“What does Lorenzo want?”

The prisoner casts a sidelong glance. “Why should I tell you? I’m dead no matter what I do, right?”

You step away from him, your heart pounding in your ears. Your head is full of laughter and conversations with your family.

Lorenzo’s chuckle — deep and guttural — leaves your skin crawling. Your chest tightens, and the air is heavy with anticipation. The sensation of cold sweat and trembling — etched in your memory — returns after being locked away for years.

Not another panic attack…

“Hey, are you okay?” the prisoner asks.

Other voices join in.

Please, stop talking…

Choose your next action.

  1. Kill the prisoner. The voices must stop (click here).
  2. Place your head between your knees. Admit you have no idea what you’re doing (click here).
