Murder the Game Page 13


  him through the floor. Wright suddenly landed hard on what seemed like a wood

  floor, he wiped his eyes and saw that he was back in the room and the black ooze was

  all around him but the snake like chains were gone. Wright stood up and tried to wipe

  the rest of the ooze off his clothes but it was starting to get sticky so he decided not to

  worry about it but all he thought was that when he got home he was going to burn the

  clothes. Wright started to walk towards the door when he started to hear whispers in

  his ears, they would say “Don’t go that way go the other way” “Where are you going

  Wright” “Watch out there’s something behind you” “They see you hide” “They’re

  coming for you, run” Wright looked around but couldn’t see anyone but he still

  continued towards the door slowly just in case but the whispers still haunted him.

  Wright tried to ignore the whispers but they started to get louder with each and every

  step. When Wright got to the door he started to open it but the whispers turned to

  yelling but when he opened the door, the voices stopped. When Wright stepped out of

  the room he felt a force of air rush passed him but it didn’t feel like air, it was thick and

  heavy. Wright then heard a quick whisper say “Look” he looked around only to find

  there was nothing there then a harsh female voice whispered “KILL” then Wright heard

  someone scream. Wright was startled as he looked around again, when he turned back

  around there was a woman that had a pale face with pointy teeth, her face looked like it

  was scrunched up and there was blood coming out of her eyes. As soon as Wright

  looked at her she let out a horrible scream that Wright guessed was what a banshee

  would sound like. The moment Wright blinked she was gone and nowhere to be seen.

  Wright started to walk towards the stairs when he heard chains in the room next to him,

  when he looked at the room number it was room 316 then he heard a loud bang in the

  room like a gunshot. Wright tried to open the door but it wouldn’t open, then he heard

  another gunshot then the door finally opened to two men in dress suits running out and

  knocking Wright over. Wright recognized them as the two men who shot his wife and

  son, when he yelled out for them to stop they just looked back and smiled then

  vanished. When Wright looked in the room he saw two bodies that were decaying but

  they didn’t look like his wife and his son. Wright stood up and walked into the room

  for a closer look, one of the bodies was a young woman and the other looked like a

  child that might be in his teens, both were shot in the head. When Wright got closer to

  them the young woman bolted straight up and ran towards Wright then grabbed hold

  of him tight then tried to bite him. Wright grabbed her face and held it back so she

  couldn’t bite him and tried to shove her off of him.

  Wright finally pushed the woman off of him, when she landed on the ground her left

  arm fell off and maggots began to pour out of the socket. There was no blood but black

  ooze that came out, it looked as if the maggots were playing in the ooze. The ooze

  around the body started to bubble like it was boiling and the decaying body seemed to

  be melting. After about a minute the body was gone and the ooze started to sink

  through a crack in the floor. The skin on the second body started to fall off the body and

  with it came a stench that Wright wasn’t familiar with it, it was like rotting meat mixed

  with burning flesh. When all the skin was gone, all that was left was a greenish black

  color bones. Wright then turned around and started to walk out when he heard a

  whisper say “Don’t leave, come back.” Wright looked back behind him but no one was

  there so he continued to walk towards the door. When Wright got to the door he took a

  quick look outside, when he saw no one was there he started to walk for the stairs, not

  really sure where he should go but knowing there was nothing else for him up here

  where the stench of death and agony was. When Wright got to the doorway to the stairs

  he saw some writing above the door that said “Give into the night.” He stared at it for a

  moment and wondered what that could mean, when he was sure he wouldn’t find out

  he started to head down the stairs hoping that nothing else would happen but knowing

  that the worst was yet to come.

  When Wright got half way down he saw Tony sitting on the stairs as if he knew Wright

  was going to head down that way. When Wright got to where Tony was he told him to

  take a seat. Wright sat down next to him and Tony then asked him how he liked this

  world. Wright then said “It’s something else, there’s a lot of death and even more pain.”

  Tony laughed and said “I know isn’t it great. I love it, this will soon be my home.”

  Wright looked at Tony and wondered why he wanted to live in a place like this even for

  a notorious mobster this place was horrible. “This place just feels like home to me and

  someday I will rule this place, Lucifer said if I give him the souls of the asylum I can

  have this world” Tony told Wright. Tony then stood up and put his hands in the air and

  looked up and said “This is my domain everything here is mine.” He then lowered his

  hands and looked at Wright and said “You won’t get to see the coming of hell, you’ll be

  in the belly of Lucifer for all eternity.” Tony then laughed and sat back down, he then

  looked at Wright as if to mock him he said, “You will never be able to stop me the end

  will come and Hell will be reborn on earth.” After he laughed Tony disappeared

  leaving Wright forced to look at the now empty space and wonder how he could stop

  someone that was already dead.

