th Trial

It happened again...

My body felt heavy. It's hard to breathe. Everything felt cold.

"HAHAHAHAHA! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE! DIE!", her voice echoed. My vision blurred. Finally... I felt nothing. I'm drowned in darkness.

*GASP!*

I opened my eyes, scanned the cramped room, stabilizing my breathing. The pain disappeared, nothing but a dream. Yes, it was a dream. This time, it's the 100th one.

I need to prepare, fast. But everything is useless. The broom behind me, broke too fast. The cabinet, she broke through it last time. My laptop, well, that had already broken before I even got here, a shame, I even bought it yesterday.

There's nothing. This is just the janitor room of a 20th floor building. Rarely anyone used this room. Even the janitors used the one on the 10th floor. But who cares, I need to prepare, again.

*tick tock*

11:59 PM, 15 more seconds. It's not enough, it never was. But I got no choice. This time, surely.

I opened the door, looking for her. Thank goodness, she's not here, yet. I ran as fast as I can, to the elevator, no. To the stair, the elevator was the worst, I still remembered it, it's torture. But all of this was torture in the first place.

The dark, long and narrow hallway. The sound of rain assaulting the window. The thunder booming paired with a blackout. This place is a nightmare.

I heard a footstep, it's her, it's definitely her. I don't know how, she always seems to find me. No one else is here, I know, no help is coming.

I turned back, headed into a large office. Many hiding spots, too many. Under the desk, inside the locker, behind the door, everywhere the eyes can see. But none are safe, I guarantee.

The windows. I hid out of it once, knowing this is the 20th floor, but she pushed me –every, single, time– splatted to the ground. Not this time, I knew where to go, but don't know if it works.

*tack tack tack*

*kachak*

The door opened. She found me, yet again, and I don't know how. I only saw her silhouette, but I know she saw me. Again, I ran, pushing every chair out of my way, barely passing her. I blame my lack of muscle.

"YOSHIDAAAAA!!!!!!"

*GASPED! GASPED!*

It got heavy again. Everything got heavy, my body, my eyes, my feet, everything. I remember this too. Last time I stopped here, she charged me, I died. Can't get a word through her head. I had given up on that plan.

*clack!*

Great. I didn't miss it this time. The fire alarm. Ringings everywhere. Shower everywhere. If I can't see, she can't see. As long as she can't see, I don't care. It gave me the upper hand.

*thud*

F##k! F##k F##k F##k!

I messed up. I slipped, the floor is too wet. I thought I could do it, just like last time. Was that just luck then? Am I unlucky now? Get up, get up, get up.

"F##k!..."

I think I broke my ankle.

"YOSHIDA!!! COME OUT NOW!!! I'LL STABBED THE SH#T OUTTA YOU!!!"

F##k it, just run. Ignore the pain, ignore her threat, ignore everything. Just focus on going there.

*cluck*

...huh?...

What's that sound? Crunchy, was it me? My foot? It looked fine to me, thank goodness, it's still intact.

...

Hm? That's weird? Was my foot usually bend that way? Wait, I think I got it.

"AAAHHH!!!! MY FOOT!!! MY FOOOTT!!!!"

It broke. I screamed, like a baby. Of course, like a baby, their mother always comes to them.

"Aww~ Aren't you cute~"

When? Out of nowhere, in front of me.

"W– WAIT!!!! E– EMI!!! W– WAIT!!! I'M SORRYYYY!!!!!"

*stab*, now I got a broken pair.

"AAAHHHHH!!!!!!! E– EMI!!!! PLEASE!!!!!"

*stab stab*, next was my thigh.

"F####KKKK!!!! EMIIII!!!!"

*stab stab stab*, now my hands, when I tried stopping her.

"E– EMIIII!!!!"

*stab sTaB STAB*, now my sides, near the hips.

"E– emiiiiiIiii!!...."

*STAB Stab stAb stab stAb sTaB stab STaB sTABStAB staB sTAB sTab sTAB stAb sTAb sTAb STAbsTab stAb sTab stAB STaB sTaBSTAB stAB StAbSTAb STAB StABSTABSTAB*

"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!"

It hurts. She churned my insides with the kitchen knife, making sure not to hit any vital parts. She wants me alive, yet she wants me dead.

"e– emi..."

She stopped, but my blood still running on the floor. Has it, ended? I couldn't tell. Everything hurts.

"you killed my father... you killed my mother..."

Oh, it's that line again.

"you killed my sister... you killed my future..."

Whatever, I can just respawn again, easy peasy.

"now I'm satisfied..."

And when I respawn again, I'll get her next.

"..."

And then I'll #### hEr aND STAB HER AND TORTURE HER LIKE I TORTURE HER FAMILY! HAHAHAHA!!! I'M GONNA GET YOU, YOU F##KER!!!! I'M INVINCIBLE!!!!!!

"100 trial..."

Huh?...

"I tried my best during this 100 trial..."

W– Wait... what is she–

"I survived..."

...

"And you... will rot in hell..."

...

W– Wait...

WAIT WAIT WAIT!

WAIT! WAIT!!! WAIT!!! WAIT!!! WAIT!!! WAIT!!! WAIT!!!

HOW DID SHE KNOW THAT!!!!! HOW THE F##K DID SHE KNOW THAT!!!! F#####KKKKK!!!!!!
