Murder the Game Read online

  one there then he heard it louder. Wright started to walk towards the stairs, but the

  whisper kept getting louder, when he got to the stairs the whisper became a shout;

  when he looked around there was still no one there. When he turned back to the stairs

  he saw a man in a top hat and a bandage covering his eyes shout “KILL”, when Wright

  blinked it was gone. Wright then heard a sweet voice say “Come to me” he started to

  walk up the steps then the voice began to sing, it was a sound he didn’t know but he felt

  like he needed to go towards the voice. When he got to the second floor he heard the

  voice say again “Come to me” the voice was so sweet he had to go to. He walked to

  room 213 and stood in front of the door, only to hear the voice say “Come in and come

  to me.” Wright opened the door to see a woman there with her back to the door, she

  had long black hair and was in a white dress. The voice said again, “Come to me” so

  Wright started to walk towards her, suddenly she bent backwards to reveal her face

  covered in blisters with pure black eyes. Her head opened up to reveal several teeth all

  the way around, she started to head towards Wright when he quickly stepped back and

  fell. Crawling backwards towards the door, when he made it to the door she stopped

  and stood upright to turn around and face him. She looked at him with her dark eyes

  and started to turn her head upside down till it fell off her shoulders, she picked it up as

  Wright was starting to stand. With the face still looking at him she got ready to throw

  her head at him. As she threw it Wright slammed the door shut then he heard a loud

  thump on the door where the head hit.

  Wright stood at the door for a little while wondering if the woman was going to come

  through door but she never came. Wright turned to the right and saw a person at the far

  end of the hallway, the person was small and had its head down. When Wright took a

  step closer to the person the head quickly came up, the person was a small girl that

  looked like her face was burned with her teeth were charred black. When she lifted her

  head she rushed towards Wright and in an instant she was right in front of him

  growling and smelling him, she then let out a load roar and tried to bite him. Wright

  quickly stepped back and away from the girl and turned around and ran towards the

  stairs. Wright started to head down the stairs again when he saw the pale nun at the

  bottom of the stairs, he turned around and ran back towards the second floor thinking

  he could escape that way. When Wright got to the second floor the girl was there, when

  he got close to her she tried to scratch him but couldn’t reach. Wright started to run up

  towards the third floor, when he got there the door was locked and he could hear the

  girl and the nun slowly coming up the stairs. Wright started to slam his shoulder into

  the door but it wouldn’t budge, then he heard “We’re coming for you detective.”

  Wright felt a bony hand on his shoulder, when he turned around no one was there. He

  took a few steps away from the door then ran at the door and slammed into it but it still

  didn’t budge. Wright tried it two more times and on the third try the door swung open.

  Wright quickly stepped through the door and slammed it shut, he then saw something

  coming through the door. The face had a long mouth that was smiling with teeth that

  reached from ear to ear. The eyes were red with black pupils and slightly closed with a

  fedora on his head. He then saw two hands trying to pull itself out of the door. When

  most of the things torso was out of the door, Wright could see that he was wearing a

  business suit with a tie on with three sixes on it. When Wright tried to step back the

  thing in the door grabbed him, with its left hand it tried to pull him closer to the door.

  The thing then opened his mouth showing Wright three more rows of teeth, it kept

  opening and closing its mouth as if it was getting ready to bite him. The thing started to

  laugh, but the laugh sounded like an eerie wind up toys laugh.

  Wright finally got free from the thing in the door, when he turned around to get away

  he saw the little girl and the nun behind him smiling. Wright ran past the girl and the

  nun, then heard the girl say Run, run, as fast as you can, you won’t get away, we’re

  coming for you.” Wright ran past room 313, it seemed like he hit a wall and fell down

  when he looked at the door it opened by itself. When he stepped into the room he saw

  his wife standing by the window. She then asked Wright why he doesn’t love her and

  why he let her die. Wright took a step towards her when she held out a gun and

  pointed it at him, she said that she should have killed him first. Wright closed his eyes

  then said he was sorry, he heard six shots pop off then the click of the gun hammer. He

  opened up his eyes and saw that his wife had a gunshot wound to her head and then

  asked him why. He looked at his hand and saw the revolver, he dropped it then ran to

  his wife, repeatedly saying he was sorry then she said that she would never forgive him

  for what he did. She then caught fire and screamed, by the time Wright got to her she

  was nothing but ashes. Wright dropped to his knees and screamed he was sorry one

  more time then got up and walked over to the revolver. Wright picked it up and put it

  to his head but when he pulled the trigger all he heard was the click of the hammer

  hitting an already fired casing.

