SM:Just Give Up
From Create Your Own Story
You walk over to one of the open benches and take a seat. In your mind you count down your last two minutes. As you reach zero, a bright flash suddenly comes from the direction of the buses. It is blinding, and you use your arms to cover your face as well as closing your eyes to protect yourself.
It takes a few seconds for it to pass.
When it is over you open your eyes, lower your arms, and find yourself sitting in a black abyss. There is nothing around you but darkness: no people, no objects, and you can't even see what you are sitting on anymore.
"You disappoint me," a voice says, eminating from behind you. You turn around in your seat and find yourself looking at some kind of phantom.
It floats there wearing a hooded black cloak and has a featureless, white porcelain mask where its' face should be. You see no body or discernable form, and in place of eyes there is only darkness in the mask's eye sockets.
"When you finally got off that vehicle, I was expecting an exciting, frantic attempt to save your own skin. Instead, you simply gave up."
"I rode the bus too long..." you utter in regret.
"Yes, and now you are mine. I am here to collect and although you were a disappointment to me for the last hour, you will make up for it now," the phantom says, then turns and floats away. You lose control of your legs as you are forced to stand, turn, and follow.
"Whether you wish to or not," the voice finishes, releasing a cruel, haunting laugh immediately following its' words. You get a strong feeling that even after you've paid your debt, this phantom is not going to release you from its' service.
Game Over: You belong to the phantom now, and forever.
