You go inside the bus station and look around for someone you can help in there. You run from one end to the other end but don't find anyone who needs help anywhere.

You hang your head and stand in the middle of the station in defeat. You should have gotten off the bus sooner.

During the last 30 seconds you have left you hear a sudden shriek, followed by panic outside as one of the buses on Platform B comes to an abrupt stop even though the sign says it is supposed to stop at Platform A.

You rush to the window and peer outside to see a young adult male running away from the crime and a crowd gathered around the now mangled body of a young teenage girl just in front of the stopped bus.

"Damnit... " you utter at the missed opportunity. As your time remaining hits zero the scene outside suddenly freezes as if time itself has stopped. Some people are frozen mid-stride, other buses have suddenly stopped dead and even a cup that had been blown across the platforms is frozen in mid-air.

"I wonder if she'd be willing to accept my contract, and actually be able to complete her end of the bargain," you hear a voice say behind you, inside the station. It is the same one from an hour ago when you made the deal to save a life.

You turn around and find yourself looking at some kind of phantom. It floats just off the ground, and is nothing more than a hooded black cloak with a feautreless, white porcelain mask where the face should be. In the eye sockets of the mask, where its' eyes should be, you see only darkness.

"I've come to collect you, as I'm sure you can guess. But I won't be able to enjoy you just yet. Wait for me in my realm as I go speak to that little girl you failed to save," the phantom says, suddenly vanishing before you have a chance to respond.

The ground below where the phantom had been standing suddenly falls away into nothingness. The floor cracks, shatters, and falls into a black abyss where nothing else seems to exist.

You try to move to perhaps run but find that your entire body is frozen in place. You can do nothing but watch helplessly as the floor under you cracks, then shatters, and you fall into the abyss below.

"Oh, and one last thing..." you hear the phantom say as you fall through the darkness, "When you get there... Make yourself comfortable. We will have a long time to play and we may even end up having company."

A cruel, haunting laugh fills the abyss as you suddenly get a strong feeling that even once your debt is paid... this phantom is not going to let you go.


Game Over: You belong to the Phantom now, and forever.