  Wright finally got up and started down the stairs again, before he got all the way down

  he heard two things talking but he couldn’t understand them. After several minutes the

  voices stopped and the door opened, Wright could see the light that came from the

  other side of the door so he knew there had to be someone there. Wright walked the rest

  of the way down and then put his ear to the door to listen to anyone that might be

  outside the door but he heard nothing so he slowly opened the door a little so he could

  peek through, when he looked outside there was no one there. He opened the door the

  rest of the way and it felt like he was pushed out, then the door slammed shut behind

  him. The loud bang echoed throughout the first floor of the asylum, Wright was

  worried that someone might of heard it but no one came. Wright looked around and it

  was like looking at a ghost town, it was now all dusty and with every step that Wright

  took the floor creaked under the weight. Suddenly the asylum started to decay and fall

  apart and crumble Wright started to run through the hallway and down the stairs until

  he got to the front door but it wouldn’t open. Part of the roof fell right behind Wright

  scaring him so he tried harder to open the door by ramming his shoulder into it. After a

  few times of ramming the door it finally opened causing Wright to fall outside, hitting

  the steps as he fell.

  Wright stood up and watched the asylum crumble into a pile of rubble, he was happy

  he was finally out of the asylum, now all he needed to do was find a way back to the

  asylum he came from. Wright stayed looking at
the pile of what was once the asylum

  and he couldn’t help but smile and hope all the horrors that were in there were gone

  now. The sun was high in the sky and it was hot with no clouds in the sky. Wright

  started to walk away from the asylum, he didn’t know where he was going but he knew

  anywhere was better than the asylum. After walking a few miles Wright came to what

  looked like a bunker. The bunker had a black door and stood six feet from the ground

  and had vandalism all over it. One part on it caught Wright’s eye it said “Home of the

  traitors of the world” There was then a sign on the door that said “DO NOT ENTER.”

  The door was open a little so Wright opened it the rest of the way, as he did hundreds

  of large bats came flying out, as they came out they were screeching loud enough to

  where Wright had to cover his ears. When the bats were gone Wright uncovered his

  ears then heard a long wailing noise come from deep inside the bunker then a low

  whisper say “Go in don’t be afraid, there’s nothing in there that will bite”. Wright felt

  compelled to go into the bunker, when he stepped inside there were steps leading

  downward into pitch black nothingness. As Wright was heading down lights started to

  come on, he smelled something sweet like roses. It was nice to smell something other

  than rotting meat or burning flesh. As Wright walked down the steps he realized that it

  was quiet but it was an uncomfortable quite it made Wright uneasy like at any moment

  something was going to come out and attack him.

  The further down Wright went he started to see mummified human bodies plastered in

  the wall, they had a look of horror as if before they died something horrible happened

  to them. The number of bodies started to grow with some of their hands outstretched

  like they were trying to grab ahold of something. As he walked down he felt something

  grab his shoulder, when he turned around there was no one there, just the bodies

  reaching out at nothing; they were plastered so it couldn’t be that maybe it was just the

  eerie feeling he had about this place. Wright finally got to the bottom of the stairs to

  find a large metal door that looked rusted, when Wright tried to open it, it made a

  screeching sound but it barely moved. After several times of pulling the door as hard as

  he could he finally got it open enough to get inside. When he stepped inside it was like

  a small house, there was a dining table chairs and coffee table and even a kitchen. One

  the coffee table that was dated Sunday October 15, 1962 and on the front page was his

  picture but not for doing anything he wanted to be remembered for. Above his picture

  was the words have you seen this man as he read the article he was wanted for the

  massacre at the Rose Wood Asylum where over fifty people died. It said that there was

  only one survivor it had a picture of Tony dressed like one of the doctors that worked

  there. Under the first newspaper there was another one but it was dated Wednesday

  December 13, 1962 he was on the front page again but this time he was dead. The article

  said that they found him in the basement of the asylum in a room that was locked from

  the inside and that he had a gunshot wound to the head they believe it was

  self-inflicted.

