My heart is throbbing inside my chest as I gasp for air. What just happened?  I slightly push myself away from Harris. I meet his eyes, “What is going-” he cuts me off as he put one of his hands to cover my mouth while the other signals me to -shh. He then moves his fingers to point in a direction behind me. I turn my head around and see a huge man walking around the kitchen floor. It turns out that we are not the only people here. Is he a survivor, too? Or a mere employee? And also, why does it seem like although he has thrown a knife at us earlier, he does not appear to be aware of other people in the kitchen right now? “He must be the head chef,” I hear Harris whisper. The man is indeed wearing a chef’s uniform with a black apron. He is short and quite fat with a mustache just above his mouth. He turns around while tapping on the tables as if he is looking for something. I look back at us and notice

The chef’s blood goes squirting around the floor when Harris cut his life from his neck. His lifeless body then rests on the top of the black bag with a thud. I take a step back as I feel myself shaking, scared of the event that happened in front of me. I look at Harris, his face is dark and his hand that is holding the knife is up in the air. He is shaking, too, and turns to look at me. Seeing my face, it seems like he has been brought back to his senses. He lets go of the knife and it falls down on the floor clanking loudly. He brings his hands in front of him as he stares at it in disbelief. His hands are bloody. His eyes are so lost. He looks at me and I feel scared for Him. “Amy...” He starts as I hear his voice crack, “I-I killed a man.” I have to do something. I go near him and pushed him to the side to let him collect himself. I push down the corpse on the floor and drag it towards the storage room although it is very heavy. I think that this is because of the adrenaline in m

I immediately open my eyes after I heard the voice and look around. What the hell is happening? I can’t help myself from smiling when I imagine myself opening my eyes inside my room. I miss those plain painted walls and my soft bed. And then I would wake up to my mom baking cookies and the smell of freshly brewed coffee consumed the entire house. I kind of regret not appreciating those little things that I have before we have gone here. However, that smile does not last long when I realize what is happening. It is already bright outside as I feel the warmth of the sun surrounds the entirety of the room. However, the golden walls have drained the life out of my entire body when I notice that we are still inside The Passion House. The water sprinkler system turns on but it is not stopping the fire. There are various explosions that we can hear as the fire quickly spreads around the entire hotel. I hold tighter to Harris when the fire appears in front of us like a snake, devouring ever

The smell of coffee wakes me up from my slumber. It was lingering inside my room, and as I slowly opens my eyes, the gentle sunlight from my room window greets me with a good morning. Oh, I’m home.I snuggle inside my blankets as I stop myself from crying. I don’t understand why I am suddenly feeling emotional as undecipherable distant memories start to flood my brain. My room definitely just looks like how it was before. It is still full of vibrant pastel-colored things and walled in white. However, I feel like someone died. Or maybe I lost someone so close to me.I sit down on the corner of my bed and run my hands on my hair. I have this feeling that there’s an emptiness within my heart. I hear a plate drop outside my room so I run downstairs in confusion. There, I saw my mom preparing our breakfast in her lovely white apron. I’m stunned. Surprised even. She’s picking up the broken tableware carefully so she will not cut herself. She notices that I am there, looking at her like a m