  Wright looked up and the face of his wife was warped and distorted rushed at him

  causing him to fall down, when he looked up at the door he saw Tony there with a

  revolver in his hand pointing it at Wright. Tony then said that he could do whatever he

  wanted to Wright and that in twenty-two hours everything would end and this world

  would be Wright’s world. Tony then shot the revolver but Wright didn’t feel the bullet

  hit him, he opened his eyes and Tony was gone. Wright heard the nun in a harsh voice

  say that they wanted him dead for the glory of the burning cross. Wright got up and

  closed the door then from behind him he heard the nun say “No use in hiding, we

  know where you are.” Wright then turned around and the nun was staring at him with

  her cold yellow eyes. He opened up the door and the little girl was there with her head

  down and her hair draped over her it. She quickly looked up to reveal to Wright a face

  that was decaying and burned with sharp teeth. Wright pushed her out of the way and

  ran to the stairs but the thing in the fedora was there, when he turned to run the other

  direction the nun and the little girl were there, walking towards him. He faced the thing

  in the fedora and decided to run past him, maybe he could make it outside and get

  away from this place.

  Wright started to run towards the thing in the fedora and when he got to it he shoved

  him aside to get past him then he ran down the stairs to the first floor. When he got to

  the front door he saw that big beast from the maze standing there, waiting for him. The

  beast roared, Wright turned and ran the other way before it had a chance to come after

  him. Wright got to the hallway that leads to the back of the asylum, he ran down it

  hoping to find a back door. When he got to the end of the hallway there was a door but

  when he tried to open it, it was lo
cked, he looked around and saw keys hanging by the

  door, he tried to reach the keys to open the door. The last key opened the door, then he

  heard the beast roar, when he turned around it was there half way between him and the

  front of the hall. It roared again then started to charge at him, Wright quickly went

  through the doorway and shut the door. Wright then stepped to the side of the door,

  the beast smashed through the door and when it was outside it burst into flames and

  vanished into ashes. It was dark outside but the moon was blood red, when Wright

  looked up at the moon he saw some things fly by it, but he couldn’t tell what they were.

  It was hot outside, it felt like 100 degrees, maybe more but it wasn’t humid. Wright

  could see some smoke in the distance and wondered when a fire was started. Wright

  walked around to the front where he saw four crosses upside down with people

  crucified on them with the crosses on fire. He thought that was the smoke that he saw

  before but when he looked down the road he saw more smoke coming from the

  distance. He started to walk in the direction of the smoke then realized that was on the

  way to his house. When Wright walked about two miles down, the sun started to come

  up; it was a bloody orange color and was coming up in the east, which is weird because

  it should rise in the west. Wright walked another eight miles before he reached what

  were the remains of his house. When Wright got to his house the door was smashed in

  and the word despair was written all over the outside of his house.

  When Wright got inside his house was trashed, papers were everywhere and some of

  his stuff was gone. Wright walked to his bedroom to find a half decomposed corpse on

  his bed and a skeleton on the floor by his bedroom desk. Wright looked in the left

  corner of the room by the bed to see a shadowy figure that was smiling, when it

  stepped into the light, it was Tony. Tony then asked how Wright liked his vision of the

  end of the world. Wright asked him why he was showing this to him and what the

  point of it all was. Tony smirked more and said that it’s a world for demons and for

  them to destroy as they please. Tony then told Wright that the reason he became

  Despair was to turn everything that Wright worked for into hell on earth and let the

  true rulers rule the earth to burn man’s kingdom to the ground. Tony started to laugh,

  then he looked at Wright and told him not to worry because he would already be dead

  soon. Tony then smiled and stepped back into the shadows, his eyes turned into the

  eyes of a bird and a crow flew out of the room.

  Wright started to look around and everything was on fire, he walked out of his house

  and saw the world burning; he saw people fighting over nothing. Wright ran towards

  the people fighting as they growled and hissed at him, showing their teeth , then

  vanishing. Wright looked up at the sky, it was blood red and the things were flying

  around and picking up people and dropping them. Wright looked back at his house

  only to see it was gone, he looked all around him but still didn’t see his house. The

  ground felt like it was flesh with some places feeling a little boney. Suddenly Wright felt

  claws in his shoulders, then the ground started to get further away; when he looked up

  he saw this leathery winged creature. It looked down at Wright, it had yellow eyes

  with red pupils, it then squawked but not like any animal that he had ever heard before.

  He started to see where the ocean should have been but it was no longer there, what he

  saw was a desert full of decay, burning in some parts.

  Wright started to wonder where this overgrown bat was taking him then after about

  thirty miles, Wright tried to get the creatures claws out of his shoulders. He tried to pry

  them off but they wouldn’t budge then he remembered he had a knife in his pocket.

