SM:Unarmed Sneak Attack
From Create Your Own Story
You slip out into the hallway quiet like a cat, moving quickly and quietly to close the distance between the two of you. The man finishes checking the other room and is turning right as you reach him.
You swing with your fist and catch him across the jaw, and he stumbles back. You move in for another strike but he recovers much faster than you expected. He raises the gun, and the muzzle flash when he pulls the trigger is so exceedingly bright you're forced to close your eyes and shield your face from it instinctively. You hear the crack of the gun going off and at this range, he shouldn't have missed.
A few seconds pass by, and you don't feel anything hit you. You lower your arms and open your eyes to find the reason why. You're no longer in the church basement.
Instead you are in some kind of black abyss. You see only your own body, and darkness around you.
"That went exactly as I expected," a voice says, though you cannot tell from where. It seems to echo throughout the abyss around you. You recognize it as the voice from earlier when you signed the contract.
"You'll have to forgive me for not greeting you in person. I am currently speaking with several other people on the prospect of them signing a contract I've offered. I'm sure you can understand. Just make yourself comfortable and I'll be with you in a little while. I suggest you use this time wisely, we will have eternity to spend together and you won't get any other opportunites to actually be comfortable," the voice says.
"But the deal was only until I paid off my debt!" you call back at the darkness.
The only response you hear is a cruel, haunting laughter. You get the feeling it hadn't misspoke, and that it isn't going to let you go even after you have paid your debt.
Game Over: You belong to the Phantom now, and forever.
