## Story

### Chapter 1 - The Safe. Or The Unsafe…

*November 20, 2022*

Nicolas James Ghilarducci is a 13-year old boy, it's his birthday and he is now 13. Nick at school, he walked a little. He puked out a little. Everyone was horrified. Everyone puked. Then everyone got dizzy. When they stared to Nick's place, Nick was missing. Everybody was in **shock.**

*2 months before Nick's disappearance*

”The experiment must work.” a scientist called Pete said. “Of course, I think it is the first time, not sure.” Fred said. “If it works, it will start in sixty one days.” Pete said. “But who will be picked?” Fred asked. “The person must be called Nick, Nick's first surname must begin with J and the second surname must start with G.” Pete answered.

*Two months later*

”Huh.. Where am I?” Nick asked. “T-ti-ti-tim-time-timer-timero-timeroom-timerooms.” A voice said. He was in an orange house, Nick was horrified. He saw a kitchen and ¶|}~9#&’-‘\_ and then went to the stairs. He saw a room in the second story and entered the room. He suddenly woke up and wasn't in that place anymore, because the halls were looking strange…

### Chapter 2 - The Restored Dark Halls

As Nick slowly opened his eyes, he found himself in a long and eerie hallway that seemed to stretch on forever, the walls made of cold, hard concrete that seemed to suck the warmth from the air. The silence was thick and unsettling, the kind that made the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. His heart began to race as he tried to make sense of his surroundings, but the more he looked around, the more confused and scared he became, the darkness seeming to swallow him whole.

Feeling a sudden thirst, Nick's eyes landed on a bottle of water that was lying on the ground nearby, the condensation on the outside of the bottle a testament to its coolness. He hesitated for a moment, wondering if it was safe to drink, but his parched throat urged him to take a chance, the dryness of his mouth making it difficult to swallow. As he took a sip, he noticed a left turn that led into a dark and ominous corridor, the shadows seeming to dance in the flickering light of the lone bulb that hung overhead. Despite his better judgment, Nick felt a strange pull towards the darkness and decided to explore, his curiosity getting the better of him.

As he walked deeper into the unknown, Nick's senses were on high alert, every creak and groan of the old building making him jump, the sound echoing through the empty halls. He couldn't shake the feeling that he was being watched, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. Suddenly, he saw a face staring back at him from the shadows, the eyes seeming to glow in the darkness. His heart leapt into his throat as he froze in terror, unable to look away from the strange and unsettling visage, the fear gripping him like a vice.

For what felt like an eternity, Nick stood there, transfixed by the mysterious face, the silence of the hallway broken only by the sound of his own breathing. But just as suddenly as it had appeared, it vanished into the darkness, leaving Nick alone once again, the emptiness of the hallway seeming to stretch on forever. With a newfound sense of courage, he continued down the dark corridor, determined to uncover the secrets of this strange and foreboding place, the darkness seeming to swallow him whole as he went deeper into the unknown.

Little did Nick know, this was only the beginning of his journey, the darkness and the fear only growing stronger with each step he took. As he explored his new home, he would encounter many more strange and terrifying sights, each one more unsettling than the last, the fear gripping him like a vice. But through it all, he would remain steadfast and determined, driven by a burning curiosity to uncover the truth behind the halls of this mysterious and haunted place, the darkness seeming to consume him with each passing moment.

### Chapter 3 - The Real Escape Room

Upon entering the expansive room, Nick was immediately struck by a sense of bewilderment and disorientation. The vast space boasted towering ceilings and a chilly, clinical ambiance, with only a solitary pillow and a few chairs scattered haphazardly throughout. Nick couldn't help but ponder the peculiar nature of the location he had stumbled upon.

As he approached the window, he noticed a diminutive blue pillow obstructing his view. Nick attempted to move it aside, but to his astonishment, it remained immobile. Despite having been in the room for a mere 59 seconds, Nick was already beginning to experience a growing sense of unease.

Abruptly and without warning, Lookers materialized from thin air. These enigmatic creatures were ubiquitous, their beady eyes fixed upon Nick as they swarmed around him. Nick felt a rising sense of panic - he knew he was in peril.

Just as he believed all was lost, a small vial appeared in his pocket. Nick was incredulous - he had no notion of its origin, but he knew he had to try it. He uncorked the vial and imbibed the Almond Water within. To his amazement, he felt his organs begin to regenerate, and his malaise began to dissipate.

Feeling revitalized and invigorated, Nick resolved to make his escape. He phased through the walls repeatedly until he finally discovered a means of egress. As he emerged into the sunlight, he was overcome with a sense of relief. He had survived the bizarre room and the Lookers, and he knew he would never forget the experience.

### Chapter 5 - The Car Mechanic Clue Office

Nick wakes up in a place that looked like a waiting room, and saw an open door, and he ran in it. Then the door closed very fast, and it scared Nick.