  Wright put his hand in his pocket to find the knife, he found it in his left pocket, when

  he pulled it out he cut the creatures left wing causing it to let him go. Wright then fell

  to the ground from about twenty feet in the air. Wright landed by a pit of fire that had

  flames that reached a mile in the air. He then saw a horde of the flying creatures

  heading towards the east so he decided to follow them. When he walked two miles he

  started to see an upside down cross that was on fire, then he saw a giant throne like

  chair with someone sitting in it. When Wright got closer he saw that it was Thorpe with

  a halo of the flying creature. Some of the creatures were flying with people in their

  claws and then dropping them on to the burning cross. As Wright got closer to Thorpe

  and the burning cross he could feel the heat from the fire on his body.

  As Wright started to walk closer to Thorpe it seemed like it was actually getting further

  away but then he saw a building getting closer. When he got close enough he realized

  he was heading toward the asylum, which he thought was weird because the asylum

  should be behind him not in front of him. When Wright got closer to the asylum he

  heard screams and could see six crosses upside down burning. When Wright got closer

  he could tell that there were three men and three women hanging upside down on the

  crosses. The people were trying to break free and get away from the flames but Wright

  could see that they were nailed and bound by rope. Wright went up to one of the

  crosses and tried to take the person down but his hand got burned during his attempt

  to untie the person. The person was screaming and trying to grab at Wright with his

  hand that was tied up. Wright walked up to the door with the pentagram on it, when he

  got close to it the pentagram on his hand started to burn.

  Wright opened the door to a stench of rotting flesh that hit him like a brick wall,

  holding his breath was the only thing he could do to not throw up. When Wright got

  into the asylum there were bodies hanging everywhere, some were hanging from the

  ceiling with a rope around their necks. Other bodies were hanging with chains around

  their hands. Wright looked at everyone hanging, they all looked familiar to him then he

  realized that they were all the nurses and doctors that worked at the asylum. The

  asylum had dark and eerie feeling to it. Wright stepped carefully as he went further in,

  it felt like all the eyes of the dead were looking at him. Suddenly all the eyes opened as

  all the corpses started to scream. The sound was so bad all Wright could do was get as

  close to the ground as possible and cover his ears to muffle the sound. After a while

  everything fell silent, Wright got off the floor to see all the bodies had their eyes closed

  again, but he still felt like someone or something was still watching him. Wright turned

  around quickly and saw nothing, the eyes were closed and there was no one there,

  maybe Tony was playing a trick on him.

  Wright heard a loud thump coming from the northern hall, when he walked to it, it

  kept getting louder, then ceased completely. He then heard what sounded like metal

  scraping on a wooden surface. Wright walked slowly down the hall, then he heard the

  thump again, this time he knew it came from the kitchen. Wright opened the door a

  little to see what was making the sound. There was a huge man about seven feet tall

  with a meat cleaver. The man had a pig face with two small
tusks coming out of his

  upper and lower lips. The pig man was fat and not just a little, he looked like he easily

  weighed four hundred pounds and that might be generous. A faceless man with a huge

  smile came out from the other kitchen doors carrying a large pot of what Wright

  couldn’t see. When Wright saw the faceless man it reminded him of the thing that came

  out from the door. The smile on the faceless man’s face made Wright uneasy, like it was

  ready to take a big chomp out of him. The faceless man put the pot on the stove and

  took a piece of meat that the pig man had chopped and ate it. When the faceless man

  opened his mouth Wright could see that his teeth were big and long, he had a back row

  that was sharp. In a voice of a man that wasn’t all there, the pig man told the faceless

  man not to eat meat that it was for Thorpe. The two then started to argue as Wright

  slowly closed the door not to make any noise, but then it squeaked. Wright then heard

  the arguing stop and footsteps heading towards him. He looked around for a place to

  hide, only to find a small pantry he could fit in. Wright ran to the pantry and closed the

  door as quietly as he could.

  Wright heard the kitchen door slam shut then one set of footsteps running towards him

  and one running away from him. The footsteps were now coming back, as Wright

  heard the door knob turn, he tried to huddle in the corner more so who ever that was

  wouldn’t see him. Wright pulled his feet closer to his body as the door started to open.

  The door opened half way as the light from the hall almost hit him then he heard

  yelling from down the hall and the door shut. Wright stayed still in the uncomfortable

  position for about thirty minutes, after he was sure no one was outside he stood up and

  slowly opened the door. Out of nowhere he heard an eerie voice say “I wouldn’t do that

  if I were you.” The voice sent chills down Wright’s spine, when he looked behind him

  he saw something that looked like a string puppet. The puppet turned its head all the

  way around then laughed and said “Not at all, I would definitely not do that that’s bad

  that’s a no, no.” Wright looked at it then asked who it was and the puppet only laughed

  and turned its head all the way around again. The puppet then said “I can show you the
