Chapter 6 - Chapter 4: The Sacrifice

I'll be useful for once. In my life, I've never been useful in my whole life for various reasons.

When I became a psychologist, I always had people mocking me and treating me like an idiot who all got arrested for trespassing on private property.

I got some peace for some time then got back to work. I used to help a lot of friends that needed somebody to hear them out and give them solutions.

I have heard so many of your stories I will be able to write my own. I just saw so many people cry for nothing and I need to get close to understand the center of their problems.

But who would trust me? You come to my cabinet asking for my help and you don't even trust me. What is wrong with you people?

You give importance and time for something or somebody that is obviously not the one you think they are, even when you think they can change, you give them a chance, you try to coop with them, but if you don't understand them and reach your hand from your cytoplasm to theirs you will never be able to live with someone more then a week.

But in this locked place with this person, you telling me to bear with my worst nightmare, the person I can't even breathe near. At least amma helps us get out of this mess. Perhaps together.

Without any kind of vocal exchange or eye contact. I've started investigating. Our rooms were supposedly the same size, the bathroom had a weird wall that you can easily break so I just punched my hand inside and found a giant pipe, I went to check that manhole and saw that it's bending upward.

For a human, those chemicals are not just deadly it's like a human eraser. It touches you, you disappear.

So the idea is that we have to make a suit or flip the manhole's cover to stop the acid for some amount of time or seconds we have to wait till the water gets out the sewer so we don't touch it, or perhaps create a capsule to take us both outside this prison.

Using some scientific stuff I was able to determine that the pH of the water in the pipe is null? How acid acid is this acid?

Just as the bell rang we both went into our rooms. Some kind of automatic stuff in here. Or we are just a bit ordered in our schedules. Just as I entered my room I heard a bang and screamed like a little girl.

She is laughing at me in her room and that made me smile because at least that chuckle had a voice. I guess it's the only thing I heard her say or do. I guess that she was used to this sound.

An ancient letter receiver, a little bit rusty but still working somehow, and that band was a letter i just received.

Hi, and welcome to our lab.

Only the most qualified are accepted. You have been selected among the biggest group of scientists in the country to beat this escape room scientifically. Note that all materials, liquids, and solutions present in this escape room are all real and dangerous. Please act responsibly with all the chemicals. All chemicals will be renewed We will be tracking your progress and the one with the least progress will get a gun and one bullet. Don't create any relationships with the neighbors. (I can't even speak to her.) The next letter will determine a deadline according to your speed of research. Respectfully, The Father.

Bullcrap is what I say. Just as I finished reading, I heard the bathroom door is locked and the water started running. I assume she just went to take a little shower but suddenly, I heard another bang. In her room this time, 10 mins after mine.

So I sneaked in her room and damn it's huge. I had assumed we both have the same sizes but really that's a lot of progress she has done.

The walls are all pink and at least she got a nice bed all I have is wood stuff, wood walls, wood bed, wood chair, wood table.

After admiring her progress I turned to the letter receiver. A fancy glass white and yellow letter receiver. Beautiful. As I opened the letter I immediately started reading it.

Dear Darling (Who is this ?? )

I have been set the deadline for 6 months, the guy with me is working really hard here and it's starting to get annoying. (Poor guy) But with me being as lazy as I am, I decided to stand back and enjoy his work and his notes. if he gets too annoying it will be a problem and I'll have to turn his body off indefinitely, (This guy ... ) I hope I won't have to use this gun.

Fair well and see you on the other side C...

And she took the letter before I could read her name at all and slapped me with those baby sloppy soggy hands.

Luckily the letter wasn't made out of paper or she would have ruined it. She was so alerted she didn't even put anything on. What was so important about that letter?

But damn. I have never seen a body shaped like this one in my whole life. I was standing there like an idiot just looking at her mostly her face as I couldn't do anything because first I made a mistake and secondly I may have had feelings for her?

-What are you doing in my room?!? Why did you read my letter?!?

I could feel my heart going in and out of my chest like a boxer doing an unlimited combo on my chest. And my breathing stopped, I can't get any oxygen in. I'm probably going to suffocate just by looking at her this close.

Just Breath in damn it

-Hello? Any soul in that body?

My body isn't responding. And I just passed out.