  Wright looked around, it seemed as if the people who meant to hide out here never

  made it. He went to the kitchen to see if the food was good because he hadn’t eaten in a

  while but when he opened up the refrigerator the smell of rotting food filled the air and

  even though his stomach was empty he still threw up. He closed the refrigerator but the

  smell still lingered, he walked out and he saw a hallway with three doors one of the

  doors was right in front of him and the other two were across from each other. Wright

  went to the door that was on his left first as he opened it he heard what sounded like a

  girl crying when the door was fully open he saw a girl maybe in her teenage years

  sitting on a bed facing away from him crying. He asked her what was wrong, when she

  didn’t respond he stepped closer and she stopped crying and she started to slowly turn

  around. Before she turned all the way around she said “They took it they took it all”

  when she faced Wright she had a ghoulish like face with bark grey eyes then she said

  “They took everything there’s nothing left.” Wright asked her what they took before,

  she could answer she started to melt and as she melted she started to scream and say

  “they took it, why did they take it?” All that was left was a puddle of greenish black

  ooze Wright looked around and the room went from a nice girl’s room to a room that

  had been completely destroyed. Wright stepped out of the room and went to the room

  across from it he opened up the door and it was almost like the other room but with a

  bigger bed. The room looked nice like it had been used recently the only thing that

  threw it off was a body in the left upper corner of the room, the body looked as if had

  been there for a while and started to mummified. Wright looked away from the body

  then he started to hear the girl cry again, when he turned back towards the body the

  same girl was there but in the body’s lap. The girl looked at Wright then smiled but it

  wasn’t a kind smile Wright felt like it was a sinister smile, the girls started to get up but

  as she did it sounded as if all her bones were popping in and out of place. She then fell

  to her hands and started to crawl towards him, he backed up and got out of the room

  then closed the door. Wright heard a thump on the door then what sounded like

  something scratching at the door, Wright stepped away from the door in just enough

  time for the girl to make a hole in the door. The girls head poked out of the hole and she

  still had that evil grin on her face then she started to laugh but in a cackle like voice,

  what Wright assumed a witch would sound like. Wright quickly went to the last door,

  when he opened it the smell of something burning came rushing out then Wright

  looked back at the hole and the girl was gone. Wright stepped through the door and

  saw stairs leading up to God knows where but he closed the doors and started up

  wondering where he was now going. After a while Wright finally got to the top, there

  was a door there and above the door was the words “You will never escape the

  madness”. Wright heard laughing coming up from the bottom of the steps, it sounded

  like the girl again; he opened up the door went through then closed the door. Wright

  looked around wondering where he was he then realized he was in the boiler room, he

  turned around only to find there was no door, just a wall. Wright stepped out of the

  boiler room and was happy that he was no longer in the asylum with all the demons in

  it, he was back to the asylum he started at now he could find a way to stop Tony.

  Chapter 11

  Despair

  Flying through the night Despair is looking for his master so he can rest his tired wings.

  As Despair flies over a darkened city he sees a man lying on the ground bleeding to

  death, Despair perches on a lamp post to wait for his master to appear. After waiting a

  while a figure in robes darker than midnight walks up to the now almost lifeless figure

  that looked up at Despair with his glowing eyes, Despair knew it was his master. He
/>   flies down, lands on his shoulder, and caws; Death drops to a knee and looks at the man

  in the eyes and whispers something then the look of anger grew on the dying man’s

  face. As Death reaches inside the man’s chest he tries to grab Death’s arm but his hands

  went through his arm, when Death pulls out his hand he has the man’s blackened soul

  with the man’s body going limp. Death stands up and looks at Despair and tells him

  that the soul needs to go to hell as soon as possible, it’s a really evil soul and tells him to

  be careful. Despair took the soul in his mouth and swallowed it then he took flight and

  headed south he flew as far south as he could then got to the gates of hell where

  Naburus was awaiting the new arrival. Despair landed on the ground and cawed at

  Naburus then regurgitated the soul into Naburus’s hand, the soul then morphed into

  how the man looked in life and Naburus then took him inside the gates for his

  judgment. Despair then hopped to turn around and fly off to the north to find Death

  again. Despair flew over city after city until he got to where he last saw his master but

  now he was nowhere to be found so he kept flying until he went to Death’s domain.

  Death was sitting in a chair reading the scroll of life and death, his chair had two skulls

  carved into the arms and one skull carved into the headrest.

  Despair saw the name Tony Dolengo on the list, he was the second to last name and

  under his name it had some of the evil deeds he did. Despair flew off the chair and to

  the door then Death got up and opened the door for him as he flew out into the night

  sky. Death then sat back down in his chair and picked the scroll back up and continued

  to look at it. After an hour of looking at the scroll Death put it down then closed his

  eyes and slept. Despair liked flying around with nothing to do it made him feel free, as

  if he was his own master and he could go anywhere he wanted to. Despair saw a soul

  that was walking around in a city, he flew down so he could take it to death to find out

  here to take it. When he got to the soul it snatched him out of the air by the neck and

  strangled him, when despair was close to death the soul ate him. The soul then yelled

  towards the sky then morphed into a raven and flew off into the sky heading west. The
