SM:Accept the Deal
From Create Your Own Story
You lift up the pen and sign the bottom of the page.
As you finish writing the last letter in your name the page vanishes before your eyes. The pen vanishes next, then the table, then a circular patch of the floor right in the center of the room. As with the paper, you approach the hole. When you get to within three feet a human hand reaches up through the hole, grabs your ankle, and pulls you down inside before you have a chance to react. Everything goes black for a minute, and then you feel a hand pound on your chest.
You open your eyes to clear, blue skies and a man and woman leaning over you. You cough and spit up water as your chest and lungs ache. You gasp for air and take in the scent of the nearby ocean. You quickly become aware of the sand beneath you and the bathing suit you're wearing. The horrid taste of salt water fills your mouth and you can faintly hear the sound of the ocean as well as a voice: "Are you okay!?"
You feel disoriented and it takes a few minutes for you to realize it is the 20-something woman leaning over you that is trying to speak to you.
"Hey? You almost drowned. Are you okay? The ambulance is on it's way," she says with genuine concern in her voice.
"I'm... I'm okay..." you manage to say between breaths.
"Your time begins now..." a voice echoes within your mind. You find are now acutely aware of just how much time you have left. You also find that you now remember just who you are: your memories have returned.
As the minutes start ticking by you feel a chill down your spine each time one passes. You're going to have to get used to that feeling because it is going to happen at least 59 more times.
